secure lending, and equipment finance and leases are specialist areas with differing rules of application that require deep knowledge of the sector from the lender. For these reasons, startups seeking funding may find themselves forever searching and making applications to lender after lender without success.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The delays this can create could cause them to lose early revenue, increase their risk of failure, or leave their business vulnerable to competition. Instead, working with a broker, who can access equipment financing for startups from a wide range of lenders is a better way to go.
