What is an Equipment Loan?

An equipment loan is a type of loan intended to help businesses purchase necessary equipment for their business. Business equipment loans are used for any equipment needed to produce, manufacture or process products. They can be used for computers and technology supplies, special machinery, industrial equipment, and more. All of these materials help businesses operate at their best capacity.

How Equipment Loans Work

Loans are different than leasing when it comes to business equipment. Loans are best if you have at least 20% to put down on a piece of equipment. They work by giving businesses funds to replace old or broken equipment, buy new equipment for the purpose of expansion, or add more items of the same kind to your equipment inventory.
