Equipment financing

Finance the purchase of expensive equipment to spread the cost over a period & reduce the strain on your cashflow

Read this article to me

Upgrading or replacing equipment your business needs quickly and economically is very important in order to keep the business operating efficiently or to meet increasing demand. Any tangible asset other than property used in the operation of a business may be considered business equipment.

Purchasing the equipment outright can put a substantial strain on your cash flow so many businesses choose to finance expensive equipment to spread the cost over the useful life of the asset in order to make it more accessible. Other times, the business will want to use the capital to invest in other areas. Most of the time, the equipment itself is used as collateral for the loan.
