Frequently Asked Questions
Are there up-front costs for a lease? |
US Capital may request one or two advance payments equal to the amount of your first and last payments as well as a nominal documentation and filing fee. We do not charge an application fee. |

|
What is your process for leasing equipment? |
We ask that you fill out our simple, one-page credit application. One of our Finance Specialists will review your application and upon approval, the lease documents are prepared and sent to you for signing. Once the documents are signed and returned to US Capital, a purchase order is issued to your equipment vendor. Upon delivery and verbal/signed acceptance by you, the vendor is paid and your lease is finalized. |

Who owns the leased equipment at the end of the lease? |
That depends on the type of lease. Sometimes you will have an option to purchase the equipment at the fair market value of the equipment. Other times you own the equipment outright for $1.00 and finally, you have the option of not owning the equipment at all. |
How does US Capital determine the fair market value of the equipment? |
No one can determine the fair market value of the equipment initially because no one knows for sure what the equipment will be worth so many months from now. Companies like the fair market value option since it provides them with the lowest monthly payment possible today. |
What is a financial intermediary? |
As a financial intermediary, US Capital is able to achieve high approval rates for its clients because it works with many financial partners with varying credit appetites, diverse equipment interests and covering a wide geographic area.

The lessee; however, if you would like US Capital to obtain insurance for the equipment you should notify us in writing of this. |
