CLAAS Financial Services in the US offers the following products:

Streamlined Application Only Process.

We provide application only credit decisions up to $600,000 (new customers) and $750,000 (aggregate for current customers) on new and used equipment with the completion of our online or PDF equipment finance application. Credit decisions are generally provided in less than four hours, with larger transactions, requiring additional financial information, generally provided within a day.
 

Competitive Rates.

As a direct lender we are able to provide very competitive rates when financing any of the equipment in the CLAAS product line. We offer terms up to 84 months, depending on the equipment financed.
 

Customized Payment Structures.

We acknowledge that every customer’s business is unique. As such, we customize payment structures based on your need and business cycle. We offer annual, semi-annual, quarterly and monthly payment options.
 

Minimal Upfront Costs.

It does not require a large financial investment to initiate financing with CLAAS Financial Services. We generally require only the first payment in advance or 20% equity (trade or cash) in the total transaction for annual payments, and 10% equity for monthly pays.
 

Equipment Finance Agreements.

Also known as an Installment Sales Contract, this agreement allows the borrower to build equity in the equipment as they make each payment.
 

Fair Market Value Lease.

This contract allows the lessee to acquire the use of the equipment for a low monthly payment (or other agreed upon payment structure) and a term that is less than the equipment’s useful life. At the end of the lease term, the lessee can return the equipment to the lessor, trade in the equipment, or purchase the equipment for its fair market value.
 

Pro Leases.

The balloon-like payment structure allows the customer enter the agreement with a low upfront cost, while also maintaining a low payment.

The primary difference between the CFS Operating Lease and the Purchase Upon Termination (PUT) Lease is that the customer does not have the option of returning the equipment to CFS at the end of term. The customer can pay the final payment and become the owner of the equipment.

Purchasing new CLAAS equipment can represent a considerable capital investment. Financing your new machine through CLAAS Financial Services also has several benefits:

Cash Conservation

Maintaining cash balances is a top priority for most businesses. Financing through CLAAS Financial Services allows you to conserve your cash for times when you need it most.

Conserve Bank Lines

Don’t use your available credit lines with your local bank to purchase equipment that can be easily and conveniently financed through CLAAS Financial Services. Again, conserve your bank borrowing availability to support your company’s ongoing cash flow needs.

Fixed Payments

If you finance your equipment through CLAAS Financial Services you won’t have to worry about the ever-changing cost of money. We offer fixed payments for the entire term of the contract.

Flexible Payment Structures

We understand that your business and/or crop cycle is unique and we’ll work with you to develop a payment plan that meets your needs.
