What Is Equipment Financing?
Equipment Financing is used to fund the equipment purchases for your business. Financing takes the form of either a loan or a lease. The main difference between the two is, with a loan you own the asset during the life of the loan, whereas a for a lease, the lending company owns the asset during the life of the lease.
That said, we prefer the benefits of equipment leasing which allows you to completely write off the entire monthly lease payment (as opposed to just the interest) while providing you the option of purchasing the equipment at the end of the lease.
How does Equipment Financing Work?
Similar to leasing a car, equipment leasing involves purchasing the equipment and paying off the lease on a monthly basis until the end of the leasing term.
- You choose the equipment you want and provide invoices from the vendor, making sure to include all shipping, installation, and setup fees.
- You fill out a simple lease application specifying the term and type of lease you prefer.
- After your lease is approved, we will purchase the equipment and have it delivered and installed (if applicable) at a time specified by you.
- You make fixed monthly payments for the term you have chosen, enjoying the benefits of the equipment as though you own it.
At the end of the lease, as written in the lease contract, you have a few options:
- Return the equipment
- Purchase the equipment for its Fair Market Value
- Purchase the equipment for the equivalent to 3 monthly payments
- Purchase the equipment for 10% of the cost
- Purchase the equipment for $1
- Extend the leasing agreement for another term
Another option, if you currently own the equipment, is to sell the equipment to our leasing company for an immediate cash injection and then lease the equipment back and pay it off as a normal lease.
Which option you choose depends on your need and the life expectancy of the equipment you are financing.
How Can I Use My Equipment Financing Funds?
You can use the funds for pretty much any equipment related to your business enterprise:
- Heavy machinery
- Tools
- Point-of-sale terminals
- Construction equipment
- Furniture
- Computer systems
- Semi-trucks and repair garage systems
- Medical equipment
- Cannabis Manufacturing/Lab Equipment
How Can I Qualify For Equipment Financing?
The longer you’ve been in business, the higher your credit score, the better your cash flow and the more collateral you have, the better will be your financing terms as well as the amount of financing available to you. That said, we have affiliates that will overlook either of those attributes. In general, you must have meet the following minimum guidelines:- 2 Years in Business*
- $150k in Annual Revenue
- A FICO score of 680
*we do have programs for startups with a financing cap of $50k
What Are The Advantages of a Equipment Financing?
- Tax Advantages
Perhaps the most significant advantage to Equipment Leasing is the asset is not on your balance sheet It’s on the balance sheet of the lender. So you can write off 100% of the lease for the duration of the term
- Conservation of Credit Lines
Leasing acts as an additional credit line, leaving existing credit lines available for other uses.
- Fixed Payments
With payments fixed throughout the duration of the lease, you will never have to worry about an increase.
- Savings
A lease is paid for with before tax dollars rather than after tax dollars.
- Avoidance of Equipment Obsolescence
Leasing protects you against equipment obsolescence and allows you the freedom to upgrade or add equipment as your needs change.
What Are The Disadvantages of Equipment Financing?
- Higher cost than a traditional term loan
- No ownership or equity in the leased asset unless you ultimately purchase it
- Limited accessibility for new business owners
- Depending on the amount required, your business will have to be in existence for at least 2 years
