Is It Better to Finance or Pay Cash?

You may be considering all your options when making a large purchase or when an unexpected expense occurs. When deciding between financing or paying cash, you may consider the benefits and drawbacks of both options. Cash purchases may seem like the way to save money, or be the way to avoid future debt, however when choosing this option, you are missing the potential benefits of buying now, paying later through financing. So before coming to that conclusion, let us look at a few of those benefits that financing offers.

  • You can spread out your payments over time
    1. This allows you to make your purchase without tying up all your funds at once or depleting your budget. Monthly payments can make those larger buys more manageable and may also be the only affordable way to buy.

  • It can help your credit
    1. Making on-time payments helps you develop a credit history that shows potential future lenders that they can depend on you with other loan opportunities.

  • You can invest your money elsewhere
    1. Financing will free up your money to put towards other avenues such as retirement savings, travel, and other investment avenues.

  • It can give you a more affordable way
    1. Most large expenses are unexpected, therefore not planned for leaving you in a tricky situation. Financing takes away that stress by eliminating up-front costs and placing you with a convenient monthly payment.

    Financing options give you comfort by offering an affordable monthly payment instead of paying the full price up front which gives you or your customer the better option.
