Equipment Leasing Types from Liberty Capital Group, Inc.
Structure payments to match cash flow, protect working capital, and choose the right end-of-term outcome—own it, return it, or upgrade.
Terms & Flexible Payment Structures
Equipment leases typically range from 24 to 60 months. Most are monthly, but quarterly and annual schedules are available. We also offer:
- Step Payments: start low and increase each year.
- Delayed/Deferred Payments: use the equipment for 60–120 days before the first payment.
- Seasonal Payments: align payments with your seasonal cash flow.
- Skip Payments: scheduled months with no payment—ideal for seasonal revenue cycles.
- Customized Terms: tailored solutions for unique use-cases.
Match payments to revenue, speed up approvals with “application-only” up to $250,000, and preserve cash for payroll, inventory, and marketing.
Types of Equipment Leases & Agreements
| Type | Best For | How It Works | End-of-Term Options | Key Advantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| True Lease (FMV / “Tax Lease”) | Tech or gear prone to obsolescence | Lessor owns equipment; payments may be deductible | Purchase at FMV, continue leasing, or return | Lower payments vs. finance lease; potential tax write-offs |
| Operating Lease | Short-term use; off-balance-sheet treatment | Term shorter than useful life; lessor takes residual risk | Return, extend, or buy at FMV | Lower payments; potential off-balance-sheet financing (confirm with CPA) |
| Capital / Finance Lease (“$1 Buyout”) | Long-term use; eventual ownership | Payments cover most/all value; token buyout | Own for $1 or small % | Ownership; predictable fixed payments |
| Equipment Financing Agreement (EFA) | Larger purchases; flexible terms | Loan-like structure; sales tax often not financed | Ownership (like a loan) | Simplified approval; no large down payment; depreciation benefits |
| Sale-Leaseback | Freeing cash tied in owned assets | We purchase your equipment and lease it back | End per lease type selected | Immediate working capital without losing use of equipment |
| Skip Payment Lease | Seasonal cash cycles | Planned months with no payment and no penalty | End per lease type selected | Cash-flow relief during slow seasons |
| Deferred Lease (60/90/120-Day) | New revenue-producing assets | One advance payment; first regular due after 60–120 days | FMV or $1 buyout options | Let the equipment “earn its keep” before payments start |
Always confirm tax/accounting treatment with your accountant or CPA.
