EQUIPMENT LEASING AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE ON MARUM CONSTRUCTION COMPANY  

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the Study

Leasing as an easy access to assets required for operation in the realm of marketing as basis for spurring societies to economic development through growth is obviously the need of the industrial sector of Nigeria-Olusoga (2004) and Oko and Anyanwu (2002). The complexities involved in leasing were due to its mechanism. Osaze, (2003) investigated lease mechanism and it’s advent in Nigeria. Izu, (2008) “focused on the development, awareness and opportunities associated with leasing as well as the major constraints associated with the practice of leasing in Nigeria. Eke (2008) emphasized on the prevailing factors in Nigerian Economy as it makes equipment leasing very attractive as an alternative source of capital asset acquisitions, and highlighted in the process; the relationship between lease turnover and profitability of leasing companies. 

Osaze (2003) defines leasing as a contractbetween the owner of an asset, the lessor and the prospective user of that asset, thelessee, giving the lessee possession and use of the asset on payment of rentals over aperiod of time. 

The lessor retains ownership of the asset so that it never becomes theproperty of the lessee or any third party during the tenure of the lease. Overall, small- andmedium-sized enterprises constitute a significant sector in any economy. 

Access to finance is one of the most widely discussed issues in recent times among financial experts world over. This is because it has become the major hindrance to industrialization. According to Adam and Hardwick (2008) ineffective domestic investment, poor economic growth and slow pace in poverty reduction experienced in most nations of the world is as a result of lack of access to affordable and reliable finance or credit to power their local industries. Lack of funds is a major challenge faced by captains of industries in developing nations of the world. According to Smith and Wakeman (2005) organizations exist in competitive environments and they continuously employ mechanisms that make them take lead in their line of businesses.

The quest for good financial management strategy is not contestable because every business needs a good and dependable cash flow to grow their businesses. This has made it necessary for corporate bodies to seek for ways of reducing cost of operations especially when it comes to asset acquisition. In today’s fast paced business environment, acquisition of modern equipment is imperative for long term growth and development but funds to acquire these equipment are not accessible. Gabara and Todaran (2011) observe that there is need as a matter of urgency for industrialists to develop other innovative financial products that would circumvent access pitfalls associated with traditional forms of financing. One form of such financing that has the ability to emerge as an innovative form of financing is lease financing (Westley, 2003).

There is no doubt that most organizations need a lot of equipment and machineries to embark on smooth operations inspite of the fact that these equipment and machineries are costly. However, specialists have discovered that these equipment and machineries can be leased rather than purchased outright in order to have sufficient and adequate capital for operations. According to International Finance Corporation (IFC) (2004) leasing in its simplest form is a means of delivering finance. It is cheaper than the traditional means of borrowing. Miller (1990) is of the opinion that leasing, in effect, separates the legal ownership of an asset from the economic use of the asset. However the curiosity about the emergence of financial leasing as a common method of funding capital equipment led too much of the early research into the choice between leasing and buying.
