Leasing provides a customer with the use of equipment for a specified period of time, usually from 12 to 72 months.

It may also provide the customer with the option to purchase the equipment for some price, at some point during the term or at the end of the lease.

Clearlease offers 3 types of equipment leasing:

1. Business lease (0-2 years in business)
2. 2 years in Business or greater
3. "Fresh Start" Businesses that have had problems in the past

Here are other basic lease types:

Capital Lease: This usually provides the customer with a stated purchase option. The purchase option may range from $1.00 to a predetermined percentage of the selling price. A Capital Lease is a finance lease; ownership, from an accounting viewpoint, is with the customer, but may or may not be from a tax viewpoint.

Operating Lease: This provides the customer with a renewal option, a purchase option, or a no purchase option. The purchase option may be a stated amount provided it is not nominal; or it may be a fair market value. An Operating Lease does not provide ownership to the customer from an accounting viewpoint and may or may not from a tax viewpoint.

Each of these programs offers a number of distinct advantages, which should be considered in light of your particular circumstances:

• You can take possession of and put equipment to work very quickly with an equipment acquisition financing or leasing plan, while preserving working capital for other priorities.
  

Sale and Leaseback Arrangements

Sale and leasebacks can help customers access capital from existing assets. The cash can be used to purchase additional equipment, support other business plans or even retire existing debt.

Vendor Financing

The many services that we offer are customized and coordinated for maximum effect. Some of the flexible financing programs we structure may take the form of:

Whether your customer’s financing need is a direct loan or lease, a secured line of credit or other financing arrangement, Clearlease gives your sales force the additional tools to satisfy their sales requirements.
• Private Label Programs – Financing is managed "behind the scenes" by Clearlease, while the documentation remains in your company’s name.
• Portfolio Purchases – We discount or purchase the existing loans or leases that your company or your captive financing institution holds. A program can be structured as a series of portfolio purchases, rather than funding of individual transactions.
