Industrial Equipments

For an existing or new business, deciding what kind of Industrial Equipments leasing or purchasing is the best choice can be difficult. The various industrial equipment financing programs have been developed to meet the needs of all types of businesses including those with poor credit or those who only operate on a seasonal basis. Certain plans have also been created to give new companies the step up they need to be successful.

Traditional leases are for companies who don't want ownership of the items, but prefer to 'rent' them. These have no buyout terms and have low payments that are considered an operating expense when it comes to tax time. These are particularly helpful for equipment that depreciates quickly. You can purchase what you need at a fair price and extend the term to meet your needs

This type of industrial equipment financing works similar to a traditional lease except the items are purchased at the end of the term. Once the purchase price has been paid in full as well as interest, you will only have to pay a small percentage of the original price tag or a single dollar to transfer ownership. In many instances, you can pay a percentage of the cost ahead of time to lower the overall payments and show you can make the payments. These are ideal for those whose credit needs the extra boost.

Seasonal payment programs work for seasonal businesses and organizations such as those involved in road construction or agricultural industries that only have cash coming in during certain seasons or months of the year. These are often fully customizable to meet the needs of the company including the number of months per year payments are made, the amount of the payments, and the length of the term. In some instances, only small payments will need to be made during the off-season.

Sometimes a company purchases the items they need only to find out that they would like to increase their cash flow or invest their money directly into equipment that increases in value rather than depreciates. With a sale-leaseback, the business sells the equipment to the financial institution and leases it back until it is paid in full, or they lease it until they no longer want it.

Master Industrial Equipments financing is ideal for companies who will be purchasing several pieces of equipment in a certain amount of time. A 'main' agreement is signed and from there a separate set of terms and lengths are set up for each item.

Food Inflation Knocks Off Sensex

Indian markets ended in the red for third straight session as surge in food inflation and profit booking by foreign institutional investors in previous session dampened sentiments. Rate sensitive stocks remained under pressure on concerns that the Reserve Bank of India may tight interest rates to control inflation.

India’s food inflation rose 18.32% and the fuel price index climbed 11.63% in the year to 25 December 2010 compared to 14.44% and 11.63% respectively in the previous week. The primary articles price index was up 20.20% compared to annual rise of 17.24% a week earlier.

“New money is not coming in and that is a concern for the market. If results are not inline with expectations then we are likely to drift lower,” said Arun Kejriwal, director of research firm KRIS.

Bombay Stock Exchange’s Sensex ended at 20,184.74, down 116.36 points or 0.57 per cent. The 30-share index touched a high of 20425.85 and low of 20107.17 intraday.

National Stock Exchange’s Nifty closed at 6048.25, down 31.55 points or 0.52 per cent. The broader index touched a low of 6022.30 and high of 6116.15 in today’s trade.

Facebook

With its $500 million infusion  from Goldman Sachs and other investors, Facebook is now flush with cash, and a market value of about $50 billion, giving it the financial muscle it needs to compete with better-heeled rivals like Google.

And Facebook hopes for an even bigger advantage from the deal, the ability to delay an initial public offering. That would allow it to remain free of government regulation and from the volatility of Wall Street. It would also allow Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, to retain near absolute control over the company he co-founded in a Harvard dorm room in 2004.

This strategy was unthinkable in Silicon Valley just a few years ago, when hundreds of start-ups with scant revenue and no profits, like Pets.com and Webvan, raced to go public, and investors eagerly lined up to buy their shares.

Lots of people would stand in line to buy shares in Facebook, but for now, only an exclusive few — wealthy clients of Goldman Sachs will be able to. On Monday, Goldman sent e-mail to certain clients, offering them the chance to invest in the company.

That offer is the latest sign of the emergence of active markets in the shares of closely held companies. Those markets are helping successful start-ups like Facebook develop the financial wherewithal to compete in the big leagues of Business. They have also become an avenue for venture capitalists and start-up employees to cash in their stock, turning many overworked engineers into instant millionaires.

And so a young mogul like Mr. Zuckerberg, the world’s youngest billionaire at age 26, can enjoy many of the benefits of going public without having to tie the knot with Wall Street. Other hot technology companies like Twitter, Zynga and Groupon are also tapping secondary markets to keep stock market investors at bay. They are in no rush to go public and no longer need the bragging rights that a stock offering used to bestow.

“This is a topsy-turvy world,” said Scott Dettmer, a founding partner of Gunderson Dettmer, a law firm that has advised venture capitalists, start-ups and entrepreneurs since the 1980s. He added that even a few years ago, “there were all sorts of business reasons to go public, but for entrepreneurs it was also a badge of honor.”

Perhaps more than any company founder, Mr. Zuckerberg, who declined to comment for this article, has frequently expressed his lack of interest in Wall Street, though Facebook is clearly not above taking its cash. He passed on opportunities to make a killing, for example, when, at age 22, he rejected billion-dollar offers for Facebook.
