Farm Credit Leasing

No Down Payment

Typically, down payments aren’t necessary. Simply pay the first payment in advance. Often, leasing can provide 100% financing.

Maximize Tax Benefits

For tax purposes, true leases can be treated as a business expense and the entire lease payment may be tax deductible. Lease purchase programs provide tax benefits that mirror those for owned equipment, such as depreciation and other eligible deductions.

Control Your Cash Flow

Fixed rates and flexible payment schedules allow matching payments to cash flow and the profits generated by the leased equipment.  Lease payments can be tailored to the cash flow of your business. Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual, as well as seasonal, and step up or step down payments are available.

Preserve Capital

Maintain financial flexibility and stability by preserving working capital. Leasing can provide 100% financing, including soft costs, with no down payment required, so you can keep more cash on hand. Benefit from fixed rate financing and mitigate rising rates in the future. Leasing can also help manage loan covenants and be another source of financing.

Estate Planning Tool

Leasing can effectively help transition ownership of an asset to the next generation at the end of the lease term.
