How To Generate Passive Income Through Asset Leasing?

Have you ever envisioned a day in your life where you didn’t have to work for the money you earn? It’s fair to say that we have all embarked on this fanciful train of thought. But can you actually make money without working for it? Believe it or not! Most people do it every day. 

What Is Passive Income?

Making money with little to no effort or on autopilot is called passive income and it puts you on the fast track to financial independence. If it sounds too good to be true then there is in fact a catch! Passive income doesn’t exactly materialise on its own. Passive income is broadly classified into two categories - the income you earn from your investments and the income you earn from a side hustle or an additional job. In this blog, we will talk about the former.

The first step to accessing passive income via investments is buying, creating, or contributing to assets that produce cash flow. If all goes as planned, your reward for that initial investment is an ongoing stream of income you can enjoy over time.

Benefits of Passive Income

If financial independence is what you seek then it is imperative that you start generating passive income. Limiting your earning potential by sticking to a single source of income can prevent you from saving more, splurging more, and most importantly generating more wealth.

In a single income source scenario, your earning potential is limited by various factors such as your performance, the hours you put in, your health, your age, promotions, and additional work-related policies. If any of these aforementioned factors fail, your paycheck dives too.

Passive income doesn't have any of these limitations. You can earn passive income at any age and in any health condition. A larger stream of passive income makes you less dependent on your paycheck. Passive income can fund big financial goals, like retirement, or smaller ones, like debt repayment.

Investing To Generate Passive Income

If you are looking to generate passive income by investing your savings then there are a few things you should keep in mind.

• It is not a “get-rich-quick" scheme – With a passive income, you can earn money without much active work, but you are not getting something for nothing. You still need to put in investments upfront, and this will generate income, produce dividends, interest, or appreciate in value, providing you with financial security over time.
• You still need to do some additional labour – Even though most of your work and investment will be done at the start, you may still need to do some additional labour. This might involve keeping your product updated, your rental property well-maintained, or check on your stocks and investments, in order to keep the passive income flowing.
• Passive income is taxable – While this kind of income is taxed differently from an active income (like your salary), it is going to be subject to taxes.

So, let's circle back to understanding how you can generate passive income via asset leasing. 

What Is Asset Leasing?

Leasing involves the renting of movable or immovable assets for a specified period. It is an agreement between a lender, the lessor, and a borrower, the lessee.

The owner of the asset, typically an individual or a company, leases it to the borrower for a specific period and at a certain cost. The lessee is provided with exclusive use of the asset in exchange for periodic payments throughout the agreed-upon lease term. 

Features of Asset Leasing 

• Offers potentially higher returns than fixed deposits and other traditional investments
• Lower investment risk than equity and other alternative investments
• Provides investors with access to non-market linked investments that may not be available through conventional means
• Investors can benefit from higher yields due to reduced risks and increased liquidity
• Asset leasing offers flexibility as the investment can be tailored to suit individual investor needs
• Investors can defer taxes until they receive payments from the leased asset
• It involves lower upfront costs and greater return on investment over time

Asset leasing can be an attractive investment approach for those seeking to generate passive income and diversify their portfolios. With asset leasing, investors have the opportunity to earn a fixed income while minimising risk and capital outlay.

Leasing offers investments backed by real assets, such as equipment or property. It provides a secure form of collateral which is often more reliable than other forms of investing. In addition, the investor can avoid tying up large amounts of capital since most leases are based on the asset's value rather than its full purchase price.
