What We Do
Our unique program gives service providers the flexibility to market a total solution by offering a process to finance the equipment component of a managed services agreement.
The solution leverages the credit strength of the customer to finance the equipment, and in many cases the service provider may receive up-front revenue recognition related to the equipment component as well as other financial and operational benefits.
Today, many providers directly obligate themselves to the equipment debt or pay cash, which can have negative financial effects, such as:
- Difficulty in obtaining the equipment financing
- Reduced liquidity
- Slowing of revenue recognition
- Constraining financial ratios and covenants
- Increasing risk by assuming the debt obligation
- Assuming the long-term credit risk of the customer
- Prolonging ROI

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.
