Tax benefits of equipment financing

Equipment financing can offer some attractive tax benefits for businesses.1 Here are a few key advantages:


Section 179 Deduction: This allows you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it's placed in service, potentially leading to significant tax savings.

Bonus Depreciation: You can deduct a percentage of the cost of new and used equipment in the first year, further reducing your tax burden.

Interest Expense Deduction: The interest you pay on your equipment financing loan is typically tax-deductible, lowering your overall taxable income.


These tax benefits can make equipment financing a smart and cost-effective way to acquire the assets your business needs to grow and succeed.



Important Note: Tax laws are complex and can change, so it's always best to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific benefits available to your business.

  • What is equipment financing?

    Equipment Financing: A Smarter Way to Invest in Your Business


    Equipment financing lets your business acquire the machinery, vehicles, or tools it needs without the burden of paying the full cost upfront. Instead, you can spread the payments over time, keeping your budget manageable while supporting your growth.

  • How is equipment financing different then equipment leasing?

    Understanding the Difference Between Equipment Leases and Equipment Loans  


    The key distinction between an equipment lease and an equipment loan lies in flexibility and ownership:  


    - Equipment Lease: Involves a fixed term where you pay a monthly rental fee, typically without prepayment benefits. Ownership isn’t guaranteed, and terms vary depending on the lease structure.  

    - Equipment Loan: Offers greater flexibility, allowing you to pay off the loan early, with any remaining interest forgiven. Once the loan term ends, you fully own the equipment.  


    Types of Equipment Leasing Structures:  

    1. Equipment Financing Agreement (EFA): Fixed payments over a set term, leading to full ownership of the equipment.  

    2. Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease: Fixed payments over a term, with options to return the equipment, renew the lease, or purchase it at its fair market value at the end.  

    3. Purchase Upon Termination (PUT) Lease: Requires you to purchase the equipment at a predetermined percentage of the original cost once the lease term ends.  


    What About Equipment Financing? 

    Equipment financing provides funding for outright ownership. You’ll make fixed monthly payments, which include both principal and interest. At the end of the financing term, the equipment is fully yours, free and clear.

  • Pros and cons of equipment loans?

    The Pros and Cons of Equipment Financing  


    Equipment financing offers a smart way to grow your business by enabling you to acquire new equipment while spreading the costs over time. A major advantage is that the asset itself often serves as collateral, so no additional collateral is typically required. Upgrading your equipment can help increase your revenue potential and expand the reach of your services.  


    However, equipment financing has its limitations. Funds can only be used for equipment purchases and sometimes related soft costs, such as taxes or delivery fees. In contrast, other financing options, like small business loans or lines of credit, offer greater flexibility in how funds are used.  


    Pros of Equipment Financing

    - Helps scale your business.  

    - Allows you to spread out large capital expenses.  

    - Requires no additional collateral beyond the equipment itself.  

    - Equipment purchases may qualify for tax deductions.  


    Cons of Equipment Financing 

    - Funds are restricted to equipment purchases.  

    - Equipment may become outdated and need replacement.  


    Weigh your options and choose the solution that best supports your business goals!

    Funded amount

    Interest rate

    Term

    Collateral


  • How long is a equipment loan?

    The duration of your equipment financing agreement can be customized to align with your business goals and financial 

    preferences.


     While typical terms span from 1 to 10 years, we'll work with you to determine the ideal repayment schedule that suits your specific circumstances. 


  • How hard is to get a equipment loan?

    Qualifying for equipment financing is often simpler than other business financing options since the equipment itself serves as collateral for the loan.

  • Why is equipment financing important?

    Equipment financing enables you to grow your business without depleting your cash reserves by covering the full cost upfront. 


    Additionally, it’s easier to qualify for because the equipment itself acts as collateral, making it a practical and accessible funding option.

  • What are the requirements to qualify for equipment loan?

    Qualifying for Equipment Financing


    While specific requirements may vary depending on the lender and the type of equipment you're seeking, here are some general guidelines:


    Annual Revenue:  Lenders typically look for businesses with a minimum annual revenue of $50,000.

    Credit Score: A credit score of 520 or higher is generally preferred.

    Time in Business: some products welcome business in business as little as 6 months, while others may require a minimum operational history (e.g., two years).
