LW Capital Corp

What LW Capital Corp does

LW Capital Corp is a privately held, direct commercial equipment lender and lessor founded in 1994 and headquartered at a single office in Newport Beach, California. The company originates financing transactions ranging from $10,000 to $350,000, structured as True Leases, Capital Leases, Specialized Leases (including Step, Deferred Payment, Early Buyout Option, and TRAC variants), Purchase/Leasebacks, and term loans. It funds all transactions from its own internal capital and performs underwriting, documentation, billing, collections, and account management entirely in-house rather than through brokers or intermediaries.

The target customer is the established U.S. business (seven or more years operating history) with strong credit, across roughly ten equipment verticals including construction, transportation, manufacturing, dental and medical practices, technology and IT, office equipment, printing and graphic arts, telecommunications, and video production. The company's stated underwriting principle is credit-quality-first and equipment-type-agnostic within that envelope. Transactions under $150,000 follow a streamlined application path (credit application plus bank statements) yielding approvals typically within 24 hours and funding within 24-48 hours of equipment acceptance; transactions of $150,000 to $350,000 require additional financial documentation and up to approximately two weeks of processing.

Revenue mechanics are derived from interest and lease payment streams on 2-7 year terms, with end-of-term purchase options ranging from $1.00 buyouts through stated FMV percentages and capped purchase prices. The product set is fully tax-strategy-aware, offering 100% tax-deductible True Lease payments and depreciation pass-through on Capital Leases. For transaction profiles better suited to other capital providers, LW Capital refers into a national network of banks, finance companies, leasing companies, and insurance companies. The company has no subsidiaries, no public ownership, no disclosed institutional backing, no app or API presence, and no certifications listed in the available data.
