Equipment Financing FAQs

You’re only a few clicks away from the capital you need to reach your full potential.

It’s not very hard to get business equipment financing. In fact, in many cases, it’s actually easier to get approved for business equipment financing than other types of loans. All you need to qualify is a FICO score of at least 650, 2+ years of business history and at least $100,000 in annual revenue. 

With business equipment financing, the materials you’re purchasing will act as collateral for the loan. This gives lenders an extra layer of security – which in turn improves your approval odds. 

IBA has business equipment financing options for all types of businesses, and you’ll find it’s easier to get approved compared to traditional banks. Plus, the application process is fast and straightforward. There’s no need to go back and forth collecting numerous documents. IBA’s application process for business equipment financing is designed to be completed in about a minute. Funding times for your loan can be as fast as 2 days or less.

You’ll typically be able to finance used equipment for 1 to 5 years. If the equipment you are purchasing isn’t too expensive, you may be able to get a shorter-term loan. 

The repayment term on your business equipment loan is important because it represents how long you’ll be in debt as well as the overall cost of financing. Longer-term loans feature lower monthly payments but can be more expensive over the loan’s lifetime. Shorter-term loans have higher monthly payments, but you’ll be in debt for less time and save on interest fees overall. 

Still, many businesses will select a repayment term based on the monthly payment amount they can afford. Make sure to consult with one of our Business Financing Advisors to help you understand which would work best for your scenario.

Yes! It is possible to secure startup equipment financing even with bad credit. You’ll need to have at least 2+ years of business history and $100,000 in annual revenue in order to bypass credit score requirements. 

IBA fills in the gaps where banks and traditional financing options fall short – especially when it comes to financing startups. With a FICO score requirement of at least 650, IBA is inherently more flexible. But even if your credit score is lower than 650, you may still be able to access financing solutions catered to your needs.

There are several types of equipment financing available, so it’s necessary to identify a business’ needs as well as each lender’s eligibility requirements and costs. Evaluate these factors when choosing an equipment financing loan.

Business Needs

Before choosing an equipment financing loan, evaluate why the financing is necessary and whether the equipment will help the business improve efficiency or otherwise add to its bottom line. Ultimately, each business’ needs dictate the type and size of equipment financing loan it needs. In some cases, equipment financing may not be the best option, or purchasing new equipment may not be a savvy business decision.

Eligibility Requirements

It’s necessary to look at eligibility requirements when comparing equipment financing so you know whether you’re likely to qualify for a loan at a competitive rate. Eligibility requirements vary by lender, but equipment financing companies generally consider these eligibility factors:

Cost

Equipment loan borrowers generally pay interest rates spanning anywhere from 2% to 20%. However, equipment financing also may come with application fees and origination fees that add to the overall cost. Business owners should expect to pay origination fees equal to around 3% of the total loan amount, although this cost can vary from lender to lender. Finally, most equipment financing requires a down payment of around 15% or 20% of the purchase price, though this number varies, and some lenders don’t require down payments at all.
When choosing an equipment financing loan, it’s best to compare providers based on the factors above.

Interest rates range from 7% to over 50%, depending on the lender you’re working with, the financial background of your business, and the economic conditions surrounding the transaction. Equipment financing rates mirror those of secured financing products, as the purchased equipment serves as collateral for the loan.

Equipment loans are generally longer term. Repayment ranges from 2 to 5 years on average, but some lenders offer prepayment discounts, which allow you to shorten your repayment schedule considerably.
