Flexible equipment financing

Our flexible equipment financing solutions put your needs first. Because Your Business Is Our Priority.

The goal that
drives our success

Many finance providers focus solely on cash flows and financial ratios. At Essex Lease, we believe there’s more to the story. While finances are important, they’re just one part of the equation. Our mission is to redefine financial services for businesses traditionally underserved by banks. We offer flexible, customized solutions that address the unique challenges your business faces. From leases and loans to rental purchase agreements and leases with a residual value, we tailor our financing to meet your needs.

If you’re looking for a financing partner who values your character, business objectives, and long-term potential, Essex Lease is here to help you achieve your goals.

We take a different approach to heavy equipment financing

Securing heavy equipment financing can be challenging for industrial businesses, often involving complex contracts, confusing terms, and unfair demands. At Essex Lease, we’re committed to changing that narrative.

Your finances are still an important part of our credit assessment; however, unlike other financing partners, we consider every avenue when making our final decision. Your goals and values matter to us just as much as your financial history. After all, what often sets the best businesses apart from the competition are the qualities that can’t be easily quantified.

We’re a heavy equipment leasing and financing company that works for your business – not against it. If you want a partner that looks beyond cash flow to truly understand your business, Essex Lease is the team you’ve been waiting for.
