What is Equipment Financing?
Equipment financing allows you to purchase or lease business-critical equipment through monthly payments rather than paying the full cost upfront. The equipment itself serves as collateral, often making approval easier and rates more competitive than unsecured loans.
Whether you need manufacturing machinery, commercial vehicles, restaurant equipment, or technology infrastructure, our platform matches you with specialized lenders who understand your industry.

Finance vs. Lease: Which is Right for You?
Equipment Financing (Loan): You own the equipment at the end of the term. Better for equipment you'll use long-term and that retains value. Monthly payments typically build equity.
Equipment Leasing: Lower monthly payments, equipment returned or purchased at end of lease. Ideal for technology that becomes obsolete quickly or when you want to upgrade regularly. May offer tax advantages.
Who Qualifies?
- At least 2 years in business (some lenders accept 1 year)
- Equipment must be for business use
- Equipment serves as collateral (no additional collateral typically required)
