Leasing and Financing Options

Equipment loans

With a security agreement, Republic Bank Commercial Finance may provide financing for up to 100% of equipment cost. Your business purchases the equipment and retains ownership.

TRAC lease

A TRAC lease is available for titled vehicles and allows for a residual based on expected utilization. This may help reduce total payment amount compared with other structures.

Tax lease / First Amendment lease

This option is designed for non-titled equipment. At the end of the lease term, your business may have options to purchase the equipment or renew the lease.

Finance lease

A finance lease has many characteristics of a loan. Your business uses the equipment during the term and purchases it at the end of the lease for a stated amount.


How to Get Started

Getting started is simple. Talk with an equipment finance officer about the equipment you plan to purchase and how it will be used. In many cases, we can provide quick structural feedback before a full credit request is submitted.

Many decisions are made locally, allowing for faster turnaround and greater flexibility.
