Municipal Lease-Purchase
We offer a variety of custom financing packages to municipalities. Benefits of our Municipal Lease-Purchase packages include:
- Flexible repayment terms structured to fit your operating budget.
- Hybrid tax-exempt structure with features similar to both a loan and a lease.
- Like a loan: customer has title to asset during term and gains free & clear ownership of asset at end of term.
- Like a lease: financing is subject to annual renewal or termination.
- Legally not a “debt” from a constitutional perspective, because no multi-year obligation is created.
- Treated as a capital lease under GAAP.
