Equipment Financing

Equipment financing is the product we route people to when they need gear now and cannot stomach writing a six-figure check. Because the lender has a lien on the asset, they care less about your personal credit and your time in business than almost any other lender on the menu. That makes it one of the fastest ways to grow capacity without bleeding the bank account dry.

Overview

Why this product approves when nothing else will.

The lender is partly underwriting the equipment, not just you. If the loan goes sideways, they repossess the asset and resell it. That dynamic pushes credit thresholds lower, shortens the required time in business, and cuts the document burden compared with cash-flow lending. Newer shops and operators with a dinged-up personal credit report often get approved here after being turned down elsewhere.

There is a tax angle most operators underuse. Section 179 lets you expense what you spent on eligible gear in the tax year you placed it in service, up to the annual cap. Combine that with fast approvals and the lender's comfort with collateral, and the effective cost of capital often comes in below a cash purchase. Loop your accountant in before you sign, and your underwriter will coordinate.

Eligibility what we typically look for

Common questions

Things people ask before applying.

Yes. Used equipment is routinely financed. Expect the rate, the term, or the down payment to shift based on the age and condition of the asset. A ten-year-old excavator underwrites differently than a three-year-old one, but both doors are open.

It is the IRS rule that lets you expense eligible gear you bought and placed in service during the same tax year, up to the annual cap. It applies to financed purchases too, which is the part most operators miss. Check with your accountant whether your specific equipment and tax situation qualify.

Ten to twenty percent is the typical ask. Clean credit and strong financials can get you to zero down. Weaker files land closer to twenty-five percent, and the underwriter will be upfront about where you sit before you commit.

Clean files with a vendor quote and straightforward collateral often fund in one to three days. Larger deals or unusual assets can stretch that to a week. Multi-unit fleet purchases take longer because the lender inspects each asset.
