If credit is for a repeat customer simply forward a vendor quote and advise us if any information has changed. We’ll take care of the credit application for the client.

Should we require more information to complete the credit approval, we will contact the customer directly to obtain supporting data.

An email will be issued copying the customer and the vendor advising of the credit decision, typically within 4 hours.

Your Questor representative will contact the client to verify details and to answer any questions they may have before issuing lease documents via email.

After the customer signs the required documentation, instructions to invoice are emailed, again to all parties, and the vendor delivers and/or installs the equipment.

Upon receipt of the vendor's invoice, Questor verifies delivery and submits the lease for funding. Vendor funds are typically transferred by electronic payment and are usually processed within 24 hours of confirmation of delivery.

After booking, the customer receives a welcome letter detailing the lease number and specifics for their records.

End of Term
Options

A Stretch Lease gives an early purchase option usually within 3 to 6 months prior to the termination of the lease. The option amount is guaranteed, usually at 10% of the original equipment value. If you do not wish to exercise your early option, the lease continues into the stretch period at which time you will decide whether to purchase the equipment for FMV or return it. Questor's customer service team does email our customers reminders of their pending end of lease options free of charge as a convenient service.

If your lease contains an FMV purchase option, you can purchase the equipment at the end of the term or you may return it. The purchase price is the current fair market value which is determined by the lender.

A $10.00 end purchase option gives you the opportunity to purchase the equipment for $10.00 plus applicable taxes at the end of the lease term.
