Equipment financing turns a big capital drain into a cash-flow-positive event from day one.
- Zero cash drain – 100 % of the purchase price is lent; you keep your operating cash for payroll, inventory, marketing.
- **Asset *is* the collateral** – no extra liens on real estate or blanket UCC filing on receivables; if things go south, only the machine is at risk.
- Fixed-rate, fixed-term – 24-84 mo amortization; payment equals known operating expense, making margins and DSCR predictable.
- Tax accelerator – Section 179 + bonus depreciation let you write off up to $1.22 M in year 1, often creating a larger tax saving than the down-payment.
- Obsolescence hedge – lease structures include upgrade clauses; trade in the old unit mid-term instead of owning outdated tech.
- Speed to revenue – approvals in 24-48 h, funding in 3-5 days; the new asset starts generating income before the first payment is due.
- Builds business credit – payments report to D&B & Experian; a clean 24-month history can add 20+ PAYDEX points, unlocking cheaper working-capital lines later.
Net result: you acquire income-producing assets today, pay for them with tomorrow’s cash flow, and still pocket the tax shield—leverage without personal exposure.
