The Building you want.
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.
