Before you sign any lease, look into the financial status of the company. Some oil companies that I thought were pretty sound have gone bankrupt. Your lease could end up in the hands of someone you would rather not do business with.
This is sharing the loss. When management of a company feels bankruptcy is coming, they bring all sorts of stuff into inventory. That increases the assets of the company and the supplier becomes just another claim. Thus, the loss is shared by the unsuspecting supplier. Don’t be a victim.
