We begin every engagement with a cost-transparency review. You tell us the equipment type, purchase price, and your preferred repayment window. We then source proposals from lenders, detailing payment schedules, down-payment requirements, and any fees. Because we are brokers, not lenders, we have no incentive to steer you toward a single product. Our goal is to match your cash-flow reality with a lender's underwriting appetite.
A typical Ann Arbor Township scenario might involve a contractor upgrading a dump truck to serve projects near the township's expanding residential subdivisions. We would request quotes for both a traditional equipment loan and a fair-market-value lease, compare the tax treatment of each, and walk you through residual-value implications. No fabricated numbers, no pressure, just transparent options you can evaluate with your accountant.
