True Tax Leases, Commercial Equipment Leasing & Financing

Lower your payments and
reduce your tax burden with one of the top-trusted capital equipment leasing companies.

True Tax Leases for Commercial Equipment Leasing have lower up-front costs, lower monthly payments and multiple tax advantages. Our Commercial Equipment Leasing through True Tax Leases can finance up to 100% of the cost of the equipment including “soft costs” (transportation, delivery, installation and other deferred costs). The payment on a True Tax Lease is usually lower than a Non-Tax Lease (which preserves cash flow) and also allows the business to deduct qualifying lease payments as operating expenses.

Regents’ True Tax Leases include Operating Leases, Stretch Leases, Skip Payment Leases and Step Payment Leases. These leases can be tailored with flexible structures, tax advantages, and end-of-term buyout options including lease extensions, return or purchase of equipment at fair market value.

Features & Benefits of Commercial Equipment Leasing

Commercial equipment financing
through True Tax Leases

Lower Capital & Commercial Equipment Financing Costs

Lower commercial equipment financing costs with no hidden charges, non- utilization fines or fees in fine print. Converting variable debt to fixed rate financing hedges against inflation and rising interest rates as payments remain the same for the term of the contract. As your awarded capital equipment leasing company – we think that’s the way equipment financing should be.

 Regents Helps You Avoid Bank Restrictions

Avoid blanket liens, restrictive covenants, rate escalator clauses, compensating balance requirements, or other typical surprises in traditional lending restrictions, all while improving financial and internal performance ratios. Our business and funding solutions work with you, not against you.

Regents Progress Payment Management

Our clients save time and upfront cash when Regents manages all of the invoicing and necessary progress payments. This increases efficiency and progress as well as helping to alleviate many vendor-induced headaches.

100% Financing Options for Your Business Needs

At Regents, we understand that financing may be needed for associated project costs including soft costs such as installation, design fees, software, delivery, training, etc. – costs that many banks cannot or will not cover. As a trusted equipment leasing company, we have 100% financing options for all of your business needs.

Lower Payment Options for Your Business

Regents’ lower payment and flexible term leases help fit commercial equipment leasing expenditures into even the tightest budget allowances, enabling the client to get the financing for the equipment their business needs and the growth they want right now.

Off-Balance Sheet Commercial Equipment Financing

With off-balance sheet commercial equipment financing, qualifying payments on a Regents True Tax Lease are up to 100% deductible as an operating expense as opposed to only being able to deduct depreciation and interest.

Client Recommendations

We have had the pleasure working with Regents Capital on multiple lease financing projects over the years. Their ability to finance our projects, including those with upwards of 50% soft costs continues to surprise us and surpass all others who have competed for our business in the past. Regents also secured funding for previous equipment purchases enabling us to hit our project deadlines; critical in our seasonal based business. Regents excels in project management often serving as our right hand by processing complex documentation, coordinating with our internal departments and multiple vendor management all while providing rapid funding. Many of the past projects commenced even before the equipment was delivered.

Their professional persistence paid off for both our companies’ mutual benefit.

Regents efficiency and excellent client services are highly valued in our organization and we look to partner with them on many projects in the future. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need of equipment financing and/or vendor management.”

Mandy C

President

The ability to secure funding for both our hard and soft assets (including software, custom graphics and installation) with one financing company, Regents, has made my job so much easier. In addition, Regents expertise with complex documentation and assistance with meeting legal requirements is something you don’t fully appreciate until you are deep into the transaction. Having worked with many other financing companies over the years, I speak from experience when I say that Regent’s is a cut above the rest.

I greatly appreciate the structuring expertise, flexibility and service that both Regents extends to our company and recommend Regents as a truly exceptional and unique equipment financing partner.”

Art T

Owner

Regents has provided our company with outstanding service. We utilized their reimbursement program to monetize our recent equipment purchases applying the some of the new capital towards completion of our facilities security system. We were also able to lower our monthly payments, improve our liquidity and now have the dry powder we need to capitalize on growing demand from within the Construction industry.

We are very happy all around – no complaints. Regents will be the first I call the next time something comes through.”

Over the years Regents has provided us with exceptional project/vendor management, fantastic rates and very flexible terms. We’ve utilized their easy application program many times to quickly acquire equipment financing for a high number of low dollar valued assets that often need to be sent to multiple locations in a hurry. We trust Regents promise of rapid turnaround between us and our vendors and they always rise to the challenge.

While others may grow lax in customer service due to our many schedules and rapid funding requirements, Regents sees us as a client first and foremost. We value our relationship with Regents and expect to see many more transactions completed quickly and easily with them in the future.”

Ken C

President

I’m not really known to be much of a wordsmith, so I’ll not use too much fancy talk to tell you how wonderful the experience has been working with you two on this deal. You young ones have really impressed me. You guys have been quite a breath of fresh air as it goes in dealing with lenders aka bankers and the like. As I said before, I was so used to dealing in the “old” world of lending, dingy offices with old school people who obviously hate what they do. Those experiences have made coming to your company truly a very pleasant experience.

Great job and I’ll take you up on the beer.”
