Deposit and collateral requirements are subject to minimum coverage ratios. More conservative requirements are taken when using equipment in place of cash deposits. Set pricing is also subject to meeting all minimum Tier requirements. For example, if a lessee has a 700+ credit score but average monthly deposits of 16x the new monthly lease payment, the lessee is scored as Tier II instead of Tier I.

Inspection And Valuation

After a proposal receives a conditional approval and receipt of the initial deposit required, Paradigm Equipment Finance will move forward. As part of our due diligence, we complete a thorough evaluation of collateral and a site inspection of the business.

Completed reports include pictures, notes and values of the collateral item(s), as well as pertinent information regarding industry, condition and resale values. The scope of an inspection will vary depending on the nature of the assets and collateral involved.

Equipment And Industries

Each individual piece of equipment being leased requires a valuation in excess of $10,000. Paradigm Equipment Finance retains the rights to make an exception based on a blanket UCC-1 lien on company’s assets. The following is a list of preferred and restricted equipment and industries we deal in.
