Equipment leasing is a usage-based structure in which a business pays to operate an asset over a defined term rather than financing its full purchase price. Depending on the lease type, the arrangement can prioritize the lowest payment with a return option or build toward ownership through a purchase option at the end. It keeps capital free and lets companies refresh equipment as needs change.

Cost & structure
What drives the cost, and why we don't post a rate
RCR International Finance LLC does not guarantee approval, rates, or funding amounts. Terms are determined case by case after review.
Lease types differ: some emphasize the lowest payment with a return option, others include a purchase option that builds toward ownership.
End-of-term choices typically include buying the asset, renewing the lease, or returning the equipment.
Because the lessor often retains residual interest in the asset, payment structure differs from a straight equipment loan.
