Tailored solutions that will lift your business
The optimal financing solution depends on your business’ budget requirements, cash flow, accounting treatment, and tax situation. To identify the best solution for your business our Aircraft specialists will help you assess the following areas:
- Optimal utilization of cash
- Capital budget management
- Balance sheet and working capital enhancement
- Debt covenant management
- Hedge against equipment obsolescence
- Expected length of asset use and ability to upgrade
- Possibility to return aircraft at the end of the lease
Leases
Leasing offers businesses significant benefits in managing balance sheet and cash flow. Since the aircraft is owned by the lessor, in many cases it is not included in the balance sheet, which can improve the business' overall credit position. Leasing can also provide a hedge against equipment obsolescence.
Loans
Financing appeals to customers planning to keep the aircraft for a long time. Additionally, you build equity with every payment. Our loans are tailored with flexible payment terms to match your budgetary needs and goals. Financing new or used aircraft or refinancing your current debt can free up cash for working capital. GE can consolidate existing aircraft loans into one transaction with one monthly payment.
Sale and Leaseback
Sale and leaseback solutions can inject cash in your business and improve your balance sheet management. In a sale and leaseback, a business sells its aircraft to GE and then immediately leases the aircraft back, maintaining their right to use the asset. Businesses that use this product typically believe that equity tied up in aircraft can be better utilised elsewhere.
Tailored solutions
Whether you need finance for a new or used aircraft, or for upgrading an existing model (engine overhauls, completions, avionics…) we can provide you best-in-class solutions that take into account your balance sheet and tax requirements.
