Key financing: why it’s unique, how it works
We understand your business and the nuances associated with single purpose storage financing, specifically CA storage and storage solutions for apples, potatoes, and onions. Because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may consider these and other facilities categorized under publication asset class 01.4 as personal property, different rules may apply with regard to property ownership, depreciation, and tax treatment.
That’s where our dedicated client service and structuring knowledge come into play. We designed a product with benefits that support the unique requirements of our agricultural clients. We can work with you and your accountant to develop a solution tailored to your business and scalable to support your immediate objectives and long-term goals.

A customized lease or loan
A Key financing option is structured to ensure the borrower/lessee has absolute ownership of the asset before the agreement terminates. There is no guesswork — the total cost of financing and ownership is clearly defined up front.
This product is not intended for speculation. Here’s how it works:
- The storage site is defined by a site survey, and the legal description is used to create a ground lease of the site from you to an affiliate of Key for a prepaid rental of $100 for the duration of the ground lease.
- The lease of the ground to our affiliate enables them to lease the ground and the storage facility back to you, allowing you to avoid a down payment and most of the costs associated with a real estate loan.
- An appraisal may not be required, which may potentially reduce your up-front costs.
- Because this is a net lease, you are responsible for insurance and proper maintenance.
- Additionally, the storage solution may be considered equipment, so other collateral or encumbrances are usually not required.
