Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy or lease equipment?
Buying makes sense for equipment with a long useful life that you'll use for years. Leasing is better for equipment that becomes obsolete quickly, or when you need to preserve cash flow and want lower upfront costs.
What is equipment depreciation?
Equipment loses value over time through depreciation. The IRS allows businesses to deduct depreciation as a business expense. Section 179 allows you to deduct the full cost in the year of purchase, up to limits.
What are typical equipment loan rates?
Equipment loan rates typically range from 5% to 15% depending on credit quality, equipment type, and loan term. New equipment and strong credit get the best rates. SBA loans may offer even lower rates.
