New Purchases

After a down payment, our lenders will provide up to 75% of the purchase cost of new equipment. Loan rates are based on the market value of that equipment, which is often used as collateral on the loan.

Leasing

Sometimes, purchasing equipment isn’t the best option. When equipment needs frequent repair or upgrades, it can be more cost-effective to lease that equipment from a lender. The company that owns the leased equipment often handles maintenance and upgrades.

Sales-Leaseback

To extract equity from equipment your business already owns, you can sell that equipment without having to part with it. The new owner provides a lump sum payment and allows you to lease it back in regular installments.
