Practical answers
Leasing & Financing FAQs
Commercial details depend on the applicant, equipment configuration and written agreement. These answers provide a practical planning starting point.
Ask a specialist →What is the difference between leasing and financing surveillance equipment?
Leasing provides use of eligible equipment for a defined term under a lease agreement. Financing is a separate credit product provided by Trio Capital that spreads the acquisition cost across an approved repayment term. Ownership and end-of-term treatment depend on the signed agreement.
Which SentryPODS systems are available for leasing?
The current planning list includes Chariot, Spartan, Hunter, Phoenix, Recon and MINI. Eligibility, product availability and final configuration are confirmed in the written SentryPODS proposal.
What lease terms and interest options are available?
Eligible SentryPODS leasing options include 12-, 24- and 36-month terms and may offer 0% interest. This does not automatically apply to financing through Trio Capital. Applicable terms are confirmed in the written proposal and final agreement.
How does Trio Capital financing work and how long does review take?
Apply on Trio Capital’s secure external website. Applications are typically reviewed within one business hour, although timing is not guaranteed. Trio Capital communicates the decision and available terms. After accepted documents and the final invoice are complete, the equipment order can proceed.
What credit qualifications apply, and can startups qualify?
Financing requires a valid business address and is subject to Trio Capital underwriting. Rates and terms depend on the applicant’s credit and business profile. Qualified startups may be considered, typically up to $50,000 depending on the business, time in business and credit profile.
Can financing be paid off early, and does applying guarantee approval?
Trio Capital financing has no penalty for early payoff or buyout, subject to the final financing documents. Applying does not guarantee approval, a particular rate, term, funding amount, promotional program or review time.
Can monitoring, cellular connectivity and the Fortress dashboard be included?
