Compare Traditional Lease Financing versus PNC Managed Service Solutions
Traditional Lease Financing
The lease transaction for the equipment is separate from the service contract and the service provider is obligated to the debt, regardless of any cancellations or breach of the service contract. The lessor would purchase the equipment and the service provider would be the lessee.
PNC Equipment Finance's Managed Service Solutions
The service provider and PNC enter into a financing arrangement. PNC will review the terms between the service provider and the customer and may request additional terms to be included. The service provider is not obligated to the credit risk in the contract, but may have an agreed upon level of obligation if the contract is terminated due to a breach in service.
In order to illustrate the value of PNC Equipment Finance's managed services, a comparison of traditional lease financing versus the MSS solution is provided below.
