Flexible Leases for Your Lab

Our non-dilutive leasing program allows you to extend your cash runway, hit R&D and commercialization milestones faster, and position your company for a stronger valuation at your next raise. With flexible terms and cost-effective financing, Excedr empowers you to focus on what matters most—innovation, discovery, and scaling your business efficiently.

How Our Leases Work

White-Glove Service

With 15 years of VIP manufacturer relationships, we provide fast, white-glove service for repairs and maintenance, reducing downtime and risk.

Founder-Friendly Terms

Our equipment leasing provides non-dilutive capital, giving you funding without sacrificing equity. Unlike traditional financing, you retain full ownership while scaling.

2-5 Year Lease Lengths

Our lease agreements range from 2 to 5 years, depending on factors like equipment type, usage needs, and your company’s financial position.

Your Choice of Equipment

We don’t hold inventory. As a capital provider, we assess your financials to determine eligibility. If approved, you choose the exact equipment that fits your needs.

In-House Underwriting

Our in-house underwriting ensures fast approvals with minimal paperwork, so you get the equipment you need sooner—part of our commitment to white-glove service.

No Loan-Like Terms

Our leases avoid restrictive loan-like terms—no debt covenants, IP pledges, or collateral required—giving you maximum flexibility.

End-of-Lease Options

At the end of your lease, you can renew at a lower rate, purchase the equipment at fair market value, or simply end the lease.

Sale-Leaseback Options

If you’ve bought lab equipment in the last 6–9 months, you may qualify for a Sale-Leaseback. Excedr buys the equipment, converting it into monthly lease payments to free up capital for research.

Leasing Solutions to Support Growth

Long-Term Operating Leases

Excedr's operating leases run 2–5 years, providing equipment without the burdens of ownership. Unlike finance leases, they let businesses upgrade regularly without high upfront costs.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions

Recently bought equipment? Excedr can convert your purchase into a lease through a sale-leaseback (SLB). If you’ve paid for equipment in the last 9 months, we’ll buy it and provide monthly lease payments, giving you immediate cash, increased liquidity, and a longer runway.
