How will leasing affect my company's cash flow?
Learn More
In a word, positively. That’s because leasing usually offers lower monthly payments than other financing sources. Those lower payments can help you bring revenues and expenses into closer alignment. And because payments are fixed, you can forecast future expenses more accurately and improve your budgeting process.
Is a down payment required?
Learn More
Leasing is generally considered 100% financing, with as little as one advance payment required.
Is there a maximum or a minimum lease amount?
Learn More
The minimum deal that Questor Financial Corp can fund is $2,500. There is no maximum amount.
Is insurance required for the equipment that I am leasing?
Learn More
Generally, insurance is needed on every lease. Most business insurance also covers equipment leases. If you do not have business insurance, our funders will provide you with the option following the closing of your transaction.
Can I get a lease if my company is a "start-up?"
Learn More
Yes, we are able to finance companies that have been in business for less than two years. However, you should expect to pay a slightly higher rate because your company is a higher risk investment than a more established company. Additionally, you will likely be required to provide a personal guarantee.
Can I get a lease if I have had a bankruptcy?
Learn More
We are willing to consider companies that have had a bankruptcy but have been released. Because you will be viewed as a higher risk, you should expect to pay a higher rate and require additional guarantees.
Can I finance the remaining balance if I have placed a down payment on the equipment?
Learn More
Yes, if you choose to make a down payment you can subtract that amount from the total owed on the equipment.
How are lease payments structured?
Learn More
There’s considerable flexibility in payment arrangements. While most leases provide for regular monthly payments, those payments may be made in advance, in arrears, or at irregular intervals. Terms range from 12 to 66 months and can be customized to suit your company’s needs.
What are my options if the Equipment supplier requires a deposit?
Learn More
We can do an Early Commencement of the lease so that we can fund the supplier’s deposit and keep your cash on hand. If you prefer you can pay the deposit and lease the balance, or lease the entire cost of the equipment including the deposit. You will be able to request a deposit reimbursement on your application.
Can I include services such as consulting and training in my lease?
Learn More
Yes, subject to credit approval.
Can I still lease equipment if I have already purchased it?
Learn More
Yes. This is known as a sale-leaseback. Typically, you can do this for equipment that has been purchased in the last 6 months.
