What each trade tends to buy

Restaurants

Ovens, refrigeration, hoods and point-of-sale hardware. A failed cooler can mean a lost day of inventory. See Allen restaurants.

Contractors

Trucks, trailers, tools and lifts. A truck that cannot run is a crew that cannot work. See Allen construction.

Healthcare practices

Exam chairs, imaging devices and sterilizers. A missing machine can slow every patient. See Allen healthcare.

The question that decides the purchase

  1. What does this machine let me do that I cannot do now?
  2. What does a day without it cost?
  3. Can I rent or share it instead?
  4. What will it cost to run?

If the first two answers are clear and the third is no, the purchase is likely worth pursuing.

Equipment financing in plain words

In general, equipment financing is money for buying a specific machine or vehicle. It suits a purchase with a known price. It is not meant for a repeating cash gap, which is better matched by a business line of credit. We consider funding from $25,000 to $5,000,000, funding can arrive in as little as 24 hours, the application takes about five minutes with a soft credit pull, and sole proprietors can apply. Terms are in the offer.

A purchase example, for illustration only

A dental or medical practice needs a $45,000 imaging device. It will let the practice offer a service it now refers out. The owner estimates how many procedures per month the machine will support and whether the revenue covers the cost. These are round numbers for the example, not terms we offer. Doing that arithmetic first is better than buying and hoping.

Planning for the first ninety days of ownership

A new machine rarely pays for itself on day one. There is installation or setup, training, insurance, maintenance supplies and sometimes a slower first month while the team learns. An Allen restaurant adding a second line of equipment will lose some time during setup. A contractor adding a truck needs a driver and fuel before the truck earns a dollar. Planning for that ramp-up, with a cushion set aside, is as important as getting the purchase right. A working-capital or line-of-credit conversation can sit alongside the equipment conversation, because they solve different parts of the same decision.
