Tax-exempt financing
Tax-exempt Financing for your Capital Budget
Problem "My not-for-profit hospital needs to invest in capital equipment now, but conventional tax-exempt financing takes too long and costs too much."
Solution A TECn agreement that gives you quick access to the tax-exempt financing you need... today and in the future.

Fast, simplified access to tax-exempt dollars for capital acquisitions
Check out the comparison to public bonds

Most 501(c)(3) not-for-profit healthcare providers dread the time, effort and expense involved in securing tax-exempt financing for their major capital acquisitions.

With conventional public bond financing, for example, it could take 6-9 months - or even longer - to complete all the paperwork and get the necessary approvals. Then, should you want to make additional capital acquisitions, the entire process begins all over again. That's why we developed TECn ("tax-exempt capital to the nth power") agreements. To give you fast, simplified access to the tax-exempt funds you want...to acquire the capital assets you need.


Here are some of the advantages that make TECn financing a preferred solution
  • Only one standardized master agreement needs to be completed
  • Simplified documentation minimizes the need for investment bankers, financial advisers, rating agencies, trustees, paying agents, and liquidity facilities
  • The need for credit enhancements is minimized; feasibility studies and complex disclosure rules are not required
  • As the originator, GE approves the credit and structure, assuring faster loan approvals
  • Reduced issuance costs provide for low, all-inclusive financing rates
  • Quick, easy, inexpensive access to additional tax-exempt funds whenever required (subject to credit approval)
  • Your savings accumulate with each transaction
  • Can also be used for certain capital equipment upgrades
  • Complete disclosure of all costs, rates and contract terms

Flexible financing protects you
As a leader in capital financing for healthcare providers around the world, GE Healthcare Financial Services understands your need for predictability and security. A TECn agreement addresses these needs in many ways.


It's fast
With TECn financing, your tax-exempt funds will usually be available in an escrow account within 60-90 days from signing the proposal (depending on the issuing authority).


It's renewable
Once you've used TECn financing the first time, it's even easier to obtain additional tax-exempt funds for new projects. For example, purchase a GE MR scanner with TEC1, upgrade your communication system with TEC2, equip a new women's health center with TEC3. Just tell us when you're ready to make another purchase and we'll launch the process.
