International Equipment Financing:

Frequently Asked Questions

We have expanded our cross border equipment financing business by adding countries and implementing new programs.

What kind of transactions make sense for cross-border financing?
U.S. vendor's export sales of capital equipment involving A credits in C countries.

Well established foreign companies with sound financial ratios and no derogatory information. Minimum 3 years in business and 3 years audited financials are required with each application.
Where are the C countries in which Lease One Corp. is most active?
The emerging markets of Latin America, South East Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Sub-Saharan Africa.

Most of our deals are 3 to 5 year loans. Leasing is possible in some cases, but it's not as common.

The minimum transaction size is $1,000,000. Most of our deals are between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Shorter credit terms of up to a year is possible for these.
