    OwnershipYou own the equipment outright once the loan is paid off.You do not own the equipment and must return it at the end of the lease term unless there's an option to buy.
    FlexibilityLoans offer less flexibility to upgrade, but this is balanced by the advantage of ownership and potential for longer-term use without the need to upgrade.Leasing offers the ability to upgrade to newer equipment more frequently, beneficial for technology that becomes outdated quickly.
    End of TermAt the end of the loan term, there are no further obligations; the equipment is yours.At the end of the lease, you may have options: return the equipment, renew the lease, or buy the equipment at market value.
    Interest Rates and Total CostOwning the equipment can be more cost-effective over time.The overall cost can be higher over the long term due to continuous leasing.
    SuitabilityIdeal for businesses looking to invest in long-term assets and build equity.Best for businesses that need to keep up with the latest equipment without the burden of ownership.
