Lease-Financing Program

We know the world’s biggest employers face daunting challenges posed by real estate decisions. Let our lease-financing program put you at ease.

Purpose
Our lease-financing tool can save you money by providing sales tax exemptions on construction materials, and take the headache out of real estate transactions.

Here’s how it works:
We issue bonds on your behalf to construct a new facility built to your specifications, and we lease it back to your company. Typical borrowers under lease transactions include large, credit-worthy clients (privately owned or publicly traded) who support large investments.

Take a look at some of the potential benefits our lease-financing clients enjoy:
  • Local and state sales tax exemptions on construction materials
  • Accounting advantages – debt off balance sheet
  • Federal tax advantages through depreciation
  • Flexibility through amortizing the debt or lease-purchase options

The tax advantages, lease options and flexible terms, such as fixed rates for up to 20 years, allow significant breathing room for your company to get down to the business of doing business, rather than haggling with real estate headaches.

For more information on how our lease financing program can help you and to see if you qualify for this innovative financing tool, email Jean Carter Ryan or call her at 614.225.6068.
