Vendor Programs:
In 1998, Sentry/CLA Finance Company, LLC was formed as a joint
venture between Corporate Leasing Associates, Inc. and Sentry
Financial Corporation. The major focus of the business is the
establishment and implementation of Vendor Programs.
Our team of dedicated professionals will provide a full-range of
services, including:
• Client Services (e.g., phone, fax, in-field support, training,
collateral materials and marketing support);
• Lease proposal preparation, custom structuring and negotiation;
• Rapid credit review and underwriting;
• Documentation
• Funding
• Servicing and Administration
• Remarketing
Why your customers want to lease?
• Users realize an immediate reduction in operating costs. The
Leasing Solution immediately impacts the user’s ROA;
• Avoid budget constraints. Monthly “rental” payment may be
acceptable within an operating budget - avoiding capital budgeting
limitations;
• Reduce Technology Risk. Leasing allows easy upgrades and
flexibility at the end of term, including return privileges and
potential trade-in credits; therefore mitigating some risks of
technological obsolescence;
• Simplify the Acquisition Process. The Vendor provides a convenient
single-source comprehensive solution; avoiding the need to go to a
third-party (customer’s bank or another leasing company) for
financing;
• Manage Financial Objectives. Leasing offers many companies
significant financial benefits, including: off-balance sheet
treatment, tax deferral, improved earnings, leverage and working
capital ratios;
• Improve Cash Flow. Leasing equipment more closely matches your customers’ cash outlay with inflows from its utilization.
Structuring the payment stream for your customer may also help with
seasonal needs;
• Reduce Cost of Ownership. In many cases, a lease can provide the
lowest overall cost of utilization to your customer.
