Equipment Financing FAQs
Clear answers on approval timelines, documentation, credit requirements, and how to maximize the tax benefits of your equipment lease.
- What types of equipment can be leased?
- Almost any business equipment can be leased — manufacturing machinery, forklifts, IT hardware, medical equipment, construction equipment, vehicles, and more. If your business needs it, we can likely structure a lease for it.
- How long does the approval process take?
- Most applications receive a decision within 24-48 business hours. Once approved and documents are signed, funding typically occurs within 3-5 business days.
- What credit score do I need?
- Credit requirements vary by lender and equipment type. We work with a wide network of funders, which means we can often find solutions for businesses with less-than-perfect credit histories. Startups and newer businesses are also welcome to apply.
- How much does leasing cost?
- Lease payments depend on the equipment cost, lease term (typically 24-72 months), credit profile, and end-of-term structure. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can compare options before committing.
- Is there a down payment required?
- Many of our lease programs require little to no down payment. Some structures may require first and last payment upfront, but full 100% financing is available in many cases.
- What happens at the end of the lease?
- At lease end, you typically have three options: return the equipment, purchase it at fair market value or a predetermined price, or extend the lease. We will structure your agreement to match your long-term goals from the start.
- Can I lease equipment if my business is new?
- Yes. We have programs designed for startups and businesses with shorter operating histories. Terms may differ from established businesses, but options are available.
- Is leasing better than a bank loan?
- Often yes — leasing is faster, requires less collateral, preserves your credit lines, and may offer tax advantages. We are happy to walk through a side-by-side comparison for your specific situation.
