Sejarah Kalender Hijriyah


Kalender Hijriyah atau Kalender Islam (bahasa Arab: التقويم الهجريat-taqwim al-hijri), adalah kalender yang digunakan oleh umat Islam, termasuk dalam menentukan tanggal atau bulan yang berkaitan dengan ibadah, atau hari-hari penting lainnya. Kalender ini dinamakan Kalender Hijriyah, karena pada tahun pertama kalender ini adalah tahun dimana terjadi peristiwa Hijrah-nya Nabi Muhammad dari Makkah ke Madinah, yakni pada tahun 622 M. Di beberapa negara yang berpenduduk mayoritas Islam, Kalender Hijriyah juga digunakan sebagai sistem penanggalan sehari-hari. Kalender Islam menggunakan peredaran bulan sebagai acuannya, berbeda dengan kalender biasa (kalender Masehi) yang menggunakan peredaran Matahari.
Penentuan dimulainya sebuah hari/tanggal pada Kalender Hijriyah berbeda dengan pada Kalender Masehi. Pada sistem Kalender Masehi, sebuah hari/tanggal dimulai pada pukul 00.00 waktu setempat. Namun pada sistem Kalender Hijriah, sebuah hari/tanggal dimulai ketika terbenamnya Matahari di tempat tersebut.
Kalender Hijriyah dibangun berdasarkan rata-rata silkus sinodik bulan kalender lunar (qomariyah), memiliki 12 bulan dalam setahun. Dengan menggunakan siklus sinodik bulan, bilangan hari dalam satu tahunnya adalah (12 x 29,53059 hari = 354,36708 hari).Hal inilah yang menjelaskan 1 tahun Kalender Hijriah lebih pendek sekitar 11 hari dibanding dengan 1 tahun Kalender Masehi.
Faktanya, siklus sinodik bulan bervariasi. Jumlah hari dalam satu bulan dalam Kalender Hijriah bergantung pada posisi bulan, bumi dan Matahari. Usia bulan yang mencapai 30 hari bersesuaian dengan terjadinya bulan baru (new moon) di titik apooge, yaitu jarak terjauh antara bulan dan bumi, dan pada saat yang bersamaan, bumi berada pada jarak terdekatnya dengan Matahari (perihelion). Sementara itu, satu bulan yang berlangsung 29 hari bertepatan dengan saat terjadinya bulan baru di perige (jarak terdekat bulan dengan bumi) dengan bumi berada di titik terjauhnya dari Matahari (aphelion). Dari sini terlihat bahwa usia bulan tidak tetap melainkan berubah-ubah (29 - 30 hari) sesuai dengan kedudukan ketiga benda langit tersebut (BulanBumi dan Matahari).
Penentuan awal bulan (new moon) ditandai dengan munculnya penampakan (visibilitas) Bulan Sabit pertama kali (hilal) setelah bulan baru (konjungsi atau ijtimak). Pada fase ini, Bulan terbenam sesaat setelah terbenamnya Matahari, sehingga posisi hilal berada di ufuk barat. Jika hilal tidak dapat terlihat pada hari ke-29, maka jumlah hari pada bulan tersebut dibulatkan menjadi 30 hari. Tidak ada aturan khusus bulan-bulan mana saja yang memiliki 29 hari, dan mana yang memiliki 30 hari. Semuanya tergantung pada penampakan hilal.
Penetapan kalender Hijriyah dilakukan pada jaman Khalifah Umar bin Khatab, yang menetapkan peristiwa hijrahnya Rasulullah saw dari Mekah ke Madinah. Kalender Hijriyah juga terdiri dari 12 bulan, dengan jumlah hari berkisar 29-30 hari. Penetapan 12 bulan ini sesuai dengan firman Allah Subhana Wata'ala: ”Sesungguhnya bilangan bulan pada sisi Allah ialah dua belas bulan, dalam ketetapan Allah di waktu Dia menciptakan langit dan bumi, di antaranya empat bulan haram. Itulah (ketetapan) agama yang lurus, maka janganlah kamu menganiaya diri kamu dalam bulan yang empat itu, dan perangilah kaum musyrikin itu semuanya sebagaimana mereka pun memerangi kamu semuanya; dan ketahuilah bahwasanya Allah beserta orang-orang yang bertakwa.” (QS : At Taubah(9):36). Sebelumnya, orang Arab pra-kerasulan Rasulullah Muhammad SAW telah menggunakan bulan-bulan dalam kalender hijriyah ini. Hanya saja mereka tidak menetapkan ini tahun berapa, tetapi tahun apa. Misalnya saja kita mengetahui bahwa kelahiran Rasulullah SAW adalah pada tahun gajah.Abu Musa Al-Asyári sebagai salah satu gubernur di zaman Khalifah Umar r.a. menulis surat kepada Amirul Mukminin yang isinya menanyakan surat-surat dari khalifah yang tidak ada tahunnya, hanya tanggal dan bulan saja, sehingga membingungkan. Khalifah Umar lalu mengumpulkan beberapa sahabat senior waktu itu. Mereka adalah Utsman bin Affan r.a., Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a., Abdurrahman bin Auf r.a., Sa’ad bin Abi Waqqas r.a., Zubair bin Awwam r.a., dan Thalhan bin Ubaidillah r.a. Mereka bermusyawarah mengenai kalender Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan berdasarkan milad Rasulullah saw. Ada juga yang mengusulkan berdasarkan pengangkatan Muhammad saw menjadi Rasul. Dan yang diterima adalah usul dari Ali bin Abi Thalib r.a. yaitu berdasarkan momentum hijrah Rasulullah SAW dari Makkah ke Yatstrib (Madinah). Maka semuanya setuju dengan usulan Ali r.a. dan ditetapkan bahwa tahun pertama dalam kalender Islam adalah pada masa hijrahnya Rasulullah saw. Sedangkan nama-nama bulan dalam kalender hijriyah ini diambil dari nama-nama bulan yang telah ada dan berlaku pada masa itu di wilayah Arab.

