Tough Tech Breaking through Barriers
You’re solving society's biggest challenges. Our mission is to put tools in the hands of innovators like you. CSC Leasing has been a part of the Engine Accelerator’s ecosystem for years and has helped its companies get the equipment they need to make advances in technology that have a positive impact on the world.
Transformative Technology Requires Innovative Financing
For many tough tech startups, large upfront equipment purchases or down payments can deplete equity and create cash flow challenges that can get in the way of progress. With financing from CSC, you can receive an injection of cash to use for equipment and technology, enabling you to preserve capital for higher ROI activities instead of spending it on depreciating assets.
The Engine Accelerator
A Longstanding Partnership
We’ve worked with many startups that began their journey at The Engine Accelerator. We provide customizable lease lines that give you the freedom to grow as well as sale leasebacks for reimbursement on the equipment you already own. You choose the vendors and equipment you need, and we’ll do the rest, including a dedicated account team that will help you through the leasing process from start to finish.
- Flexible lease lines from $100K up to $50MM
- Non-dilutive financing that is non-recourse and doesn’t require covenants or warrants
- Low, predictable monthly payments
- End-to-end asset management by our in-house procurement and logistics specialists—leave the packing, pickup and transportation to us

“Without a lease from CSC, we would have used investor money to build the facility, shortening our cash runway and development time, increasing risk, and complicating future fundraising.”

About Our Company
The CSC Difference
For nearly 40 years, we’ve been using our deep investment expertise to partner with growing, well-run businesses for the long-term. We take the time to understand our clients’ unique business needs and use 100% of our own private capital to fund investments, which gives us the ability to say “yes” when many other investors and banks say “no”. Our custom leasing solutions support businesses as they mature and equipment needs change, and we stand by our partners through market cycles because we believe that’s the only way to make a real difference for their businesses.
