First National Capital Corporation

✈️ $20MM BBJ VIP Acquisition – Done Deal With 100% bonus depreciation making its return, we’re reminded of transactions like this one from late last year. First National Capital helped an MRO facility and high-net-worth client acquire a 2000 Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) VIP valued at $20MM. The acquisition came with year-end urgency, inspection delays, and a competitive market. By streamlining documentation, accelerating inspections, and even introducing the aircraft opportunity to the client’s broker, our team ensured the deal closed smoothly before year-end—allowing the client to maximize bonus depreciation and secure operational benefits. As 100% bonus depreciation comes back into play, now is the time to start planning for year-end acquisitions. https://loom.ly/mZQrNA8 #DoneDeal #AviationFinance #BusinessJet #BonusDepreciation

After announcing our new exclusive partnership with a top PE firm across their 100+ portfolio companies, a few folks asked: “Why consolidate equipment financing with a single provider?” Here’s what the sponsor saw as key advantages: 🔹 Better pricing across the portfolio through volume leverage 🔹 Faster execution — same underwriting philosophy, repeatable process 🔹 Cleaner terms — no surprises or one-off lender issues 🔹 Visibility — one source for data, reporting, and exposure management 🔹 Portfolio support — a strategic partner for their operators, not just a lender At the fund level, this gives them a tighter grip on capex, liquidity, and leverage across assets — while giving portfolio CFOs real flexibility. We’re already seeing the impact in live transactions — and it’s just getting started. If you're thinking about a similar structure or want to compare notes, happy to share how this was set up. #PrivateEquity #EquipmentFinance #PortCoOps #GrowthCapital #StrategicFinancing

Business doesn’t stop just because deal flow has slowed. Even as private equity M&A activity has remained cautions, the operational needs inside portfolio companies haven’t hit pause. If anything, they’ve intensified. The shift we’re seeing across the lower and middle market: Fresh capital isn’t always new equity. It’s strategic. Structured. Purpose-built to unlock execution and organic growth. Whether it’s modernizing infrastructure, replacing aging equipment, or funding digital transformation, an equipment financing solution can be impactful on driving growth. The best operators aren’t waiting for the next wave of M&A, they’re focused on driving value where they already are. First National is ready and able to discuss how we can support any upcoming initiatives. #PrivateEquity #PrivateCapital #EquipmentFinance #CapitalSolutions #GrowthCapital #StructuredFinance #ValueCreation #DealMaking
