Equipment Financing: Buy the Machinery Your Business Needs Without Draining Cash

Whether you need excavators, CNC machines, commercial ovens, medical equipment, or fleet vehicles, equipment financing lets you acquire what you need without a massive upfront payment. The equipment itself serves as collateral, making this one of the easiest types of business financing to qualify for.

How Equipment Financing Works

A lender provides the capital to purchase equipment. The equipment serves as collateral for the loan. You make fixed monthly payments over 2-7 years. At the end of the term, you own the equipment outright.

Benefits

  • Preserve cash: Keep your working capital for operations
  • Easy approval: Equipment is the collateral, so approval is easier than unsecured loans
  • Tax benefits: Section 179 deduction lets you write off the full purchase price
  • Fixed payments: Know exactly what you owe each month
  • Fast funding: 24-48 hours in many cases

What Qualifies

Almost any business equipment: construction machinery, restaurant equipment, medical devices, manufacturing equipment, trucks and vehicles, technology hardware, salon equipment, fitness equipment, and more.
