Yes, we do offer financing for cities buying several hundred street benches. I know that kind of purchase can be a major line item, and most municipalities do not want to pay for everything upfront out of one budget cycle.
We typically work with two common paths: municipal lease-purchase financing or phased delivery billing. For a few hundred benches, many cities choose a 12- to 48-month term, which spreads the cost over two or more fiscal years. We can also structure it as a purchase order with progress billing, so the city can take delivery in batches and pay as each batch ships or installs.
The exact terms depend on your procurement rules, credit approval, and whether you are using a cooperative purchasing agreement like Sourcewell, Omnia Partners, or a local state contract. If the city already has a preferred leasing partner or a government financing vehicle, we are happy to work with them. If not, we can introduce options to your purchasing or finance department.
For a project with several hundred benches, I would recommend starting with a rough quantity, bench model, site list, and desired delivery window. That lets us put together a quote with either a lease schedule or a phased payment schedule. We can also include freight, installation, and site prep if needed, so the finance request covers the entire project rather than just the product cost.
The main benefit for a city is budget predictability. Instead of one large capital outlay, you get fixed payments that can line up with annual appropriations or department budgets. It also helps get all benches deployed in one season instead of buying only a smaller number now and waiting for future funding.
If you would like, I can send a simple financing worksheet that your purchasing manager and finance director can review. Just let me know the city, approximate quantity, and whether you have an existing contract or coop you would like us to use.
