Delivering a Full Spectrum
of Financing Solutions

At Ansley Park Capital, we tap into the responsiveness, flexibility, and creativity of a highly experienced team with unmatched knowledge of the equipment financing industry to serve a broad community of borrowers to meet their individual needs with full product capabilities.

Our approach to working with our clients is simple. We strive to understand our customers, take the time to underwrite their business, and provide tailored financing solutions for their unique circumstances. Our solutions facilitate their business growth today and well into the future.

We leverage our team’s extensive relationships and full product capabilities of our platform to originate through a number of key financing channels.

Direct Originations

Our highly experienced financial professionals spend time with our customers to understand their strategy, goals, and business challenges. We leverage the expertise of our entire organization across asset management and financial disciplines to bring the best financial solutions available for each specific customer situation and asset type. Our customers value the immediate and long-term relationships that come with working with our team.

Sponsor Finance

We collaborate with private equity sponsors to understand their unique approach to the investment and growth of each portfolio company along with their financing strategy. We look to provide the most efficient and flexible capital to support their strategies and goals for each valued investment. Flawless execution is expected and delivered.

Capital Markets

Our capital markets professionals partner with banks, non-banks, captive finance, and other transaction sources to provide their customers with seamless financing execution while leveraging our funding capabilities. We strive to provide value to your customers while helping you manage your capital deployment.

Comprehensive Financing Solutions

Loans

Customers choose loans for the financing of new or used equipment, with flexible amortization and terms to match both the useful life and value of the equipment as well as their desired payment schedule. Loan financing of equipment keeps other sources of capital (equity or working capital lines) available for strategic business uses.

Finance Leases

Finance leases are another great way to have the ability to use equipment critical in your operation for a fixed monthly cost avoiding capital outlays up front, but on a non-loan basis. 

True Tax Oriented FMV Leases

The value of equipment to our customers is in how they use and generate revenue, as the equipment itself is a depreciating asset. In a True Lease, the customer may have lower payments than in other financing products and can buy, return, or continue leasing the equipment at the end of the term of the lease providing enhanced operational flexibility.

TRAC Leases

TRACs are special true leases designed only for over the road transportation assets. The structure provides ownership type control of the asset value at the end of the lease while the Lessee is not considered the tax owner of the vehicle. In this structure we agree with our customers at lease inception on the future value (TRAC amount) of the vehicle, which drives the monthly payment. If the customer decides not to keep the vehicle at the end of the lease, they are responsible for the TRAC amount and get the benefit of any upside value in the asset and also are responsible for any value below the TRAC.

Split TRAC Leases

A Split TRAC is similar to a TRAC except that the lessee’s potential exposure at lease end is limited to a portion of the predicted future value.
