Equipment Financing, Bridge Loans, & Business Lines of Credit to get Businesses Back on their Feet

Kingswood Leasing has been around for 26 years and over the years has been witness to natural disasters that have affected many of our partners and clients. Sympathetic to the pain and suffering that was caused by these events, Kingswood has always taken every opportunity to do more than normal to help these people get back on their feet. That experience over the years has evolved into an established commitment to these individuals:

“I am developing a Kingswood Disaster Relief Program that will support the rebuilding of businesses affected by natural disasters.” ~ Clifford Metcalfe Jr., Owner & President, Kingswood Leasing, Inc.

Program Highlights

  • Reduced Fees: We’ve negotiated with our banks to limit documentation fees to an absolute minimum to process paperwork.
  • Flexible Payment Options: Qualified buyers may choose from several popular payment options, such as No Payments Due At Signing or 90 Day Deferred Payments.
  • Giving Back: We will donate 1% of the total financed amount to the American Red Cross towards the relief effort of the applicant.

Experience Matters

Businesses that have closed down have much more difficulty obtaining financing had they not had the calamity in the first place, it’s a fact of finance life. A less experienced finance professional may not take the time or know how to present a business that has experienced a natural disaster. Getting back on your feet is too important to risk. We suggest that you partner with an experienced finance professional like ourselves who can leverage over 200 years of combined financial experience to get these afflicted business owners the best terms available for their situation. Many finance companies either run away from or try to take advantage of these business owners. This finance company is running towards those in danger, and bringing to bear every available resource we can to get these business owners back on track.
