FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is capitalized cost?
It's the negotiated price of the leased asset, similar to the purchase price in a loan.
Can I negotiate lease terms?

What happens at the end of a lease?
You typically return the asset, purchase it at the residual value, or roll into a new lease, depending on the contract.
