Benefits of Excedr Leases

You rely on equipment and technology every day to operate and grow your business. But the value of those products comes from using them, not necessarily owning them.

Excedr’s equipment lease program offers numerous advantages over other financing methods.

White-Glove Service

  • We promise a quick, easy financial and equipment assessment process (~2 days).
  • You can be approved with minimal documentation and have the equipment in operation generating revenue for your business quickly. You can also accelerate the speed at which you achieve your R&D milestones.
  • Your dedicated Customer Success Manager helps manage equipment maintenance and repairs, enabling you to spend more time focusing on your core business and operations.
  • We underwrite and fund every lease with our own capital. This means there’s no bureaucracy, which allows us to move as fast as your company requires.
  • Excedr clients get access to our exclusive, curated list of life science vendor partners that offer discounts and rewards on a wide range of products and services. Visit https://www.excedr.com/rewards

Extended Cash Runway

  • Excedr is not a middleman. We have no outside investors, depositors, or limited partners, which enables us to bring you the best value.
  • You spread your payments out over 2-5 years, preserving your cash for day-to-day expenses such as inventory, personnel, R&D, business development, sales/marketing, etc.
  • We cover 100% of the equipment costs including sales tax, corrective/preventive maintenance, freight, installation, and training.
  • Our leases are 100% tax deductible* and are recorded as operating expenses on your income statement, not as debt nor as a capital purchase on your balance sheet.

*Please consult your tax advisor to determine the full tax implications of leasing equipment.

Increased Company Value

  • Excedr leases reduce the capital you have tied up in depreciating assets (equipment), which makes you more attractive to investors and traditional lenders and does not hinder future fundraising ability.
  • As opposed to other leasing companies, banks, and equity investors, Excedr does NOT require:
    • Collateral (IP pledges, etc.)
    • Financial Covenants
    • Equity Participation
    • Personal Guarantees
  • Our leases are a founder, investor, and shareholder friendly financing option that allow you to maintain control of your operations and growth.

Flexibility & Customized Solutions

  • Excedr can outfit your entire laboratory with the instrumentation you need and with the configurations/specifications you desire.
  • We offer flexible payment schedules (monthly, quarterly, annually, etc.) for 2-5 year lease terms.
  • When a lease is complete, you have the option to renew equipment usage at a discounted rate, purchase the instrument, or conclude the lease.
  • You can structure a finance program that addresses your key business issues, including: cash runway, cash flow, budgeting, grant cycles, and any seasonal fluctuations.
