Drone Finance & Leasing Program

About this program

Acquiring drone equipment can involve significant choices about cash flow, ownership, utilisation, and the useful life of technology. Finance and leasing arrangements may suit different business situations, but their terms and suitability need careful assessment. The Drone Finance and Leasing Program provides a starting point for discussing equipment requirements and potential provider introductions. It helps frame the information a business may need before exploring available arrangements with qualified providers. The program does not promise funding or recommend a particular financial product. Share your equipment plans, business context, and objectives so the team can discuss relevant information and possible next steps.

Who it’s for

Drone operators, equipment buyers, fleet managers, and businesses considering how to fund equipment acquisition or planned fleet expansion.

Prepare an equipment requirement

Outline the assets you need, intended use, expected utilisation, and acquisition timetable. Distinguish equipment costs from training, maintenance, insurance, and operating expenses.

Compare questions, not just payments
