The Phenom 300 has been the best-selling light jet in the world for years running — the widest cabin in class, the strongest residuals, and a charter favorite. Financing the Phenom is a conversation about the best-liquidity asset in the segment.
The Phenom 300 has topped light-jet deliveries for years, with more than 700 of the 300 family flying worldwide. For a buyer, that market leadership is more than bragging rights — it's collateral strength. The Phenom 300E has demonstrated better value retention than most direct competitors, and strong secondary-market liquidity means a lender can value the asset with confidence and you can buy knowing the aircraft won't depreciate disproportionately.
It's also a charter workhorse. NetJets and fractional operators built fleets on the Phenom 300, and its combination of the widest cabin in class, single-pilot certification, and strong short-field performance makes it a natural on Part 135 certificates — relevant if you plan to offset ownership cost through charter.
The entry Phenom 100EV/EX sits a tier below as a very light jet — a genuine owner-flown step into jets. Both finance at the turbine rate; the difference is mission and market depth.
The entry very light jet and the category-leading light jet. Both single-pilot, both turbine-rate, very different missions.
The Phenom's case is built on cabin, efficiency, and residuals. Here's the data that actually drives the ownership and financing decision.

To earn charter revenue, your Phenom must be on the operator's D085 Operations Specifications — the FAA master tail-number list. The financing and the certificate placement happen together; we structure both.
A ready package closes a Phenom in about two business days from pre-approval.
Stop treating financing like a commodity you plug in at the end. Give us the tail number and we'll build the deal around the actual aircraft — program status, year, use, and all. Soft pull, pre-approval in about two business days.
