Rates and commissions

SunBridge Capital’s rates and pricing are calculated based upon the applicant’s performance on the SunBridge Capital credit model. The SunBridge Capital credit model considers characteristics of the applicant including FICO, verified time-in-business, Dun & Bradstreet data, asset and transaction size. We offer buy rates from 10.5% up to 27.5% with typically only the first and last payment in advance. Brokers can build their own structures with TermBuilder, SunBridge Capital’s online deal-structuring tool. Each approval can earn you up to 10 points of commission, regardless of transaction size or credit.

Financing types available

  • TRAC leases are used for financing transactions containing only titled equipment and with residuals of 10% to 20%.
  • First Amendment leases are used for funding transactions containing at least one piece of non-titled equipment and with residuals of 10% to 20%.
  • Capital leases are used for financing any type of equipment for transactions in which the residual is $1 or $101, depending on the state.