Penentuan kapan dimulainya tahun 1 Hijriah dilakukan 6 tahun setelah wafatnya Nabi Muhammad. Namun demikian, sistem yang mendasari Kalender Hijriah telah ada sejak zaman pra-Islam, dan sistem ini direvisi pada tahun ke-9 periode Madinah.
Sebelum datangnya Islam, di tanah Arab dikenal sistem kalender berbasis campuran antara Bulan (komariyah) maupun Matahari (syamsiyah). Peredaran bulan digunakan, dan untuk mensinkronkan dengan musim dilakukan penambahan jumlah hari (interkalasi).
Pada waktu itu, belum dikenal penomoran tahun. Sebuah tahun dikenal dengan nama peristiwa yang cukup penting pada tahun tersebut. Misalnya, tahun dimana Muhammad lahir, dikenal dengan sebutan "Tahun Gajah", karena pada waktu itu, terjadi penyerbuan Ka'bah di Mekkah oleh pasukan gajah yang dipimpin oleh Abrahah, Gubernur Yaman (salah satu provinsi Kerajaan Aksum, kini termasuk wilayah Ethiopia).
Pada era kenabian Muhammad, sistem penanggalan pra-Islam digunakan. Pada tahun ke-9 setelah Hijrah, turun ayat 36-37 Surat At-Taubah, yang melarang menambahkan hari (interkalasi) pada sistem penanggalan.
Setelah wafatnya Nabi Muhammad, diusulkan kapan dimulainya Tahun 1 Kalender Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan adalah tahun kelahiran Muhammad sebagai awal patokan penanggalan Islam. Ada yang mengusulkan pula awal patokan penanggalan Islam adalah tahun wafatnya Nabi Muhammad.
Akhirnya, pada tahun 638 M (17 H), khalifah Umar bin Khatab menetapkan awal patokan penanggalan Islam adalah tahun dimana hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad dari Mekkah ke Madinah. Penentuan awal patokan ini dilakukan setelah menghilangkan seluruh bulan-bulan tambahan (interkalasi) dalam periode 9 tahun. Tanggal 1 Muharam Tahun 1 Hijriah bertepatan dengan tanggal 16 Juli 622, dan tanggal ini bukan berarti tanggal hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad. Peristiwa hijrahnya Nabi Muhammad terjadi bulan September 622. Dokumen tertua yang menggunakan sistem Kalender Hijriah adalah papirus di Mesir pada tahun 22 H, PERF 558. sumber

Music Therapy for Autistic Patients

Many people listen to music for entertainment, and many people play musical instruments in many parts of the world. Interestingly, music is embraced by all cultures, some dating to the ancient times. Music has the power to touch people of all cultures, races, religions, and nationalities, communicating with the masses on a deeper level. For some time now, music therapy has been successfully used to improve the functionality of people who are suffering from a broad range of emotional or cognitive problems. Music therapists have found this method to be especially effective with autistic patients of all ages. 

