We offer a wide variety of financing programs for business owners. The most popular is our equipment financing programs: Equipment Leasing & Equipment Finance Agreements. We also offer Factoring (also known as “accounts receivable financing”) and working capital loans.

The majority of our programs are called “Application Only”, and that means no proof of income is necessary. Depending on the credit, time in business, type of equipment, industry, and the amount you’re seeking to finance we may need to see income. Proof of income can be as simple as your last three months’ bank statements.

If the equipment is essential for your business, we can finance it! For example, if you own a medical practice, we wouldn’t be able to finance a bulldozer for that type of business. But we can finance commercial vehicles, restaurant equipment, medical equipment, software, yellow iron, just about anything! There are some instances where we wouldn’t be able to finance a specific type of piece of equipment, but it’s always best to call and speak to one of our advisors first.

Our finance rates are very competitive within our industry, and we’ll always strive to find the best suited program with the best terms.

A lease is a contractual arrangement where one person/business (lessee), the lender/owner(lessor), owns an asset and provides possession and use of the asset to another person, the lessee, for a fixed term.

The lessor is the legal owner of the asset/equipment and the lessee has the legal right to use the asset/equipment in exchange for rental payments.

An equipment finance agreement is an alternative to the traditional lease, and it is very similar to a loan.

  • Fixed monthly payments
  • Terms ranging from 12 to 72 months

The EFA terms and conditions is similar to a lease, but it is not a lease.

At the conclusion of the equipment finance agreement, you have no future financial obligations to the lender.

Unlike a lease, an EFA will not have a buyout at the end of the term; whereas, with a lease, there will usually be a buyout to own the equipment.
