Lease/Purchase financing is designed to supplement rather than replace bond
financing. School districts, county and state governments, and municipal entities
need to provide quality services to their constituents with limited budget
dollars. These organizations have ongoing and ever-growing equipment needs.
Advantages:
- No Debt Created
- - Voter approval generally isn't needed for tax-exempt leasing, which
provides a more efficient funding process at competitive rates.
- Matching Cost with Revenue
- - Tax-exempt leasing means you can spread equipment costs over the lease
retaining cash reserves for other projects.
- Flexibility
- - We'll build a customized lease structure to suit your unique timetable and
requirements, including monthly, quarterly, or annual payment options to
match the economic life of the equipment.
- No Cash Down Payment
- - 100% financing means your lease agreement can include not just equipment
but also professional services, software, and more.
- Quick Turnaround
- - Get the technology you need immediately, without waiting for bond issue
results or future capital budget approvals, and pay for it as it's used - not before.
- Operating Leases
- - With tax-exempt leasing, a non-appropriation clause means you can terminate at the
end of a fiscal year if funds aren't approved by your governing body despite your best
efforts to obtain continued funding. The lease payments come out of your appropriated
operating budget and not your capital budget.