At this point, it's important to differentiate the difference between music therapy and music instruction. Music instruction refers to the study of music or music lessons where a person learns to play a musical instrument. Well, it can be argued that playing a musical instrument can be therapeutic but it's not the scope of music therapy. In music therapy, the therapist uses music to achieve certain individualized goals with the patient. 

What Can Music Therapy Do For Autistic Patients? 

On the most basic level, music therapy can help to improve the skills of autistic patients such as self-reliance, motor or perceptual skills, cognition, behavior, sensory issues, social skills, and communication skills. By enhancing these skills, autistic patients can integrate more easily into society. At the same time, they will also grow in confidence and learn to be more self-sufficient. To build trust and develop personal connections, it's the challenge of the music therapist to strike a chord with the autistic patient through music experiences. Due to nature of music which is both engaging and affecting, it's perfectly suited to be used as a tool to stimulate a particular response. For some reason, music has a profound effect of autistic patients so it's quite normal for them to respond positively to music therapy. Patients who are suffering from sensory aversions may find music therapy to be effective in helping them to handle auditory processing differences and sound sensibilities. 

How Do Music Therapists Work with Autistic Patients? 

Working with small groups or individuals, music therapists use a range of music and techniques to provide the right treatment to autistic patients. To develop an effective treatment strategy, the music therapist needs to analyze the autistic patient's needs and strengths. The goals and objectives of the treatments have to be laid out so that the progress of the patients can be monitored. 

A music therapist can use spontaneous musical improvisation to encourage the autistic patients to express themselves, thereby, improving their communication and social skills. For instance, the music therapist may play the guitar or even sing as the patient produces sounds. This is an effective way to give support to the patients so that they are confident enough to create their own musical language. The patient will learn the joys of two-way communication and also tap into a wider spectrum of emotions. A professional music therapist will know how to formulate developmental plans to maximize the potential of the patient.

What You Can Do to Find Your Passion

In order to find your passion, you have to undergo certain things. They may not necessarily be the first things that you think of doing, but do them anyway, as the results will always be spectacular. After all, once you discover what it is you were really meant to do in life, and once you actually fulfill your destiny, you will feel absolutely amazing, and wouldn't you want that? Here then are some tips to start you off.

1. Find your passion by looking at great art.
Art is the imitation of life, but sometimes life imitates art as well. A source of inspiration that a lot of people are inspired by is art. There are artists who didn't know that they were artists until they saw a Picasso painting. Beauty has a way of stirring the soul. Sometimes the presence of great art causes us to realize that we want to create and be in the presence of divine art. Visit museums and other art galleries so that you may fulfill your destiny to become a great artist.
2. Find your passion by volunteering for a cause.
One of the hindrances to passion is a lack of awareness. How can you be passionate about something, if you don't know what there is to be passionate about? One way to discover your true calling is to dabble in what other people are passionate about. Why are environmentalists passionate about their cause? Why are social activists willing to be arrested for the sake of freedom of speech? Maybe what you need to do to fulfill your destiny is to join a cause that you feel strongly about.

3. Find your passion by spending time with children.
Spending time with children can help you discover your passion. Children are pure and unbiased. They have the untainted wisdom of innocence. They are not concerned with the usual limitations we impose upon ourselves. Sometimes while singing to a child, she will ask you, "Why aren't you a singer?" And you too might wonder why. Maybe what you need to fulfill your destiny is encouragement from someone who believes in a world where dreams can come true.

4. Find your passion by being interested in what your friends are passionate about.
Birds of the same feather flock together. We are friends with particular people because we have something in common with them. When what you have in common with your friends is not immediately evident, try to dig deeper. Maybe your friend is involved in a cause, a career, or a business that you didn't know you'd be interested in. Give it a try. It might turn out to be something you're really good at. Fulfill your destiny by being open to trying new things.

5. Find your passion by ignoring social standards. 
We all want to passionate about something we can tell our friends about. People who are passionate about science, law, business, or medicine are admired by society. But what if you're not passionate about any of that? What if what you're really interested in are "board games?" It takes a lot of honesty for an individual to admit that he's not interested in what is society thinks he should be passionate about. However, if you want to fulfill your destiny, you have to pursue what makes you happy and not what everyone thinks you should pursue.

Discovering your passion will definitely open a lot of doors for you, doors that you never even knew existed before then. If you thought that you already had everything figured out in your life, once you actually find your true passion, you'll realize that there is so much more that you do not know and have not experienced. So go on and try to fulfill your destiny already! You most certainly deserve to!

