Frequently Asked Questions

What types of equipment can I lease?

You can lease virtually any type of equipment, vehicles, or facilities your business needs—new or used, from any vendor.

How is a lease different from a loan?

With a lease, you pay to use the equipment rather than borrowing money to buy it. Leasing often has different tax and accounting treatments and may offer more flexibility over time.

Can I upgrade or add equipment during my lease?

Yes. Leasing allows you to easily upgrade equipment. We’ll work with you to adjust the lease terms, payment, or duration to reflect the updated equipment.

Are discounts or selection help available?

Yes. Lake Ridge Bank Leasing offers access to volume purchasing discounts, vendor comparisons, equipment protection, and support for selecting transportation and material handling equipment.

What are my responsibilities during the lease?

You’re responsible for lease payments and operating costs, including maintenance, insurance, property taxes, registration, and licensing.
