FAS 13 is Statement 13 of the FASB. It is a statement involving Accounting for Leases. There are four criteria used to determine if the lease is considered a capital lease.
Direct Lease A leasing package wherein the lessor buys a specified equipment from the supplier and leases the same to the lessee. Sale and Leaseback A leasing package wherein the lessee sells presently-owned equipment to the lessor to convert fixed asset into cash with the lessor allowing the lessee to retain the full use of the property for a fee over a specified period of time.
The key difference between a finance lease and an operating lease is whether the lessor (the legal owner who rents out the assets) or lessee (who uses the asset) takes on the risks of ownership of the leased assets. The classification of a lease (as an operating or finance lease) also affects how it is reported in the accounts. The differentiation is mostly important for accounting , taxation and financial reporting purposes.

An operating lease does not transfer the risks and rewards to you (lessee) at the end of the lease period where a finance lease does. So in affect the operating lease can be thought of as renting the asset while a finance lease can be seen as a finance option to own the asset.

If you�re opening your own business, you are probably looking for the right commercial space. While most people are somewhat familiar with residential leases, commercial lease are completely foreign. When looking for a commercial lease, you will notice a few key differences. The first difference is that commercial leases are typically longer than residential leases. Commercial leases also cover important aspects like parking, repairs to the property, signage, alterations to the property, and liability. While a residential lease may touch on these subjects, they generally do so on a much smaller scale since residents rarely need a great deal of parking and insurance to accommodate their visitors. Before signing a lease, make sure that these terms meet your future needs.
