Can you explain how equipment financing works and how it differs from traditional equipment finance methods?
Equipment financing is a type of loan that businesses can use to purchase equipment or machinery. The loan is typically secured by the equipment itself, so if the borrower defaults on the loan, the lender can repossess the equipment. Equipment financing is often used by businesses that need to purchase expensive equipment but don't have the cash on hand to pay for it upfront.
Traditional equipment finance methods involve working with a lender, typically a bank or other financial institution, to secure a loan. The lender will typically require a down payment, and the borrower will make monthly payments to pay off the loan over time. The interest rate and other terms of the loan will vary depending on the borrower's creditworthiness and the lender's underwriting criteria.
