Get a custom estimate for new or refurbished equipment that fits a multi-year lab plan without requiring a large upfront purchase.
Lab equipment can require substantial upfront capital. A lease can spread eligible equipment costs across scheduled payments, allowing a company to keep more cash available for hiring, R&D, and operations.
Excedr prepares custom estimates for qualifying new or refurbished equipment with a stable multi-year need. Terms start at 36 months and require approval, giving your team a defined lease structure to compare with an upfront purchase.
Qualifying equipment. Multi-year terms. Custom review.
Use these answers as a starting point, then compare the actual lease estimate, vendor quote, and operating plan with qualified financial, tax, accounting, and legal advisers.
Leasing changes the timing of equipment spending. When an approved lease requires less cash at the start than an outright purchase, a biotech company can keep more capital available for R&D, hiring, facilities, and operations. Compare the complete payment schedule with the purchase plan and the milestones that cash must support.
Read the cash runway guide →Do not assume every project has zero upfront cost. Excedr prepares a custom estimate from the equipment quote, term, deposit, software, service, and other approved requirements. Compare that estimate with the full installed cost of buying, not only the instrument price.
Review the full cost of lab equipment →Leasing may fit a durable multi-year equipment need when conserving cash and matching payments to the operating plan matter more than immediate ownership. Buying may fit when long-term ownership is strategically important and the company can commit capital without weakening its plan.
Compare leasing with buying →Confirm the exact equipment and configuration, freight, installation, software, service, payment schedule, early-exit terms, and end-of-lease options. Excedr leases require approval and have a 36-month minimum, so the structure is intended for sustained use rather than short-term access.

Our program is designed specifically for life sciences, with equipment leasing structured separately from equity financing.
Use scheduled lease payments for qualifying equipment instead of a large upfront purchase, while keeping equity decisions separate from equipment procurement.
We don’t carry inventory. You select qualifying new or refurbished equipment, and we prepare a custom estimate around a stable multi-year need, subject to approval.
We review the equipment request and business financials to determine eligibility and proposed terms. Approval is required, and timing depends on the details provided.
Lease terms start at 36 months and can be structured around the equipment’s expected use and your operating plan.
We coordinate with vendors and service providers for logistics and for post-procurement equipment or service issues.
Equipment leases are structured separately from equity financing. Review the payment, security, and end-of-term obligations in the lease documents before signing.
For qualifying equipment and approved transactions, a sale-leaseback can convert an eligible prior purchase into scheduled lease payments.
Depending on the agreement, end-of-lease options may include renewal, return, or a fair-market-value purchase.
Our application and review process is built for biotech startups seeking a custom estimate for a multi-year equipment need.
Let us know what equipment you’re looking to lease. We don’t hold inventory, so you’re never limited to what’s in stock.
We review your equipment request and financial information to determine eligibility and proposed terms. Approval is required.
After approval and documentation, we coordinate with the vendor, manage invoicing, and structure the lease. Qualifying new or refurbished equipment can ship directly from the vendor, with end-of-lease options defined in your agreement.
From genomics to imaging, we help you lease the exact equipment your lab needs. We don’t carry inventory. Instead, we finance the equipment you choose.
Share the equipment you need and we’ll prepare a custom estimate for review.
