Overview

Equipment financing provides capital specifically for the acquisition of business equipment, machinery, technology, vehicles, and other capital assets. Unlike general business loans, equipment financing uses the equipment itself as collateral — enabling higher advance rates, better terms, and faster approval than unsecured financing. Equipment financing preserves working capital and cash flow by spreading the cost of major capital assets over their useful life. Whether you're acquiring manufacturing equipment, commercial vehicles, medical devices, technology infrastructure, or specialized machinery, we structure equipment financing that aligns the repayment term to the asset's productive life and your business's cash flow. Both loan and lease structures are available depending on your tax strategy and balance sheet objectives.

Financing Structures & Terms

Equipment Loan

Finance Lease (Capital Lease)

Lease structure where you effectively own the equipment for accounting purposes. Typically includes a $1 buyout or fixed purchase option at lease end.

Operating Lease

True lease where you use the equipment without ownership. Lower monthly payments, off-balance-sheet treatment, and easy equipment upgrades at lease end.

Sale-Leaseback

Sell existing owned equipment to a lender and lease it back. Unlocks capital from owned assets while retaining full use of the equipment.

Vendor Financing

Financing arranged directly through equipment vendors or manufacturers. Often includes promotional rates and terms negotiated with the vendor.
