WHAT is Contract Financing?

Lenders Contract Financing (or monetizing) is a very flexible financial tool providing
a number of capital options - much less expensive and onerous than equity or
sub-debt. So long as there is an equipment component, contract financing can
be used to:

of equipment is necessary to complete the contract. There is a provider (usually

WHY can the Contract Finance product be valuable to you?

The Contract Finance deals are averaging close to $6 million per transaction
(although a number of contracts in various stages of process would
dramatically increase that average). This form of financing could be extremely
valuable to smaller companies that don’t have the resources to buy equipment or
adequate working capital. In many cases, it can be used as an alternative to
equity or to augment existing equity in the provider company. In fact, many
smaller companies do not bid large contracts for fear that they will be unable to
fulfill them because of a lack of capital. The equipment necessary to fulfill a
contract can be existing equipment that is refinanced or sold and leased back, or
brand new equipment that is located at either the provider’s or the end user’s
location. These need not be a new contract to qualify for Contract Finance. the lender
can monetize the remaining balance/term of an existing contract.

the contract via addendum, that will allow an assignment of all or a portion of the future revenues to be taken.
