Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score is needed for equipment financing?

Minimum credit scores typically start at 620 for equipment loans. However, because the equipment serves as collateral, approval may be possible with lower scores depending on the down payment and overall business strength. Strong business financials can help offset credit challenges.

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes! We finance both new and used equipment. For used equipment, terms are typically shorter (matching the remaining useful life) and rates may be slightly higher. The equipment must be in good working condition and may require an inspection or appraisal for larger amounts.

What's the difference between leasing and buying?

Buying (loan) means you own the equipment and build equity. Monthly payments are higher, but you have an asset at the end. Leasing offers lower payments and flexibility to upgrade, but you don't own the equipment. Leasing is ideal for technology that becomes obsolete quickly, while buying makes sense for long-term equipment.

How long does approval take?

For most equipment financing, we can provide approvals within 24-48 hours with complete documentation. Once approved, funding can occur in as little as 3-5 business days. For specialized or high-value equipment requiring appraisal, the process may take 1-2 weeks.

Can I get 100% financing?

Yes! For qualified borrowers, we offer 100% financing on equipment purchases – meaning no down payment required. This helps preserve your working capital for other business needs. Terms and rates may vary based on the amount financed and your credit profile.
