How it works

These are unsecured working-capital products, which is why they move in a day and why they price above a secured equipment note.

If the equipment is the whole use of funds and the timeline allows, a secured equipment lender or an SBA 504 will almost always be cheaper.

Where working capital wins is timing: an auction deadline, a contract that needs the machine on site Monday, or a repair that has stopped production.

What it takes

Section 179 lets many businesses deduct the full purchase price in the year the equipment is placed in service, which changes the after-tax maths substantially. Confirm with your accountant.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.

The trade-off worth knowing

Buy versus finance is a cash-flow question, not a cost question, once Section 179 is in the picture.

Restricted regardless of the numbers: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.