Starvation is a usual drastic diet plan that people use even though it can cause them to feel very exhausted. You may just not eat breakfast or lunch, or maybe both meals. In your mind, you tell yourself that you're not famished even though your stomach is grumbling like crazy, screaming I want to be fed!. However, after a short while your body learns to adapt. The less you eat, the more your body becomes afraid that it won't have sufficient food so it adjusts your metabolism, slowing it down to the extent that you are scarcely burning any fat during the day. When you go back to your typical eating habits again, your metabolism will remain slower resulting in your easily storing calories, causing you to speedily gain more fat.

Anorexia can cause a weaker immune system, hair loss and even demise. Adolescents usually experiment with starvation diets but, alas, when you become fixed on starving yourself, you can develop anorexia and do irreversible damage to your health.

They are not scared of food as anorexics do, but they feel guilt-ridden after overindulging on large amounts of food and so they throw it back up. In comparison to anorexia and starvation where it is obvious that the person is losing weight, bulimia is difficult to detect because the weight doesn't fluctuate widely. Vomiting the food you've consumed is dangerous for your body. Your heart and other vital body parts can be gravely harmed. You can end up having stomach ulcers because of it. Your teeth and esophagus may also be ruined by the stomach acid. The acid can likewise cause damage to your throat. You can badly damage your body by throwing up your food.

For best results, choose healthy foods and eat reasonably. Ingest smaller food portions and avoid eating unhealthy foods. You can get rid of the extra pounds safely and efficiently without falling back on drastic and unsafe measures.

Roy Jones Jr. returns to Russia to rap


It was boxing, which has given him inspiration to write rap songs, multiple champion Roy Jones Jr. told RT ahead of his Russian musical tour.
When it comes to picking the best pound-for-pound boxer of all time, Roy Jones Jr. is one of the hot favorites.
The American is the ten-time belt holder in four divisions, named fighter of the decade in the 1990's and also an all-round entertainer and successful music artist.
Jones made his debut in Moscow at the age of 42, when he lost by knock-out to current WBA ‘regular’ cruiserweight champion Denis Lebedev.
But despite the defeat, he earned himself many followers in the country. 

“I love the fans and I love the support I get in Russia,”
 Jones told RT. “Having the support that I get… there are so many people that love me here and all that I do. So I try to share all of myself with them. I do basketball; I do the music; I do boxing. I try to share everything that I do with the Russian public, because they are so receptive of me."
Roy returned to a warm reception from the Russian crowd as he began his tour of the country in Moscow, performing his rap songs, making guest appearances, spending time with fans and talking about the sport that inspired his lyrics.

“I got most of my inspiration from when I would be getting ready for a fight,”
 he explained. “Certain songs would motivate me to win, to want to fight. So then I started coming up with these ideas about the people I was fighting. And that would make me want to think of a song to write to just get my mind right coming into the fight, and that’s what kind of got me started.”
It's safe to say that no one in Russia will forget about Jones any time soon, either as a singer or as a boxer, while there could be fewer fighters from his own country that could soon fill his shoes.

“The decline [in American] boxing starts from the amateur level because more guys are doing mixed martial arts now than just regular boxing,”
 the 43-year-old stressed. “So you don’t get the kids in the gym learning to box, like they did back in the old days. In the old days … I started at ten years old and came up boxing. It’s hard to beat me at boxing because that’s what I did my whole life.”
During his impressive career, Jones has held 63 bouts, winning 55 of them and collecting 40 knockouts.

Ways To Prevent Gout


Danger of protein imbalance

In animals given incomplete proteins or diets lacking any of the essential amino acids, the production of uric acid increases. Similarly, if separate amino acids are fed and too much of some and too little of others allowed, again the blood uric acid soars. The amino acids from the proteins we eat become the building blocks of which body tissues are made, but it now appears I that all ten of the amino acids the body cannot synthesize must be available at the same time and in roughly the proportion found in human tissues.

When the most common amino acid, glycine, is radio actively labeled and fed to animals or humans, it can be recovered from the blood and urine as uric acid. Further- more, persons with gout change labeled glycine into uric acid much more quickly than do normal individuals. This change appears to be the means by which the body rids itself of a waste product when many incomplete proteins have been eaten. Any person with gout, therefore, should be particularly careful to obtain complete proteins; and gelatin, which lacks several essential amino acids but supplies excessive amounts of glycine, should be strictly avoided.

