Financing Structures & Equipment

Asset-Based Loans

We pioneered the asset-based loan, which is a non-recourse, no financial disclosure approach to lending. It is truly unique and unmatched in the banking industry:

  • Application Only – Simple application process
  • Non Recourse – Limited, no personal or no corporate guaranty options available
  • No Financial Disclosure – No financial review or requirements options available

Credit-Based Loans

Our traditional credit program is for owners that desire maximum leverage. In general, this program allows for loan to value amounts up to 100%.

Leases

We offer a variety of leasing products. These include operating leases, finance leases, tax-oriented “true” leases, synthetic leases, and sale/leaseback transactions.
