The experienced equipment leasing specialists at Johnson Bank will work to understand your business and your short and long‐term goals. By leasing your company's equipment, you can take advantage of the latest advances in technology for highest productivity, without tying up your valuable cash and credit resources. You will have your equipment in service generating cash flow before your first lease payment. We offer a wide range of leasing solutions that can help resolve your company's operating constraints.
| Operating Lease | Benefits |
|---|---|
| An operating lease is particularly attractive to companies that want to manage their balance sheet debt‐ratios, or want to use equipment for the lease period and return it at lease‐end with no further obligations. An operating lease will also help you avoid a commitment to dated technology. |
|
| Financing Lease | Benefits |
|---|---|
| A financing lease is a full‐payout, non‐cancellable agreement in which the lessee is responsible for maintenance, taxes and insurance. Finance leases are most attractive in cases where the lessee wants the tax benefits of ownership or expects to own the equipment at lease maturity. |
|
| True Lease | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Similar to an operating lease, a true lease means you will have the full use of the equipment without the financial risk of legal ownership. A true lease allows you to expense the monthly payments for tax purposes, and may help you reduce your overall income tax liability. Additionally, if the equipment you need is subject to rapid advancements in technology, such as computers, the true lease could be the best option. |
|
| Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause (TRAC) Lease | Benefits |
|---|---|
| A TRAC lease is a true lease designed to finance licensed, titled motor vehicles (over‐the‐road tractors, trailers, trucks and buses) used for business. The TRAC is a stated amount in the lease agreement representing the estimated value of the equipment at the end of the lease. At lease‐end, the vehicles can be purchased for the TRAC amount or sold to a third party. If the lease‐end resale price is more or less than the TRAC value, you receive the excess or pay the difference. |
|
| Municipal Lease | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Municipal leasing allows municipalities or political sub‐divisions, including: School Districts, Police and Fire Departments, State and County Governments and other tax‐exempt government entities, to acquire essential equipment quickly and conveniently without the need for expensive and time‐consuming bond issues. |
|
| Vendor Leasing | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Vendor leasing is a contract or working relationship between Johnson Bank and an equipment manufacturer or vendor. It provides the vendor with the ability to offer customer financing, which stimulates sales and expedites the sales process. |
|
As a small business owner, you aspire to expand your business, acquire new equipment or purchase a larger building. At Johnson Bank, we have the flexible financing options to help you make your dreams a reality.
| Small Business Line of Credit | Benefits |
|---|---|
| A line of credit is ideal for small businesses that need quick and easy access to cash over short periods of time to help purchase inventory or manage seasonal cash flow fluctuations. |
|
| Term Loans | Benefits |
|---|---|
| We offer a variety of term loans to help your business purchase capital goods and equipment, fund a change in ownership, or consolidate debt. Our expert lenders will structure the loan by evaluating your existing debt obligations and assessing your cash flow. |
|
| Small Business Administration Financing | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Small Business Administration (SBA) loans can be used to start or acquire a business, purchase equipment, and refinance or acquire inventory or working capital. We will partner with you to understand your business, and your short and long‐term goals, to determine if a SBA loan is right for you.
