Invest In Your Business With Equipment Financing
1st Commercial Credit's equipment financing provides buyers with the funds necessary to purchase (or lease) the equipment they need to run operations and expand. Business owners can lease almost anything, from IT equipment, computers, air conditioning services to heavy machinery equipment and vehicles. An equipment loan will help companies improve cash flow and meet ongoing business financial responsibilities, including payroll and bills.
Many businesses depend on vital equipment to get the job completed. And for some companies, new equipment can make the difference between stagnation and growth. This is why equipment financing is a great alternative for buyers.
Whatever industry your company operates in, the equipment becomes an asset you'd like to have in your business. Depending on what your business does, it could be anything from machine tools and many other different equipment types.
Types of Equipment Financing: Equipment Loans and Equipment Leasing
Many businesses need to purchase equipment for daily operations to help companies grow, expand, and improve efficiency. Unfortunately, for many small and medium-sized companies, the equipment costs may be out of their budget.
Equipment Loans
An equipment loan is a financing method that enables businesses to obtain the machinery or technology needed. In simple terms, the lending company provides a business loan based on the business’s ability to make monthly payments and establishes a loan agreement secured by the equipment.
The lender will consider the additional revenue or retained earnings as part of the debt to income ratio when making an approval with the assumption of the new equipment at the buyers facility. If the buyer fails to make payments, the equipment may be recovered or other means like personal guarantees may be imposed.
Why do business owners turn to equipment financing?
Many businesses can't afford equipment purchases because the costs of these products are usually very high. Many of these items will be out of budget for smaller businesses trying to make it or grow. In the same way, more established companies don't want to buy an expensive piece of equipment outright because they could spend the money on other things for the business. With equipment financing, the cost is spread over time, meaning the company will have some working capital left to fund payroll and invest in the facility's growth.
A company will have the equipment when it is needed, rather than waiting until cash is available. This situation is ideal for buyers because instead of waiting to gather the funds to buy the equipment upfront, they can do it by paying smaller amounts each month until the total cost is covered. As new opportunities come up for businesses, the need for additional equipment becomes more urgent. Whether a small, medium or multinational enterprise, all companies have one thing in common- cash flow is crucial for the business's health.
Financing equipment makes more sense financially for companies with solid cash reserves because it matches cost to benefit, making cash flow predictable and justifiable. Smart business owners will let the equipment pay for itself rather than using valuable working capital or bank lines to obtain equipment.
When the budget does not allow companies to invest in equipment, they are forced to put equipment purchases on hold, halting its progress. If you are looking to purchase equipment (buyer), taking advantage of equipment financing will help you do it. We don't want your cash flow to restrict your business growth. This is why when companies come to us for financing, we can provide them with hassle-free equipment lease or equipment financing solutions with a fast and easy process.

What Are The Benefits Of Equipment Finance?
There are many reasons why companies turn to equipment finance, overpaying up front out of their business's cash reserves for equipment. Here are four of those benefits:
Easier to manage and works with budgets: Equipment finance gives businesses predictable payments so the cost can be spread over time. This means that it helps manage cash flow so you can focus on running the business.
Tax advantages: Some types of equipment finance, like leasing and sale, are more tax-efficient than buying upfront. That's because when you lease a product, it becomes a monthly expense rather than an asset sitting on the balance sheet. Additionally, Section 179 of the IRC allows businesses to immediately deduct business expenses related to depreciable assets such as equipment, vehicles, and software.
Flexibility and ability to scale: If you finance equipment for a growing business, you can get more items quickly without a long wait in the future. Whether you're increasing production using a new piece of equipment or getting hold of extra equipment for expanding, equipment finance is a great way to do all that.
Access to other lines of credit: Another important reason to finance equipment rather than buy it outright is access to other lines of credit. Equipment finance is usually an expected monthly expense, which means you can get another type of business finance at the same time. This is an incredible advantage for many businesses as they could get the equipment needed and take out different financing for marketing. Another advantage of obtaining an equipment loan from 1st Commercial Credit is that they are quick and easy to get if a company is eligible. In fact, in some cases, some businesses could be approved in 24 hours or less.
This is great for companies that can't wait weeks or months to purchase, replace or repair crucial equipment. You can contact 1st Commercial Credit to find a suitable equipment loan that fulfills your business needs and goals. The length of time you can take out an equipment loan will depend on several factors. There is flexibility to finance equipment for as little as a year for several years and anywhere in between.
Leasing Equipment Is A Great Alternative To Keep Your Asset Inventory In Good Standing
Some of the benefits of leasing equipment include regular upgrades, servicing, tax efficiency, and cash flow management. Different equipment leasing arrangements offer a range of different timeframes and levels of commitment, depending on what equipment is needed. Leasing equipment involves an agreement in which the equipment is purchased to be rented for a certain period with the opportunity to buy it at the end of the rental period. The business owner does not own the equipment until the end-of-lease option is exercised, which is different from a loan. In simple words, equipment leasing is obtaining vehicles, machinery, or other equipment on a rental basis. This financing alternative avoids the need to invest capital in equipment and empty the business cash reserves. Ownership remains in the hands of the financial institution or leasing company while the business makes actual use of it.
Business owners decide to lease instead of purchasing to keep equipment costs down. Almost any type of equipment can be leased, including software, heavy machinery, and many other things. The kind of industry you're in and the kind of equipment you're considering are significant factors in determining whether to lease or buy. We have experience working with medical equipment leasing for healthcare-related businesses. The costs and several other factors will be crucial when comparing several leasing companies to ensure you get the best rate. Before starting the search, business owners should get familiar with a few different equipment finance providers and learn about the benefits each one provides. Before choosing one, the following points should be looked at:
- Make sure they have the knowledge and expertise in your industry and are open to negotiating.
- Find out if the leasing company has any outstanding litigation and an easy payment system in place.
- Before choosing a leasing company, get several price quotes from different companies and ask questions to help you gather all the information.
Asking the right questions is vital when getting a fair deal if you need equipment for your business. Some of these questions every buyer should ask include how much money is required upfront? Are the financing terms flexible? And is the tax incentive possible? These questions will help gather the appropriate information to pick the right financing partner to work with.
