Off-balance sheet financing, capital expenditure management, monetization of hidden asset value, and customized leases are just some of the many ways we can help you make the most of your cash and assets.

Leases
Leasing offers a business some significant benefits in managing its balance sheet and cash reserves:

• Since the lessor owns the equipment, leased equipment is often not included on a business's balance sheet. This improves debt-to-equity ratios and the business's overall credit position.
• Leasing is a financing alternative for businesses that are unable to take advantage of accelerated tax depreciation.
• Leasing can provide a hedge against equipment obsolescence.

GE Global Electronics Services’ range of leasing options gives you the flexibility to control the turnover and cost of your equipment acquisitions. You can respond to market upswings by quickly acquiring equipment when and where it's needed. Should demand shift, investments in equipment can be adjusted accordingly, helping you maintain your competitive edge.

In certain situations, we may be able to facilitate a like kind exchange transaction where the customer acquires new equipment in exchange for existing equipment. This capability is subject to satisfying IRS requirements.

Loans/Refinancing
Financing new or used equipment or refinancing your current debt can free up cash for working capital. Financing appeals to customers with longer-term equipment needs and builds equity with every payment. We tailor our loans with flexible payment terms to match your budgetary needs and goals. Refinancing in particular helps you uncover hidden equity in your assets. GE can consolidate existing equipment loans into one transaction with one monthly payment. Refinancing can help you improve cash and lower financing costs. In addition, the current equipment value may exceed your remaining debt, allowing you to increase the amount you borrow.

Sale-Leasebacks
In a sale-leaseback, a business sells some or all of its capital equipment or real estate to GES, and we immediately lease the asset back. A sale-leaseback gives the business a cash infusion and helps improve its balance sheet. Businesses that take advantage of this product typically believe that equity tied up in equipment can be better used elsewhere.

Tax Advantaged Financing - Synthetic Leasing
This form of financing is a loan for federal tax purposes but uses lease documentation and is subject to lease accounting for financial reporting. Through this structure a business can receive ownership tax benefits without incurring debt on its balance sheet for accounting purposes.

Remarketing
As one of the world’s leading Remarketers of high-tech equipment, GES can quickly and efficiently remarket your underutilized assets. Whether or not the equipment was originally acquired through GES, we can help identify underutilized assets; promote available products; secure competitive offers; and distribute the product to buyers.