During periods of quiescence, the body produces much smaller quantities of uric acid. At such times, however, large amounts of uric acid have been injected into gouty persons without bringing on an attack. One reason appears to be that normally much of the uric acid produced passes into the intestine and is utilized by bacteria, but the amount of uric acid disposed of in this manner depends on the bacterial growth. If the bacteria are destroyed by oral antibiotics, the amount of uric acid in the blood immediately increases.

Such a finding indicates that the individuals with gout should insure the growth of intestinal bacteria by the generous use of yogurt and/or acidophil us milk or culture.

Role of intestinal bacteria

During periods of quiescence, the body produces much smaller quantities of uric acid. At such times, however, large amounts of uric acid have been injected into gouty persons without bringing on an attack. One reason appears to be that normally much of the uric acid produced passes into the intestine and is utilized by bacteria, but the amount of uric acid disposed of in this manner depends on the bacterial growth. If the bacteria are destroyed by oral antibiotics, the amount of uric acid in the blood immediately increases.

Such a finding indicates that the individuals with gout should insure the growth of intestinal bacteria by the generous use of yogurt and/or acidophil us milk or culture.

Psychosomatic causes

Psychological stresses are far more frequently the cause of gout than is generally recognized. Unfortunately physicians frequently overlook psychosomatic diseases or lack knowledge of them. 

Men are instinctively the fighters of the race and are often sufficiently angered to fight- sometimes unconsciously - but are in situations where they dare not. The gout is more prevalent in men than in women, and why, since fighting and kicking are done with hands and feet, it more often afflicts the extremities than other parts of the body. When such persons are angered, they should work out on a punching bag or hurriedly arrange to play football before the stress of their emotions has had time to cause the destruction of body proteins.

Diet for gout

Unfortunately, the diet customarily recommended for gout completely ignores the needs of stress. Its emphasis is on restricting purines, the substances in cell nuclei from which uric acid is formed; hence it is made up of foods which contain few cells. Because liver, yeast, wheat germ, and whole-grain breads and cereals are forbidden, such a diet is extremely deficient in B vitamins and almost devoid of vitamin E and pantothenic acid. Furthermore, medical investigators--though not practitioners--now agree that the tiny amount of uric acid in foods is insignificant; and that the uric acid which causes gout is formed in the body from the breakdown of tissue proteins and has never been proved to come from foods.

Not only do stress and the pain of gout quickly exhaust the adrenals, but also inflammation (caused by the uric-acid crystals) invariably indicates that too little cortisone is being produced. Giving cortisone for this disease "has proved to be of great value." The dietary approach, therefore, must be to help the adrenals produce cortisone by eating large amounts of liver, yeast, wheat germ, yogurt or acidophilus, and green leafy vegetables; and by taking the anti-stress formula around the clock during the acute stage. Usually such a diet brings marked improvement in two or three days. Persons fearful of deviating from a low-purine diet should at least obtain generous supplements of all vitamins, especially of vitamin E and the B group.

A urine made alkaline by a high intake of fruits, vegetables, and juices, particularly orange juice, helps to keep the uric-acid crystals in solution and to facilitate their excretion. During gout attacks 3 quarts of liquid daily are usually recommended to carry off the uric-acid crystals, but recovery is more rapid if juices and milk are drunk instead of water. Although any food can be eaten provided it builds health, incomplete proteins such as corn, dry beans, lentils, and cereals should be taken only with milk, eggs, cheese, and/or meats, to prevent an amino-acid imbalance.

If the person who has once had gout keeps his diet unusually adequate, further attacks can often be prevented. He should eliminate as much stress from his life as possible, but, like an individual subject to ulcers, he would probably be wise to keep vitamin C and pantothenic acid with him at all times and to take them with protein every two or three hours during periods when he is emotionally upset.

Typically this means the software package holds your subject material offered, opens up the next website you want to submit to, and enters your subject material for you... rushing up the method. Nevertheless, at this stage the automation stops and you just take over, generating any modifications, customizing to suit the internet site alone, completing any "captcha's"... leaving a human footprint, in other phrases... and then transferring on to the subsequent web site. You're utilizing content distribution software to maximize your traffic generation efforts... but you are undertaking it in a way that genuinely just organizes your processes... streamlines them... and is appropriate to Google and the internet sites you are submitting to because you are still personally involved with each and every submission on some amount.

Is It Possible For You To Become A Leader In Network Marketing?


The Network Marketing Industry is growing worldwide at a very accelerated pace right now. In the last few years, I managed to analyze what most people objections were. Living in an eastern-european country, I have dealt with more scepticism that you could ever imagine and yet I've never felt discouraged in any way.

