Essex Capital Venture 

Leasing works with top-tier venture capital firms 

to provide equipment 

financing so that the funded firms suffer less 

equity dilution.  By utilizing 

Essex Capital’s venture leasing program, 

your start-up company can lower 

costs, build enterprise value and 

preserve ownership.

Essex Capital Venture Leasing's structured financing provides companies 

with access to the equipment they need, while our knowledge and 

relationships with venture capital companies offers the partnerships needed 

to face the challenges in the market, together. 

Traditional methods of funding a purchase are not always practical or 

necessary.  Essex Capital Venture Leasing is a flexible, innovative and 

alternative financing vehicle to the traditional method of using working 

capital or borrowing money.  

Venture leasing provides several benefits that 

traditional bank financing cannot provide.  The underlying equipment 

usually secures venture leases, without any restrictive financial covenants.  

If a bank decides to lend to an early stage company, they will often require 

blanket liens on all company assets, and in many cases, require guarantees 

from the principals.  Limitations like this can cause delays and have a direct 

impact on growth.  When start-ups need additional financing and a sole 

lender has encumbered all assets or required guarantees, these young 

companies become less attractive to other financing sources. 

Our goal is long-term partnerships where our expertise in leasing, lending, 

finance, and venture capital-backed companies can help our customers 

reach their ultimate goals.   

Companies needing the operating cash to 

support their working capital can rely on Essex Capital Venture Leasing to 

provide the equipment leasing and financing required to support their 

business needs.  Our willingness to create client-specific payment structures 

that align with your business model removes inefficiencies, saves valuable 

time and offers you a flexible 

structure for the future.

 

Essex Capital will consider lease lines ranging in size from as little as

$200,000 to well over $5,000,000 depending on the lessee's need, credit

strength and Venture Capital involvement.  Terms typically range between

2 to 5 years, payable monthly.  The quality and useful life of the underlying

equipment are also important elements of venture leasing.  Essex Capital

offers flexible end-of-lease options for business essential equipment that

include the ability to buy the equipment, renew the lease at fair market

value or, return the equipment to Essex Capital.  

Essex Capital Venture Leasing has been a successful financing vehicle for 

start-up companies seeking to build a larger enterprise.  Additionally, 

Essex Capital Corporation can locate equipment at lower prices, assist in 

selling old equipment, and introduce key partners and capital connections.  

When used properly, venture leasing can dramatically assist early stage 

companies.
