Equipment financing for business is a secured loan or lease in which the asset you purchase serves as collateral. Lenders advance 80-100% of the equipment cost, and you repay over a term that mirrors the equipment's useful life, three years for computers, seven for delivery vans, ten for industrial machinery. Because the collateral is tangible and depreciable, underwriting focuses on cash flow, time in business, and the equipment's resale value rather than unsecured credit alone. As a broker, we compare offers from equipment financing companies, equipment loan companies, and equipment lending companies to surface the structure that fits your balance sheet.
