Finance Options

Liquid Gold Security Lease

Do you have the security you need or only the security you can afford?

Does your company have a point of view on leasing versus the outright purchase of capital equipment?

Have you considered how outdated, redundant technology might compromise the integrity of your current security solution?

Signature Security Group recognises that many organisations struggle with these and other questions when it comes to choosing the right security solution. That’s why Signature Security Group provides its customers with the appropriate security solution and also with a range of options that address the cost of that solution.

If cash flow is important to you, Signature Security can offer an operating lease that allows you to have the level of security protection you need for your staff, property and assets, without paying an initial capital expense up front. There may even be tax benefits and you will be dealing with Signature Security direct, and not a third party leasing company.

Leasing includes our extended warranty product, called Signature Protection Plus, which provides equipment warranty over the life of the agreement. This means that if the equipment fails due to manufacturers' faults, all repairs and labour or replacement will be at our cost for the life of your contract (*Conditions Apply). And because Signature Security Group specialise in electronic security systems, our customers will always have access to the most advanced equipment on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why should I lease?

A. To keep debt off the Balance Sheet. Generally accepted accounting principals allow lessees to acquire assets without the accompanying debt appearing on their balance sheet. Please check with your tax agent or financial adviser on how this applies to your business.

With Signature Security Liquid Gold, you deal directly with us - not a third party organisation so you have one point of contact.

Q. Do you require a minimal down payment?

A. Most traditional financing options require a sizeable down payment. Signature Security Group has reduced the price of electronic security dramatically by replacing high, up front purchase costs with a minimal down payment amount followed by low monthly payments. Leases can also include “soft” costs like installation and maintenance packages.

When equipment is purchased with borrowed funds, credit lines with lenders are reduced. When equipment is leased, businesses have, in fact, established additional lines of credit with the lessor.

Q. Will a Signature lease improve your profitability and liquidity?

A. When a company purchases equipment, it must capitalise the equipment on its balance sheet by showing it as an asset, along with a corresponding liability for any loans used to finance the equipment’s purchase. This alters various financial ratios e.g. Debt/Equity. However, if a lease is classified as an operating lease for the lessee’s financial reporting purposes, it is not required to be capitalised in the financial statements. Furthermore, the only expense appearing on the lessee’s income statement attributable to the lease would be the full lease amount of the payment.

Q. What should I do if I have problems with the equipment that I lease?

A. Signature Security Group is solely responsible for service or warranty issues and we will support your equipment over the term of the lease. Leasing agreements come with Comprehensive Maintenance for the duration of your contract.

Q. What is Signature Protection Plus?

A. As part of your leasing agreement, you will receive added value with the inclusion of Signature Protection Plus, which provides comprehensive maintenance on all system repairs (including parts and labour) for the duration of your contract. Some conditions apply; please ask your Signature Consultant for further detail on these conditions and how a Service and Maintenance plan can minimise the risk to your property and assets.

Q. What happens at the end of my operating lease agreement?

A. At the end of the term you have the flexibility to:

• Refurbish the existing equipment with new equipment under a new agreement; or
• Continue with the operating lease; or
• Offer to buy the equipment at “market value”.

Q. Can I cancel the agreement?

A. An operating lease is a fixed term contract; if you cancel, you must pay out the balance of the agreement.

Signature Security Plus is only available during normal working hours on systems sold and installed by Signature Security Group.
