Why Businesses Finance Equipment

Equipment purchases represent significant capital outlays that can strain working capital if paid entirely upfront. Equipment financing allows businesses to spread the cost over time while putting the equipment to work immediately.

The equipment itself typically serves as collateral, which can make equipment financing accessible even for businesses with limited credit history.

Types of Equipment That Can Be Financed

Equipment financing is available for a wide range of business assets: machinery, vehicles, trucks, trailers, medical equipment, restaurant equipment, construction equipment, technology, and more.

Both new and used equipment can typically be financed, though terms may vary.

Equipment Financing vs. Equipment Leasing

Equipment financing (a loan) results in ownership of the equipment at the end of the term. Equipment leasing involves renting the equipment for a period, with options to purchase, renew, or return at the end. The right structure depends on the type of equipment, its useful life, and your business's preferences.

What Lenders May Consider

Lenders evaluating equipment financing requests typically look at the type and value of the equipment, time in business, revenue, and credit profile. The equipment's value as collateral is a key factor.
