Explanations for the different end-of-term options are provided below:

Fair Market Value (FMV) Purchase Option
This program has the lowest monthly payments. At the end of the lease term, you may purchase the leased property for its current fair market value.

In many cases, this lease structure may also offer tax and accounting advantages as payments are considered an operating expense and neither the capital asset nor the related liability are reflected on your balance sheet. Your tax/accounting advisor should be consulted for specific recommendations.

10% Buyout
This program is attractive if you want low monthly payments, which are made possible by your purchase of the leased property at the end of the lease term for 10% of the original purchase amount.

$1 Buyout
The monthly payments associated with this structure are similar to a loan that is fully amortized through a schedule of equal payment amounts.
