The Process of theEquipment Lease Cycle

Step 1You select the equipment from the equipment dealer of your choice.Step 2Submit an equipment lease application by fax, e-mail, or online. If the dollar amount of the lease requires financial information, we will advise you of what is needed.Step 3Accord Leasing reviews the credit information and/or financial information. Principals credit history; banks and trade references, the equipment and the equipment dealer are also reviewed.Step 4When the lease is approved, Accord Leasing will notify the business owner and the equipment dealer of the terms and conditions of the approval. The average decision time for an application only lease is 24 hours. The variance comes from the response time of the bank and trade information of the business owner. If financial information is required the average decision time is two to three days.Step 5The equipment dealer will provide Accord Leasing with an invoice or an order detailing the description of the equipment and the exact cost and sales tax if applicable. After we receive this information, we will generate the lease documents and overnight or email them to the business owner.Step 6When Accord Leasing receives the signed documents from the business owner with the proper initial payments and/or security deposit, we will issue a purchase order to the equipment dealer for delivery of the equipment.Step 7After the equipment is delivered and installed the business owner will be contacted by phone and asked to verbally verify the delivery and acceptance of the equipment. We will review the lease terms, and authorize payment to the equipment dealer. Once all terms and conditions of the approval are met, the equipment dealer will receive a check via overnight delivery. 

“HODCO Food Systems has processed leases through Accord for nearly six years and has found the company to be responsive to both HODCO’s and our customers needs. In addition they have maintained extraordinary contact with us through the disbursement process, the most recent of which was within 24 hours of invoicing”

HODCO Food Systems Ronald G Stryker, President

“Dealing with Accord makes us feel fortunate because we are dealing with a company in which customer service is their main priority and not only that, but we do receive one on one customer service. We could not get over the fact that after equipment has been installed, we would receive funding immediately.”   Taylor Ultimate Services Yaskary Herrera Sales Administrator

“Just a note to thank you for providing lease financing for my customers. Since working with you, I have experienced a higher percentage of approvals without increasing the payments for my customers” 

Advanced Cash Register Gary Bertram

“ I highly recommend Accord and would be happy to accept any correspondence, written or by

phone, to answer any questions you may have regarding them”

“Your resourcefulness in finding ways to obtain lease-financing for our customers has allowed us to place machines in their businesses which otherwise might not have been possible. My time, and that of the other staff at ABM, is more productive if we can concentrate on SELLING and not have to worry about obtaining lease financing for the sales we have already made. Once you get the application we aren’t bothered about answering time consuming questions or gathering financial information”  Advanced Brewing Machines John Graham VP

“In the time we have been dealing with Accord the benefits we have found are: they are very thorough in getting the required information, they are very detailed oriented, and Accord handles all of the contact with the customers. I myself like this because it frees me to do my business- Sell” Western Freezers Joe Williams

“In the past, I have dealt with other lease companies who have cost me sales because of not knowing my business or not dealing with problems properly. Accord always pays me promptly when the deal is complete. Accord has taken the extra step in satisfying me, my customer and my business” Stoker’s Tenderex Farms, Inc Dan Patterson Jr. Owner/VP of Sales
