SBA 504 and IRB financing
We have expertise in using various Small Business Administration financing programs and Industrial Development and Revenue Bond structures to best suit your company's capital requirements. Using these programs can result in enhanced full-term cash flow due to longer repayment terms and lower interest expense compared with non-program financing.
Vendor program financing
We offer fully customized vendor/manufacturer programs. The benefits of specially tailored financing programs include:
- Increase in sales
- Ability to facilitate equipment upgrades
- Strengthened customer/vendor relationship
Fixed and floating rates
Our financing can be tailored on a variable or fixed interest rate basis. Unlike many finance companies, we can lock in a fixed rate upon credit approval and hold that rate for approved transactions up to 60 days prior to loan/lease commencement. We can also index the rate using various economic indicators.
Synthetic leases
Although the requirements for an operating lease are defined using quantitative methods (per the Financial Accounting Standards Board and for financial statement presentation), the IRS criteria rely on general economic risk-and-reward criteria. We work with you and your tax consultants to structure a synthetic lease so that you may enjoy operating leases for GAAP financial presentations and still claim accelerated depreciation for tax purposes.
Operating leases
If equipment purchases are to be financed using “off-balance sheet” criteria, we can help you structure the transaction to conform with Financial Accounting Standards Board and Internal Revenue Service requirements.
Secured loans and finance leases
We specialize in:
- Providing capital loans and finance leases for acquisitions of new and used equipment
- Creatively restructuring existing equipment financings
These financings are executed either in conjunction with a vendor program and/or with our customers directly.
