Lease Purchase Corporation

• The Nebraska Association of School Boards (NASB) formed the NASB Lease Purchase Corporation in April 1992, to assist in providing public school districts and educational service units a cost-effective way to finance the purchase of tangible assets.
• The NASB Leasing Corporation has assisted in financing all types of purchases including but not limited to the following examples: buses, cars, vans, trucks, computers, instructional equipment, portable classrooms, remodeling, grounds equipment, cafeteria equipment, office equipment and furniture, heating and cooling units, and much more.  Each school district or ESU lease application is reviewed by bond counsel to ensure that the lease meets the requirements of the law allowing for this type of borrowing.  In addition, the program allows public schools and educational service units to refinance and consolidate existing leases into one loan at the lowest possible rate available at the time.
