Equipment that keeps California businesses running

California's economy is wide. Farms and packing houses in the Central Valley, kitchens and food trucks in every city, machine shops and fabricators in the Inland Empire, salons and clinics in the suburbs. Each one depends on equipment, and when a key piece fails or the business outgrows it, waiting weeks for a bank can mean lost work.

Equipment financing lets you get the machine, vehicle or tool now and pay for it over a schedule set out in your offer.

Buy, lease or finance?

Paying cash keeps you debt-free but can drain the reserve you need for payroll and slow months. Leasing can make sense for gear that goes obsolete quickly, like some electronics. Financing sits in the middle: you get the equipment working right away and spread the cost over a schedule you can see before you sign.

For illustration, a Bakersfield auto shop replacing a worn two-post lift might finance it rather than pull from the cash that covers parts orders and technician pay. The shop keeps its cushion, the new lift starts earning on day one, and the payments are known in advance. If you are unsure which route fits, start with the equipment's expected useful life and how directly it brings in revenue.

What owners finance

Have a quote from the vendor ready. It helps us size the offer to the actual purchase.

What we need from you

About three months of business bank statements and a 5-minute application. We do not ask for tax returns, and we start with a soft credit pull. FICO 500+ is considered, and sole proprietors can apply. We fund established businesses with steady deposits, with amounts from $25,000 up to $5,000,000.

If your equipment is broken right now and costing you jobs, our equipment repair funding page covers faster fixes that are not a full replacement.

Read the offer, then decide

Your offer shows the full repayment amount and the repayment schedule before you accept, and no surprise costs show up after you sign. Weigh that against what the equipment will produce: more covers, more jobs per day or less downtime.
