We offer offers several types of equipment leases. These include fair market value (FMV) and dollar buyout leases, which are the two most popular and widely used options available.

Fair market value (FMV) leases typically allow several options at the end of your term. Your first option is to return the equipment if your business has no more use for it. If you want to continue using the equipment without purchasing it, you can extend your lease agreement. Your last option is to purchase the equipment for its fair market value at the time. Dollar buyout leases allow the option of purchasing the equipment for $1 once the lease term expires.
