EQUIPMENT FINANCING

Equipment Financing is a loan product used to help business owners purchase any type of equipment needed to run the business. The loan amount is dependent upon the type of equipment needed, as the repayment term is usually as long as the expected life of the piece of equipment and if it is used or new. This particular financing solution usually implies a fixed interest rate and fixed term, in turn allowing for fixed, non-fluctuating payments. Equipment Financing is advantageous for many reasons:
