Every lease is written around how long you will use the equipment and what you want to happen at the end. These are the structures we write most often; mixed structures inside one master agreement are normal.
Lowest monthly payment. We keep the residual value; at the end of the term you return the equipment, extend, or buy it at its then fair market value.
A finance lease. Payments cover the full cost; at the end the equipment is yours for a nominal amount. Fixed rate, fixed term, no residual uncertainty.
Payments start low and step up as the equipment goes into production and revenue follows. Written for hosting and cloud providers filling a new hall.
One agreement, one credit approval, many schedules. Draw equipment against an approved line over 12 – 24 months without re-papering each delivery.
Built-in option to swap equipment for a newer generation mid-term or at renewal, with the remaining obligation rolled into the new schedule.
Certified pre-owned servers and switches for projects, migrations, burst capacity or a proof of concept. Shipped from stock, returned when the project ends.
The right structure depends on how long the hardware stays useful to you and whether you want to own it. This is the shortcut our team uses.
| If you… | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh compute every 3 years | FMV lease or technology refresh | Lowest payment; the residual risk is ours, and you move to the next generation without selling anything. |
| Will run the equipment for 5+ years | $1 buy-out lease | You end up owning it; the payment is higher but there is nothing to negotiate at the end. |
| Are filling a new hall and revenue lags deployment | Step lease | Payments follow your ramp instead of your delivery date. |
| Add capacity every quarter | Master lease line | One approval, then schedules; delivery is no longer gated by finance. |
| Need gear for a project or migration | Rental | Weeks to deploy, no long commitment, convertible to a lease if the project stays. |
We approve against the equipment and your operating history, not only against audited financials, which is why a term sheet takes days rather than weeks.
A vendor quote, a BOM or an inventory export. We can also source the equipment for you.
Structure, term, monthly rate and end-of-term options within five business days.
Master lease agreement plus a schedule per delivery. Signed electronically.
Equipment ordered or pulled from stock, configured, shipped and installed. Payments start when it lands.
Yes. That is a sale-and-leaseback: we buy your existing fleet at an agreed value and lease it back. See Buy-out & ITAD.
Yes, and it is often the better deal. Certified pre-owned servers and switches up to five years old carry a lower monthly rate and are available from stock.
You insure it while it is in your care. Maintenance can be included in the lease or kept with your vendor; either way, one invoice.
Early termination is priced into the agreement from day one: a buy-out schedule shows what the equipment costs you in any given month, so there is no negotiation later.
US, EU and UAE counterparties. Documentation follows the jurisdiction where the equipment is installed.
