Equipment Financing for New Business Owners by Fredrick Durrenmatt

Chances are that you will need to think about equipment financing if you are starting a new business from the ground up. There are many different types of equipment financing, and many different things that you can finance, such as a truck, trailer, backhoe, excavator, walk-in refrigerator, copier, fax or computer system. Qualifying for equipment financing can often be very difficult, too, especially when a business owner has not yet begun to earn revenue on their scheduled projects.
Many business owners are faced with difficult equipment financing decisions, which is why many opt for an equipment lease program. When you choose an equipment lease program, you don’t have to worry about qualifying for a loan from a bank because of your past credit issues or lack of credit. Unlike other types of equipment financing, lease programs have very flexible terms and they don’t require a down payment, and you can even qualify if you have bad credit.
He companies that offer equipment finance and leasing programs are eager to get those pieces of heavy machinery and office equipment out of their warehouses, because every piece of equipment that remains in an off-lease status is costing them money. An equipment lease program can provide many benefits over other types of equipment financing, especially for a growing company. Here are a few of the benefits that entrepreneurs can enjoy with an equipment lease program:
* Financing is often available for credit scores below 600.
* Leasing often requires only the first month payment to begin rather than the typical first and last payment and a security deposit.
* There is often no down payment required, or a very small down payment.
* Lease terms are often as long as 60 months, or as short as 36 months. The longer terms lower monthly payments for the new business owner.
* Equipment leasing firms often offer as much as 20% residual financing.
* There are relaxed requirements for business organization type and time-in-business.
