Long-time equipment finance and leasing veteran Lee Bergeron announced the launch of Taunton Commercial Capital. The new startup will help businesses, non-profits and government agencies nationwide find ways to lease equipment or finance capital upgrades.

Bergeron, who has more than 30 years of experience in the equipment finance industry, said the company will handle a wide range of transactions designed to help its clients expand their operations in the most cost-effective way possible. TCC will work with banks, lending institutions and lease companies to offer facility leases, tax-exempt financing, operating leases and other options.

“One of our main goals is to connect investors and innovators,” Bergeron said. “We want to help companies and leaders by offering practical ways that our resources can help them execute their plans.”

Newtown, CT-based TCC’s main focus will be on helping businesses finance and lease equipment, particularly in the healthcare, manufacturing and information technology sectors. It offers leasing and financing plans for the purchase of major software as well as equipment.

“For businesses that want to upgrade their equipment or software, the prices can be daunting, but those upgrades are necessary for them to grow,” Bergeron, who has started and run businesses in numerous industries, said. “We work with a variety of partners, so we’re also able to ensure our customers are getting the best possible rates for their lease or financing.”

The company offers support and advice for clients throughout the planning and acquisition stage.

“We have an experienced team that crafts leases to help businesses minimize federal income tax liability, maximize accounting objectives and customize cash-flow solutions to their budget,” Bergeron said.
