PUT (Purchase Upon Termination) This plan offers the lessee a fixed purchase option at the end of the lease. At lease end, the customer can extend the term of the lease, return the equipment or buy it usually at 10% or 20% of the original equipment cost.

TRAC Lease (Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause) An operating lease used for trucks and licensed commercial vehicles that contains a higher, predetermined purchase option at the conclusion of the term. A TRAC lease allows the Lessor to offer a lower rental (lease) rate because it is able to claim the depreciation on the equipment.
Sale Lease Back Sale of equipment already listed on Lessee's balance sheet to Lessor which in turn lease the equipment back to the Lessee. This provides a capital infusion to the Lessee and possibly removes debt from their balance sheet.
Master Lease A master lease agreement allows for additional schedules of equipment to be easily added to the lease. Payments are adjusted to cover the additional equipment.
Step Lease Step leases allow lease payments to either increase (Step-Up) or decrease (Step-Down) over the term of the lease to better meet unique cash flow needs.
Step-Up This plan allows for lower monthly payments at the onset of the lease while the equipment begins to generate revenue. Ideal for growing businesses.
Step-Down Here, the customer makes larger monthly payments at the beginning of the lease vs. the end. This is a good program for businesses that want to minimize charges.
Skipped Payment Lease This type of lease agreement requires the lessee to make payments only during certain months or periods each year, to meet seasonal needs or other cash flow constraints.
