Equipment Financing FAQ

Questions business owners often ask.

Can I finance used equipment?

Often yes. Eligibility can depend on the equipment type, age, condition, valuation, useful life and seller. Older or highly specialized assets may have different requirements.

Can equipment be purchased from a private seller?

Some lenders consider private-sale equipment transactions, subject to additional seller, ownership and asset verification. It is best to confirm eligibility before committing to the purchase.

Do I need a down payment?

Possibly. Borrower contribution requirements vary based on the asset, purchase amount, business profile, lender and overall transaction structure.

How long are equipment financing terms?

Terms vary. Lenders generally consider the equipment's expected useful life, age, financing amount and borrower profile when determining an appropriate structure.

Is the financed equipment used as collateral?

In many equipment-financing structures, the lender registers a security interest against the financed asset. The exact security requirements will be disclosed by the lender.

Can taxes or related purchase costs be financed?

That depends on the lender and program. Ask for a complete breakdown of which transaction costs may be included in the financed amount.

Does applying guarantee approval?

No. Financing availability, approval, rates and terms are subject to the lender's underwriting criteria and review of the complete application and transaction.
