Business Equipment Loan Types & Features
Secured Loans
A secured equipment loan is where the asset is used to secure the loan. The company takes ownership of the asset, however the lender takes it as collateral until the loan is paid in full. This loan typically has lower interest rates due to lower risk for the lender.
Unsecured Loans
With an unsecured equipment loan, the company will not have to provide the asset as collateral. The loan approval will be based on your credit score and will generally have higher interest rates.
Fixed Rate Loans
For the duration of your equipment loan, your interest rate and repayments will remain the same. This means the amount you have to repay will not fluctuate with interest rate rises.
The Advantages of Equipment Finance For Business
Securing business equipment finance can provide the opportunity to significantly improve and grow a business’s operation without the burden of major upfront costs. One major advantage of an equipment loan is the preservation of cash flow, enabling businesses to retain crucial working capital for other operational and emergency uses. Equipment finance can also allow businesses access to the latest technology and machinery, ensuring they remain competitive and technologically relevant.
Businesses can also leverage potential tax benefits such as deductions on interest payments and depreciation. We’ll work hard to find you the most suitable equipment finance for your unique needs and ensure you understand the process every step of the way.

Understanding Lease vs. Purchase Options
When it comes to equipment finance, businesses often face the decision of leasing versus purchasing. Leasing allows businesses to use equipment without owning it, providing flexibility to upgrade as technology evolves, which can be beneficial for industries where equipment quickly becomes obsolete.
On the other hand, purchasing through a finance agreement means the business will own the equipment once the loan is paid off, potentially offering long-term cost savings. Understanding the pros and cons of each option is vital to making an informed decision that supports your business’s financial health.
Flexible Repayment Options to Suit Your Cash Flow
One of the key advantages of business equipment finance is the flexibility in repayment options. Depending on your business’s cash flow and financial projections, you can choose from various repayment structures.
These might include seasonal payments, balloon payments at the end of the loan term, or even custom repayment schedules tailored to your revenue cycles. By aligning your loan repayments with your income stream, you can manage debt more effectively and reduce the financial strain on your business.
How Equipment Finance Enhances Your Growth Potential
Investing in the right equipment can be a game-changer for your business, enhancing productivity, expanding your service offerings, and opening new revenue streams. Equipment finance enables you to make these investments without compromising your working capital.
This access to necessary resources allows you to scale your operations, take on larger projects, and improve overall business performance. By using equipment finance strategically, your business can achieve growth that might otherwise be unattainable.
The Impact of Credit Score on Equipment Finance Approval
Your business credit score plays a significant role in securing equipment finance. Lenders assess your creditworthiness to determine the risk associated with lending to your business. A strong credit score can result in more favourable loan terms, such as lower interest rates and better repayment options.
Conversely, a lower credit score might limit your options or result in higher costs. Understanding how your credit score impacts loan approval can help you prepare and potentially improve your credit rating before applying for equipment finance.
Navigating the Application Process for Equipment Finance
Applying for equipment finance can be a complex process, but with the right guidance, it becomes manageable and straightforward. At Your Advisor Group, we assist you in every step of the application process, from gathering necessary documentation to understanding the terms and conditions of your loan.
