Lease Financing Process

How to Obtain a Lease

In general, the lease financing process works like this:

1. Choose and specify the equipment you want.

You choose the vendor and configure the equipment exactly to your requirements. SAIC and SFS are vendor-independent, allowing us to objectively support your goals in the acquisition of new equipment and other material.

2. Contact SFS to get a written lease proposal.

SFS can propose a single transaction or offer alternative lease-lines or even suggest advanced structuring options. To accomplish this, we will research your transaction, company financials and expected equipment usage. This will assist us in creating a single proposal or alternative structure that you may find more beneficial. Once you receive the proposal, you can review it and agree to all terms and conditions up front...no surprises at a future date!

To jump-start the process, download our Credit Application and Profile (77k PDF file*), complete it and return it to us. We will evaluate your transaction and contact you promptly.

Issued to the supplier, shipped to you, and invoiced to us. Just like any other lease or loan, the creditor will hold a security interest in or title to your equipment until the lease or loan terminates.

After you receive and accept your equipment, the supplier will be paid in accordance with the terms of the purchase order that was issued. We work to ensure that all parties promptly and courteously are given the appropriate documentation to effect the lease.

Our goal is your complete satisfaction. Our representatives will work with your organization and the supplier to ensure all parties' requirements are considered and met. SAIC has many years of experience in funding transactions, and we bring that experience to bear in effecting every lease we transact.
