Research Institute/Library/Museum

University-affiliated hospitals, museums, libraries and research institutes use UniversityLease to access the equipment that keeps their organizations on the forefront of American research and technology. From medical equipment to art exhibits, low-cost lease financing bridges the financial gap that can hinder many private and public research facilities in today's competitive marketplace.

Whether you're looking to stretch an existing budget, maximize research grant funds or purchase equipment needed today, UniversityLease has a wide variety of flexible financing scenarios to fit your specific needs. Unlike most traditional sources of financing, the payment schedule, length of lease and lease-end options are not pre-determined for you. We work with you to structure a lease custom-fit to your situation. In addition, state agencies (and private institutions that partner with state agencies) can access our tax-exempt, lease purchase rates, which are some of the lowest in the industry. Because the interest income we derive on these transactions is tax-exempt, we are able to pass the savings on to you.

We will work with your CFO, controller, comptroller or your purchasing department to create a payback that will fit within the finance model of your Institution. We can also offer quick turnaround and provide direct funding so that you deal with the same company every time you finance.

As a division of California First National Bank (CFNB), combined with affiliates, UniversityLease has been providing financing nationwide for over a decade. You can feel confident with us as your trusted financial partner.
