Pro-Lease Price Guide

Lease Application

Who can lease?
Any imaging professional, company, organization or association. Profoto/EquiCapital cannot lease equipment to an individual for personal use. 

Is a down payment required?
A deposit, equal to two months' lease payments, is required. It will be applied to the first and last monthly payments. 

What about Profoto Bonuses or Rebates?
Your purchase qualifies you to participate in any current Profoto promotion and is independent of lease financing. Ask your Profoto dealer for details of promotions in effect. 

Is there a minimum purchase amount?
Yes: $10,000. Your order may consist of any of the products offered by Profoto.

Can the lease be canceled?
No, but the equipment can be traded in for new, leased equipment before the expiration of the initial term. 

What about insurance?
For the protection of both EquiCapital and you, EquiCapital requires that the equipment be insured. Insurance is available through EquiCapital, or can be provided by your own insurance company. 

How does the $1.00 buy-back work?
At the end of the lease term, you simply purchase the equipment for $1.00. No strings attached. A nominal charge (approx. $50) for processing the title transfer may also apply. Please note that the “$1.00 buy-back” lease plan is not available in Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska or Texas. (For residents in these states the monthly payments are lower because buy-back at end of lease is Fair Market Value.)

Are other lease plans available?
Yes. Your EquiCapital representative will be glad to discuss your special needs. Call toll free: 866-515-1774.

Can I add to a lease at a later date? 
Yes. Once you have your lease, EquiCapital can usually make convenient arrangements for you to make additional acquisitions by simply adding to the existing lease.
