Leasing Services
Flexible Leasing and Financing Options for Businesses Nationwide
Global Power Supply understands that purchasing a backup power system is a major investment for most companies, and we work hard to make sure our customers have options for financing and leasing on every purchase. Power outages are becoming more common, and the fact is that many businesses will face an extended utility power outage at some point. Let us help your business have power peace-of-mind, made possible with our custom structured equipment financing and leasing programs.
Getting the backup power equipment you need on a timely basis is critical:
Global Power Supply’s finance process is streamlined to get you the equipment you need as quickly as possible. Our objective is to understand your pressing needs and provide a prompt assessment and proposed financial structure to execute the transaction. We work with your budget and specifications to deliver an appropriate leasing or financing option for you.
Building Customer Relationships
At Global Power Supply, we pride ourselves on our ability to build and maintain solid customer relationships, in addition to our dedication to providing the power services you need.
We operate nationwide and provide options free from any geographical limitations. Our flexible financing options offer you the insurance you need to keep your facilities online in the event of power loss.
Commercial Finance
Our commercial finance options allow mid-sized and large companies to arrange structured debt and lease financing for critical power equipment. Our industry experience is made evident across a variety of financial work, especially crafting financial strategies for capital equipment expenditures.
Tax Deductible
In many cases, equipment lease payments may be fully tax-deductible. Under IRS Section 179, businesses may write-off the entire purchase price of equipment in the year it is acquired.
Preserve Your Credit Lines
Keep your credit lines and borrowing capabilities available for emergency situations, operational costs and short-term financing needs.
Conserve Your Cash and Working Capital
Don’t tie up your cash in equipment which you can lease over time. Keep your money available for marketing, seasonal cash flow needs and working capital.
Improve Cash Flow
Equipment leasing allows you to pay for the equipment as income is earned from its use.
Convenience
Unlike a bank, leasing is easy and convenient. Leave all of the bank paperwork behind. Simply complete a one-page application, including an equipment quote and you will have a quick response.
Eliminate Obsolescence
Keep your business current by leasing up-to-date equipment which eliminates inefficiencies and maintains business profit.
OPEX vs. CAPEX
Operational expense funding arrangements are available across the full gamut of our used and surplus new diesel generators. On-premise infrastructure can be rented or leased.
A leased Global Power Supply generator provides a relatively quick backup power infrastructure solution for a predictable monthly fee. The result is that businesses can use their capital to expand and grow their business, generating the revenue to afford continued growth while transforming what would otherwise be a large capital investment into smooth operational expense.
Capital investments impact budgets, stock price, and are heavily scrutinized for ROI often through directors or investors. Operational expense, in contrast, is expensed within the year and falls in line with critical power required business models. Rethinking OPEX derived backup power into your business could prove to be a competitive advantage.
At Global Power Supply, we are experts at providing high quality, reliable generators at competitive prices and with flexible options to meet our customers’ needs including rentals, lease, rent-to-own, and purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Generator Leasing Services & Financing Options
When you’re evaluating whether to lease a generator, it’s normal to have questions about costs, timelines, and what’s all included.
To help you make the best decision for your business, our experts have outlined answers to the most common questions customers ask about leasing with Global Power Supply.
From sizing and installation to financing and emergency support, these FAQs cover everything you need to know about securing reliable power for your operations:
What is generator leasing and how does it work?
Generator leasing is a convenient rental-based service that allows businesses to acquire dependable backup or prime power without making a large upfront investment. Instead of purchasing new or used equipment, you gain access to a custom-engineered power system and forego the stress and expenses of owning one.
With Global Power Supply, you choose a top-of-the-line generator that precisely fits your operational requirements, sign a lease agreement with flexible terms, and receive turnkey support including delivery, installation, and ongoing service. At the end of the lease, you can renew, upgrade, switch models, or explore purchase options.
What is the difference between leasing a generator and renting one?
Leasing is designed for longer-term or recurring power needs, often spanning months or years. It offers predictable, affordable monthly payments and potential buyout options.
Renting is typically short-term (days to weeks) and ideal for emergency situations, seasonal events, specialized tasks, or temporary construction projects. While rentals tend to have higher per-day or per-use costs, they are more cost-effective when you only need backup power equipment for a limited time.
Looking to rent a generator instead of lease? Explore our generator rental services and get fast deployment on diesel generators, natural gas generators, UPS power system trailers, standalone UPS power systems, and additional critical power equipment.
Why choose a generator leasing company instead of buying a backup power system?
Leasing lowers initial costs, preserves capital for other business expenses, and provides flexibility as your power requirements change. Plus, the generator leasing company typically handles maintenance, storage, transport, and any other overhead responsibilities that come with ownership.
Instead of committing to a single purchase, leasing allows you to:
- Scale up or down as needed
- Access the latest equipment technology
- Bundle maintenance and ongoing services into a budgetable payment
- Bypass long procurement lead times on new units
- Avoid wasting money on an underpowered or oversized unit
- Always have premium, well-maintained, and properly-sized equipment
This makes generator leasing especially valuable for industries facing budget constraints or rapid growth.
What types of generators can I lease from Global Power Supply?
Global Power Supply offers a broad inventory of new and used industrial generators from leading manufacturers, including diesel generators, natural gas generators, standby generators, and mobile units. We also provide custom genset enclosures, load banks, and accessories to ensure your system is fully compliant and site-ready.

Talk to our power expert team, and they’ll provide you with a tailored solution that fits your application, budget, and/or timeframe.
What size generator should I lease for my facility or project?
The size depends on your total load requirements (including both running and startup wattage), type of facility, site’s environmental conditions, and whether you need prime or standby power. Our engineering team conducts load studies and site surveys to recommend the right kilowatt (kW) rating and configuration for your project.
Safety Tip: It is crucial to choose a generator that can handle your maximum power load and includes a reserve capacity (safety margin) to avoid overheating, power outages, and potential equipment damage.
See our generator application study services for more information on detailed sizing and planning support.
Can I lease both new and used generators?
Yes. Global Power Supply provides leasing options for both new and quality-tested used generators. This flexibility allows you to balance cost savings with optimal performance requirements. Used generators are inspected, load bank tested, and serviced to meet industry standards before deployment.
How long are typical generator lease terms?
Generator lease terms can be highly flexible, normally ranging from several months to multiple years. Contract length largely depends on your project timeline and budget.
Terms are also negotiated based on the specific equipment needed and power requirements of your project, with options to extend or transition to ownership.
As a standard practice for industrial power leasing, Global Power Supply will customize agreements to fit your exact operational needs.
Do you offer seasonal or project-based generator leasing options?
Yes. Many industries, including agriculture, construction, and events, need seasonal power solutions. We provide project-based leases to accommodate your busy seasons, temporary expansions, or disaster recovery efforts.
What factors affect generator leasing costs?
Several variables determine leasing costs, including:
- Generator size (kW output) and type
- New vs. used equipment
- Lease duration
- Delivery and installation requirements
- Included services (fuel management, maintenance, and remote monitoring)
Concerned about properly managing costs? Our power expert team can carefully (and accurately) determine your power requirements to help you avoid renting the wrong-size generator, which could lead to unnecessary expenses or insufficient power.
We’ll also explain how everything else fits into your pricing plan. Contact Global Power Supply today for transparent, customized quotes that help you prepare your budget effectively.
