The Lease you need. Telmark has been leasing equipment for over 30 years. Did you know that we’ve been leasing new buildings for that long too? Consider: • Tax deductibility and accelerated write-offs: Lease payments are income tax deductible over the term of the lease compared to 20-year depreciation of farm buildings and 39-year depreciation of commercial buildings. Could reduce tax liability this year. Low upfront costs: As little as one monthly lease payment. Flexible lease term: Building lease terms from five to fifteen years Customized payment schedules; Lease payment schedules are specially designed to match your cash flow. Talk with a qualified builder to determine your needs and building cost. Then: Call your Telmark representative for your financing.
