FINANCING

Through our financing source your lease can be customized and tailored to meet your specific needs. Their experience in financing commercial and municipal leases provide flexibility in meeting your financial requirements.

Leasing Advantages

100% FINANCING - No down payments are required other than an advance payment upon execution of lease.
PRESERVATION OF WORKING CAPITAL - Leasing allows the customer to retain cash for current needs or for other investment purposes.
CONSERVATION OF CREDIT LINES - By leasing equipment, the customer retains their available lines of credit at other financial institutions for emergency needs, current cash flow purposes, investments and other loans.
EQUIPMENT UPGRADE - Leasing has the flexibility to upgrade the equipment at any time during the lease term, providing the freedom from the worry of possible obsolescence.
FIXED RATE FINANCING - Lease payments are based on fixed rates and therefore, not subject to inflation. It is also easier to plan budgets based on fixed monthly payments.
