In short
A company that provides funding for businesses to lease equipment or other assets, rather than purchasing them outright.
If the business you're buying has significant equipment leased, a lease financing company is involved. You'll need to understand the terms of these existing leases and if they can be assigned or need to be restructured. The SBA lender will review these obligations as part of your global cash flow.