I've seriously wondered why many people consider network marketing a scam. I've tried to look at things from their point of view and came up with the three most concerning scenarios:

1. "Network Marketing only wants to rip people off!"
Well, what can I say to that? This is what lazybones say and you can't do anything about that... they just know "what the catch is"! You can try to make them understand the awesome potential all day and night, they are not going to believe in anything that involves months or years of personal development. Pyramid, scam, end of story!

2. "The only persons that are big earners in the network marketing industry have been there since the beginning!"
Believe it or not, I personally know an MLM distributor that recently sponsored 117 people in one day! I'm talking about viral exposure on the internet and an extraordinary leader, but this proves that no matter what moment you choose to get into a network marketing business, there is absolutely nothing that can stand in your way if you put heart and passion into it.

3. "The Network Marketing Industry is uncertain and where is the monthly salary after all?"
This is the "9 to 5" employee point of view. No action that implies uncertainity is ever worth-taking. You can instantly tell that these people have never read Robert Kiyosaki's "Cashflow Quadrant" and have no intent to change their lifestyle. The truth is that to be successful you have to be extremely focused and to plan your daily actions very carefully, and that is a thing procrastionators will never do.

It all comes from the way you are programming your mind. If you don't visualize your future as you want it to be, if you don't write down what you hope to achieve, if you don't set your short-term and long-term goals, nothing's going to happen.

Think positive and act right now! Network marketing is the ideal way to live a prosperous life and it doesn't take that much to get on the right path. All it takes is commitment and finding one good mentor who can inspire you to really get things going. Life transformation is just a matter of making a few subtle changes!

Tips to Improve Your Decision-Making Skills as an Entrepreneur

Business culture is driven by the network in which it is embedded. If you want to cultivate a culture of success and confidence, then you must be sure that you exude confidence and success and inspire it in others.

Tip #2 - Don't Hang Your Hat on Delusional Visions of Overnight Success

While it can be comforting to dream big about your future, having delusions about your success is purely detrimental. It will cause you to set unreasonable goals and attempt to live up to unrealistic expectations.

Tip #3 - Affirm Yourself and Your Choices

In business, you will have to make many difficult decisions. Instead of constantly second-guessing your decisions, take time to affirm your choices periodically, so that you do become overwhelmed by self-doubt.

Tip #4 - Find Time to Give Yourself a Break

Chance of getting approved is significantly reduced if negative information about your firm or its financials arises after your submission. Factors that affect your approval are your time in business, your ability to have sourced financing in the past - i.e. other lessors, banks, etc. Other key areas of focus are trade references and the ability of the owners to demonstrate they run their personal lives in a fiscally responsible manner also. This is usually accomplished by the lessor drawing a credit bureau report. On transactions over 50,000.00$, as a general rule financial statements are required, and areas of focus will be your overall balance sheet health and the ability to generate positive cash flow to repay the lease .

Lets move on to rate, we are never under surprised with how much our clients focus solely on rate and their ability to drive down the lessors yield . In Canada leasing equipment is very competitive, and all we can say is that if you have presented your financials properly the market will ensure you have a competitive rate. Naturally you can spend all the time in the world securing a ' better deal ', but consider management time and total savings. A quick example: If you leased a 75k piece of production equipment and were quoted a rate of 10.25% and you spent a lot of time in sourcing another quote, re submitting your financials to a new firm, etc , and got a rate of 10.00% you would be saving twenty dollars a month. We'll let you decide the value of your time.

We have covered off credit approval and rates, Documentation are important also. You should be prepared to provide a proper invoice or quote to the lessor, as well as a certificate of insurance. The equipment lease and your acceptance of delivery are key to the lease commencement.

The type of lease you choose and your analysis of the lease versus buy decision is also a key area of focus. Look at your cash flow Vis Vis payments you will make on a lease versus a loan basis. As a general rule leasing tends to be more expensive, but is easier to obtain and is less of a drain on your cash flow. 

Two is the magic number. There are two types of leases you should inquire about, a full payout capital lease, as well as an operating lease where use of the asset is more important than owning the asset.

Your overall lease financing decision should be focused on a very simple question - namely:
- is the asset acquisition important to your business profitability and productivity. If new assets and proper financing position your business for competitiveness you have made the right financing decision. 

We have covered off 5 key areas in the selection of a leasing company in the equipment finance area. If you find the information and the challenge overwhelming speak to a trusted, credible and experienced business financing advisor who will help you achieve lease financing that meets your goals.
