GMA’s Direct Lease Program finances 100% of eligible essential equipment costs at attractive interest rates and flexible terms. Common purchases include police and fire vehicles, heavy equipment, computer servers and a host of other asset classes.
To initiate a relationship, a City would first execute a GMA Master Lease. Then all future purchases will be documented with a very simple Lease Supplement prepared by GMA staff.
No up-front fees. No required down payments. No prepayment penalties.
We consider all leases on a case-by-case basis.
If you decide to participate in the Direct Lease program, you will adopt a Master Lease (one-time) and submit your two most recent financial audits (or Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports) to us for a credit review.
When you adopt the Master Lease, certain City officers are then authorized to execute supplemental leases for essential equipment—making future purchases much easier.
