AP - The Recognized Standard In Audio Test

There is no need to compromise

Audio Precision is the recognized standard in audio test because our instruments are the best in the industry.

Audio Precision offers long term leases for companies that prefer small monthly payments over a large capital outlay. Leasing is ideal for startups that need test gear to get to market and established companies that want to keep engineers equipped with the latest technology but may wish to conserve capital.

Due to international jurisdiction issues, in-house leasing is only available in the United States. However, many international AP Sales Partners can help with local leasing arrangements. AP hopes to extend its leasing program to select countries later in 2009.

Get the gear you need on your bench fast:

• One page application
• Decision usually made within 2-4 hours
• No down payment required
• No payments for 30 days

 

Flexible end-of-lease options:

• Buyout for $1 or fair market value
• Renew the lease or upgrade the instrument
• Return the unit and owe nothing
• No penalties for early buyout

 

Tax & accounting benefits

AP leases are structured to allow maximum tax benefit. Depending on the type of lease, the entire payment can be deducted as direct operating expenses rather than a capital investment. Leasing also allows the instrument’s value to be depreciated faster, reducing taxes over the term of the lease.

We are happy to work with you and your tax advisor to determine which lease structure best suits your needs.

Leasing through Audio Precision preserves existing lines of credit and offers better fixed rates than traditional bank loans. There are no restrictive covenants and no cross collateralization with other company assets.

 

AP's leasing program is managed in partnership with American Capital Group.
