Capital Equipment Finance Advisory

Bring Clarity, Control and Savings to Equipment Leasing.

Healthcare organizations invest heavily in medical technology, IT and other capital equipment. Yet equipment financing decisions are often reactive, complex and costly—made harder by evolving accounting standards (ASC 842, GASB 87). The most expensive elements of a lease, such as interim rent, extensions and end‑of‑term charges, can go unmonitored. Our advisory helps CFOs and treasurers access this funding channel on attractive terms while reducing risk.
