FAQ

Questions we get asked

Is anything in these articles financial or tax advice?

No. They explain how equipment lending generally works in Canada so you walk into the conversation knowing the vocabulary. How each lease structure is treated on your books depends on your situation, and your accountant confirms which treatment fits before you sign anything.

Do these articles apply outside Québec?

Yes. We write for businesses across the 10 provinces and 3 territories, and every article is published in English and French. Where a rule genuinely differs by province, the article says so rather than averaging it away.

I already have a quote for the equipment. Do I need to read any of this?

Not really. If you have the quote or invoice in hand, send it with your recent bank statements and we will start placing the file. The articles are here for the part before that, when you are still deciding whether to lease or to borrow, and what a reasonable structure looks like.
