The business equipment loan is an
amortizing term loan for financing specific business equipment
purchase with the security of knowing a fixed payment amount and
repayment term. This loan is secured by the equipment financed and
lender pays the loan proceeds directly to seller on behalf of
equipment user.
The business
equipment loan is easier than other forms of business
loans and lines of credit because the asset to be acquired
becomes collateral. This is even more favorable to the borrower
particularly when the equipment is for general purpose with limited
obsolescence.
