Preserving operating cash
Equipment purchases can tie up significant cash that might otherwise support payroll, inventory and unexpected expenses. Financing can spread the acquisition cost over time.
Evaluate the economics
Estimate the revenue or efficiency the equipment can create, its useful life, required down payment, payment schedule, and total financing cost. Also account for maintenance, insurance and downtime.
Compare options
Equipment loans, leases and other business funding products differ in ownership, tax treatment, flexibility and repayment obligations. Consult qualified advisors for tax and legal implications.
