Financing
Buy. Lease. Or pay monthly. Your CFO picks.
Equipment finance, capital leases, and Robotics-as-a-Service. We quote all three on every deal — including AI-guided lifetime service from Farhand Relay.
Three ways to finance a fleet
01
Capex purchase
Outright purchase. You own the asset, depreciate it over 5–7 years (potentially Section 179 in year one), and capture all residual value at end of life.
Best when: deployment is 5+ years, you have capex room, and you want the lowest TCO.
02
Equipment lease
24, 36, or 60-month terms via our equipment-finance partners. FMV (fair market value) or $1 buyout structures. OpEx treatment preserves working capital.
Best when: you want a fixed monthly OpEx line and the option to refresh hardware at end of term.
03
Robotics-as-a-Service
Single monthly fee covering hardware, Farhand Relay software, AI-guided service, parts under warranty, and uptime guarantee. Zero upfront.
Best when:deployment horizon is <24 months, you want zero upfront, or you want to test a workflow before committing to capex.
RaaS pricing ballparks
All-in monthly — hardware, software, service, parts, uptime. We quote your specific fleet against your specific workload.
| Category | RaaS / mo per unit | Typical capex outright |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning robots | $400–$1,200 | $11K–$50K per unit |
| Delivery robots | $300–$700 | $9K–$35K per unit |
| AMRs (warehouse) | $1,500–$4,000 | $40K–$200K per unit |
| Cobots / industrial arms | $1,500–$3,500 | $28K–$80K per unit + fixturing |
| Humanoid (pilot) | $5,000–$15,000 | $30K–$120K per unit |
Who we work with
We work with multiple equipment-finance partners across the capital-lease, operating-lease, and equipment-loan space. The right partner depends on your credit profile, deal size, and preferred structure — so we shop the deal across our network instead of locking you into one lender.
RaaS contracts are typically held directly by Farhand against the underlying brand inventory. For larger deployments (>$1M) we structure asset-backed RaaS through specialized robotics-finance vehicles.
