When to Choose a Capital Lease (Cap-X) Structure

  • You plan to use the asset for most of its useful life and want ownership.
  • You want depreciation benefits on your tax returns.
  • You prefer a loan-like structure with predictable payments and a clear end-of-term payoff.
  • Your business has stable usage and aims to build balance-sheet assets.

Real-World Perspective for Small Businesses

  • Growth-focused firms often select Op-X for liquidity and flexibility.
  • Established companies with predictable needs may choose Cap-X to reflect ownership and leverage depreciation.

At Prime Capital Source, we tailor solutions to your cash flow, covenant needs, and growth goals, ensuring optimal terms.

Note: Accounting standards (ASC 842 in the U.S., IFRS 16 globally) and lender policies can affect specifics. Always consult your CPA or financial advisor along with your Prime Capital Source advisor.
