WHAT IS EQUIPMENT FINANCING?
Equipment financing is a loan that helps you purchase new business equipment right away by using that equipment as collateral. Car loans and leases are a form of Equipment Financing.

Applying Does Not Affect Your Credit!

Equipment financing can be a fast and simple way to fund up to 100% of the value of whatever you need to run your business. Qualifying businesses can borrow funds to purchase necessary equipment, everything from bulldozers to barbeques, where the equipment itself serves as collateral for the loan. Also with a Sale Leaseback Agreement, you may be able to borrow money against equipment you already own, and use that cash for expansion or other needs.

Who Qualifies?
As it turns out, most businesses can qualify for equipment financing regardless of the lack of "equipment".
How much you qualify for—and the interest rate you’ll pay—depends on the value of that equipment, your business’s financial history, and your credit score.
Equipment financing can be a great option if your credit rating is less than perfect, too, since the equipment acts as collateral. In fact, equipment lenders are just as concerned with what’s securing their loan as with your borrowing history.
