Home




Our municipal lease purchase plans give governmental entities a fast, flexible, affordable way to acquire the equipment they need, when they need it.

It's a way that eliminates the need for large, up-front, lump-sum cash outlays.

It's fast because it doesn't involve the complexity of a bond issue or (in most cases) the time necessary for general voter approval.

It's flexible because payments can be tailored to fit the unique revenue requirements of public agencies. And it's economical because it offers tax-exempt interest rates while still building equity toward ownership.

Simply put, it's a plan that can work like an installment purchase, with payments applied toward potential ownership.
