Contracting

After finding a jet to buy, your dealer will compose an offer letter. If your offer is approved, you’ll need to make the required deposit to secure the purchase; this money is placed in an escrow account when you enter into a purchase agreement.

Financing

Secure financing for a used private jet after you’ve submitted an approved offer. Your finance company of choice will need information about the transaction, including your signed purchase agreement and documentation from your organization describing your financial qualifications for the loan.


During the Financing phase, work with reputable companies that offer loans, title services, and more as you work toward owning a private jet.


Insurance
