A business only has so much cash-on-hand to spend on overhead, new opportunities, unexpected expenses and other costs.
Equipment Financing is for businesses that use equipment in their day-to-day operations, it can help businesses to keep as much cash in-house as possible.
Obtaining Equipment Financing provides accessible cash flow
Equipment Financing does not exhaust business bank lines of credit while conserving working capital.
Equipment Financing helps businesses hedge against the risk of inflation because placing a large down payment on new equipment or paying for the total cost in full at one time binds up the free cash a business has saved thereby the business pays higher amounts due to inflation.
Equipment Financing allows businesses to make a series of payments over a set period of time, it is the lender whom will be the one who absorbs the devaluation of these payments over the time of the financing term due to inflation.
An Equipment Loan is a type of business loan that allows you to buy new and sometimes used equipment immediately to meet the needs of a business while it makes agreed upon fixed monthly loan payments.
The business owns the equipment outright as soon as the debt from the loan has been paid off.
As the loan is secured by the equipment, it is more easier for a business to apply for and receive approval for the loan than with other forms of business loans. Most Financial Institutions like banks most often lend 80%-100%, then requiring a down payment at the closing of the loan, with the duration of the loan ranging from three to even seven years.
With Equipment Financing there are variable financing periods available which can meet the conditions needed by most businesses.
Small Business Equipment Financing for a small business will involve making a down payment, often set between 10%-30% of the total cost of the equipment.
This initial down payment amount can be covered by pledging assets as collateral or by using cash reserves of the business.
After the down payment, the business will make regular monthly payments, similar to a traditionally financed loan. This covers the remaining part of the loan.
Equipment Financing is known to be extremely flexible; it can be applied to new vehicles and machinery even when these such items are used-pre-owned.
Sometimes a lender grants businesses to provide the inclusion of their auxiliary costs examples being: shipping cost, maintenance cost and also any installation cost in their financing program.
This is greatly useful for startup business endeavors, helping businesses to manage their cash flow more closely.
Equipment Financing generally will allow for businesses of any industry to finance their equipment for terms of up to 84 months.
Businesses owners can receive fixed monthly payments and purchase the form of equipment they require to grow their business.
Some lenders provide 0% down programs for qualifying businesses.
Equipment Financing programs report to credit bureaus thus building the credit of the business.
Since lenders use the equipment as collateral, this allows a business to make equipment purchases of large items.
By using the equipment as the collateral of the loan, this allows a business to qualify for more lower rates than other unsecured working financial options.
This also helps with obtaining higher approval rates for businesses with lower credit.
It is vital for a business to have the right equipment available at the time it is need.
Businesses that are currently renting equipment, can cut their payment cost, by implementing Equipment Financing.

Equipment Financing is similar to equipment leasing, the credit provider (Lender) remains the owner of the machinery until such time the business has fully repaid the agreed upon value for the equipment the business has purchased.
