Lease Finance Group has been offering a low cost and uncomplicated way for state and local
governments, their agencies, and other political subdivisions/taxing districts to finance equipment and capital projects since 1985. Public entities are turning to qualified tax-exempt lease purchase financing because it enables them to acquire the equipment they need without resorting to complex and time consuming revenue raising procedures.

Tax-exempt lease purchase financing is a proven, cost-effective alternative to debt financing. It can also be offered to a unqualified organization, such as a not-for-profit local hospital, affiliated with a qualified public entity via a conduit tax-exempt lease purchase finance program.

Consider the benefits of the Lease Finance Group approach:

Cost-effective ~

Lease purchase financing may be provided at low tax-exempt rates to schools and governmental entities.

Current expenditure~

In most circumstances, qualified tax-exempt lease purchase financing does not constitute indebtedness of the Lessee for state law purposes and is considered a current expense.

Minimal costs~

Tax-exempt lease purchase financing is often less expensive when compared to the aggregate cost inclusive of issuance fees involved with bonding.

Equitable ~

Lease purchase financing allows the public entity to spread its acquisition costs over several fiscal years. It is provided under terms that correspond with the economic useful life of the asset. Therefore, you will not be paying debt service on an asset that is no longer in use.

Total solution financing~

Tax-exempt lease purchase financing offers 100 percent financing and is typically more flexible with respect to payment structure than traditional bond financing.

Conserves working capital~

Effective government demands state of the art technology and equipment. Lease financing at low tax-exempt rates enables the acquisition of needed technology and equipment without onerous demands on your user fees and financial resources.

Versatile ~

In many instances, lease financing can be used for capital projects, or even as a source of working capital by funding existing debt and/or other leases.
