What Is Equipment Finance? A Nampa, ID Answer
Equipment finance is any arrangement where the business gets the use of equipment now and pays for it over time, with the equipment as the main security. It comes in three shapes:
| Structure | Who owns it | End of term | Worth checking |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment loan | The business, from day one | Lien released when paid | Total interest and fees |
| $1 buyout lease | The lessor, until the nominal buyout | Business buys for a nominal sum | Whether taxes and fees are in the payment |
| Fair market value lease | The lessor | Return, renew or buy at the unit's value | The end-of-term price and return conditions |
Run a payment on the FMV lease payment calculator page, and read the equipment loan or lease article before choosing a structure.
