Why operations leaders choose Paramount

Lease structure that matches how your business actually runs.

Your forklift fleet shouldn't be on the same flat lease as your office printer. We size term length and residual against actual usage.

    Most applications get a soft-pull approval the same business day.

FAQ

Plain answers to the questions we hear most.

What's the difference between $1 buyout and FMV?

A $1 buyout lease works like a finance loan. At term end you own the truck for $1. An FMV lease has lower monthly payments and the option to buy at fair-market price, return, or upgrade. FMV is popular when you refresh fleets every 3–5 years.

Can payments scale with peak season?

Yes! Step-up structures and skip-payment seasons are common for retailers, e-comm, and 3PLs with predictable holiday spikes.

Do you cover used or refurbished trucks?

Yes! Used and certified-refurb forklifts from any reputable dealer are part of our daily volume.

Master lease across multiple sites?

Yes! A single contract spanning multiple locations and equipment classes is standard for multi-site operators.

Will applying hurt my credit?

No! Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull with zero score impact. Hard pull only after final offer acceptance.
