Get the equipment you need without the upfront cost

Municipal purchasing available through our Sourcewell contract. Eligible state and local agencies can satisfy bid requirements without a separate RFP.

Why Finance? ↓

Why Finance?

Financing turns a large capital purchase into a predictable operating expense. It gives your team access to the equipment they need now, with the flexibility to upgrade later.

💰

Reduce upfront cost

Spread equipment costs over 36 to 60 months instead of paying out of pocket. Easier to budget, easier to approve.

📊

Stay in your operating budget

Finance payments run through your operating budget, not your capital budget. For agencies with limited CAPEX, this opens the door to equipment that wouldn't otherwise get approved.

🛡️

Make NDAA systems affordable

NDAA-compliant platforms cost more than the DJI systems most agencies are used to. Monthly Finance payments close that gap and make the transition realistic.

🔄

Keep your options open

At the end of the term you can return the equipment, upgrade to the latest system, or buy out. You're not stuck with aging technology.

✈️

SkySwap loaner coverage included

If a Financed unit goes down, Volatus ships a loaner from our pool while your equipment is repaired or replaced. No mission gaps.

📦

Finance any hardware we sell

Not limited to enterprise or NDAA systems. Any drone hardware Volatus sells is eligible for Financing through our financing partner.

Volatus Finances are designed for organizations that need reliable, compliant UAS programs without the cost and complexity of fleet ownership.

Standardize your inspection fleet across sites. Scale with consistent equipment, predictable costs, and the flexibility to upgrade at renewal.

Environmental, Construction, and Resources

Access NDAA-compliant mapping and survey systems for ongoing or project-based work without buying equipment you may not need year-round.
