CAN I RETURN THE EQUIPMENT AND STOP PAYMENTS?
No, the lease is non-cancelable. You may return the equipment after
all the lease payments have been made.

longer terms to 84 months for certain equipment.
WHAT IF MY EQUIPMENT BECOMES OUTDATED?
We have a upgrade program to help with protecting you from obsolescence.
WHAT IS THE INTEREST RATE?
Generally, the interest rates are comparable to bank loans and
fluctuate depending on term, equipment, size of request, credit strength
of the lessee. With leasing, the entire payment can be treated as a rental
expense.
CAN I DEFER PAYMENTS?
Yes, we can defer payments at the beginning of the lease if we
are informed up-front or even seasonally deferred where the payments are
skipped same month(s) every year.
CAN I LEASE SOFT COSTS OR SOFTWARE?
Yes, we offer software only leasing and soft costs such as training
and installation may be included as a part of the lease for any type of
equipment.
HOW SOON DO MY PAYMENTS START ONCE THE EQUIPMENT IS DELIVERED?
Rent will be incurred from the day of the equipment arrival.
WILL YOU APPROVE START-UP BUSINESS LESS THAN 2 YEARS?
Oh definitely, we DO APPROVE younger businesses. We base a large
part of our decision on the personal credit of the owners. We do charge
a small premium for those customers so that we maintain the lowest rates
available for everyone.
IS THE LEASE TRANSFERABLE?
Yes, assuming that the new lessee will credit qualify.
ARE THERE TERMS SHORTER THAN 1 YEAR?
Yes, for transactions under $5000.00
DO I HAVE TO PURCHASE ALL MY EQUIPMENT FROM THE SAME DEALER?
No, multiple dealers and multiple types of equipment are acceptable
on the same lease. It is not always the best idea. Consult our representative
for additional perspectives on what works and doesn't work.
WHAT ABOUT LICENSING AND WARRANTIES FOR THIS EQUIPMENT?
The licensing and warranties offered by the dealer and the manufacturer
are passed directly to you.
WHAT ARE YOUR CREDIT QUALIFICATIONS?
We have minimum requirements of a business banking relationship
that maintains a low 4($1000.00) average balance. The business must maintain
paid as agreed status with it's suppliers. We also look for relatively
clean personal credit history on the owners of the business. A less than
perfect credit history is acceptable.
HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?
The credit application approval generally takes less than 24 hours.
The lease agreement is then forwarded to you for your approval.
CAN I PUT MONEY DOWN ON THE LEASE?
For the most part, yes. It is not always the most effective way
to lower a monthly payment.
WHAT IF I ALREADY OWN THE EQUIPMENT, CAN I LEASE IT NOW?
Yes, although it some instances the rate may be higher.
CAN I LEASE USED EQUIPMENT?
Yes, we like to keep the term shorter than 39 months though.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Fill out our credit application, then email it, or fax it, or call
us with the information. We look forward to doing business with you.
