Finance Your Complete
AI Infrastructure
Beyond GPUs—finance your entire data center build. Compute, networking, storage, power infrastructure, and professional services in a single financing package.
GPU financing solves one piece of the puzzle. But production AI infrastructure requires more than GPUs.
You need networking fabric to connect nodes. Storage systems for datasets and checkpoints. Power distribution and cooling to keep everything running. Professional services to make it all work.
SLYD Infrastructure Financing covers the complete stack. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, purchase orders, and payment terms, bundle everything into a single financing agreement with one monthly payment.
One deal. One payment. Complete infrastructure.
What We Finance

Why Bundle Your Financing?
Simplify procurement and get better terms with consolidated financing
Separate Financing
- Multiple vendors, multiple applications
- Different approval timelines
- Multiple monthly payments
- Finger-pointing when issues arise
- Mismatched terms and conditions
- Complex procurement tracking
Bundled with SLYD
- Single application process
- Coordinated approval timeline
- One monthly payment
- Single point of accountability
- Unified agreement terms
- Simplified asset management
Simpler Procurement
One financing agreement covers everything. Less paperwork, fewer approvals, faster deployment.
Coordinated Delivery
Equipment arrives together, ready for deployment. No waiting for stragglers from separate orders.
Unified Support
One relationship for the entire stack. No vendor finger-pointing when something needs attention.
Predictable Total Cost
Know your complete infrastructure cost upfront. Budget accurately with one fixed monthly payment.
Deal Structures
Multiple approaches to match your financial strategy and business needs
Standard Equipment Financing
Fixed monthly payments over the term. Own the equipment outright at the end. Build equity in your infrastructure assets.
Best for: Companies focused on long-term ownership and asset building
Operating Lease
Off-balance sheet financing option. At term end, return the equipment, renew the lease, or purchase at fair market value.
Best for: Companies managing balance sheet metrics or preferring flexibility
Sale-Leaseback
Unlock capital from equipment you already own. Sell existing infrastructure to a financing partner and lease it back with continued use.
Best for: Companies needing liquidity from existing infrastructure investments
Build-to-Suit
Complete project financing including design, procurement, and deployment. Walk into a working data center and make monthly payments.
Best for: Companies without infrastructure expertise or project management capacity

Common Questions
What's included in "infrastructure financing"?
Everything needed for a production AI deployment: compute hardware (GPU/CPU servers), networking equipment, storage systems, power and cooling infrastructure, and professional services like deployment, architecture consulting, and training.
Can I add equipment later?
Yes, in most cases. Additional equipment can be added through a supplemental agreement, allowing you to expand your infrastructure as needs grow without starting a completely new financing process.
What if I already have some equipment?
Existing equipment can be factored in several ways: sale-leaseback to unlock capital from current assets, or we can structure financing for just the new equipment while your existing gear stays as-is.
Do you finance colocation costs?
Equipment financing typically covers hardware and related services. Ongoing colocation fees are usually separate operating expenses. However, initial setup costs and infrastructure buildout at a colo can sometimes be included.
What about construction or buildout?
Physical construction is typically separate from equipment financing. However, modular data center solutions, electrical upgrades, and cooling installations can often be included as part of the equipment package.
Can I finance equipment from any vendor?
Equipment from authorized OEM channels (Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Lenovo, Gigabyte) is easiest to finance. Grey market or secondary market equipment may have limited financing options due to warranty and provenance concerns.
