Structured as an operating (FMV) lease over 60 months, the estimate below assumes you return or refinance the residual at term end rather than owning the machine outright — that's why the payment runs lower than a $1-buyout structure on the same asset. At an estimated $185,000 purchase price, at this price point, most commercial lenders will want to see at least 1-2 years of time in business before offering their best rates.
