Equipment that earns its keep

When a CNC machine goes down in a Waterloo fabrication shop, or a Davenport restaurant's walk-in cooler quits in July, waiting weeks for a bank decision costs real money. Equipment financing lets established Iowa businesses get the machinery they need and pay for it over time from the revenue it helps produce.

How the review works

We look at your business bank deposits first. About three months of statements and a 5-minute application are usually enough to get started, with a soft credit pull at the beginning. FICO scores of 500 and up are considered, no tax returns are required, and sole proprietors can apply.

Funding ranges from $25,000 to $5,000,000, so it covers a single piece of equipment or a broader upgrade, depending on what your deposits support.

Questions to ask before you finance

Equipment is a long-lived investment, so it pays to slow down for a moment even when you need to move fast. Before you accept any offer, work through a short list:

For illustration, a Council Bluffs commercial bakery replacing a deck oven might weigh the cost of lost wholesale orders during an outage against the offer in front of it. An Iowa City auto shop adding a second lift might compare the extra jobs per week against the payment. Your offer lays out the full repayment amount so the math is straightforward.

Iowa owners are practical by nature. Equipment financing should be a practical decision too, based on numbers you can see before you sign.

Before you sign

Your offer spells out the full repayment amount and the schedule before you accept. Get a quote from your equipment vendor, compare it to the offer, and make sure the payment fits your monthly cash flow. Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours.
