Atlantic Funding addresses the unique needs of independent mechanical contractors and HVAC
equipment dealers by enabling them to provide lease financing to
customers who are improving their building.
Our ability to service your wide array of customers - including schools,
hospitals, churches and commercial and industrial businesses - provides
you with a critical competitive advantage in serving your complete
customer base.
How does a leasing program benefit you and your customers ?
Your customers want the product because:
- they can make monthly payments avoiding a large upfront cash outlay.
- 100% lease financing allows them to preserve their credit lines.
You will have advantage over your competitors - leasing could make the
difference between winning and losing a sale.
Your customers will look at you as a unique provider of a total
solution, including installation and leasing of equipment.
You receive payment upon the customer's acceptance of the installation.

Why Leasing?
-
Your Customers can keep
their approved credit lines available for other purposes
-
100% Financing with Fixed
Rate Monthly Payments
Lease funding is for 100%
of your equipment invoice. The monthly rental payments are fixed for
the term of the contract. Most bank loans require a sizable down
payment on the purchase and a variable monthly payment. And, lease
financing does not require any compensating deposits balances as
required with many bank loans.
-
Tax Advantages
"True lease" or "tax lease"
contract rental payments are considered a deductible business expense.
Of course, each business is unique and your customer should consult
their tax advisor. We provide a free Lease vs. Purchase Analysis to
review with their tax advisor.

and we'll review the investor Credit Requirements
These will vary from investor to investor but there are a few basic
criteria every investor will review:
-
Credit Score: Most
investors will look for the owner's personal credit score to be 650 or
higher.
-
Time in Business: Generally, we need to show the business has been in operation for five
or more years.
-
The lessee should own the
building; we may need a waiver from any mortgage holder.
-
The installation should be
for new equipment from a recognized manufacturer.
-
Business Credit Rating: If
the business has been extended payment terms, and that vendor is
reporting payment history, the Paynet rating should be satisfactory
and the D&B Paydex rating should be 70 or higher. If
there is no credit rating, we'll just need to verify the payment
histories directly.
-
Financial Statements -
We'll ask for the last two years tax filings for requests over
$50,000.
