Equipment financing

Financing secured by the equipment.

PSG sends equipment requests to participating lenders that finance the asset itself. You can buy from a dealer, refinance equipment you already own or free up cash with a sale-leaseback. The application covers the equipment and the company that will run it.

  • Restaurant, retail, construction, transportation, medical and manufacturing equipment
  • New and used purchases, refinancing and sale-leaseback
  • For companies with the equipment chosen and a vendor quote in hand

Start with the equipment

What is the transaction?

Equipment lenders commonly advance 80–100% of cost. A down payment is not always required.

The equipment and the business

The equipment secures the loan. The business that runs it is what sizes it.

Is the equipment new or used?

New equipment carries the longest terms and the highest advance against cost.

Hours, miles and the serial number are what a lender uses to value used equipment. Leave them blank on a new unit.

The address of the business taking on the debt, which is also where the equipment will be based.

Profit after operating expenses, before the payment on this equipment. The loan is sized off this number.

The business

The entity that will sign the note and operate the equipment.

Enter 0 if the business was formed this year.

Loan amount requested Equipment cost, less your down payment —

The guarantor

The owner is underwritten alongside the equipment. This is your half. We already have your name and how to reach you.

Your capacity

Cash and marketable securities, before the down payment.

Ownership
Will anyone else own 20% or more of the business?

Anyone at 20% or more personally guarantees the loan.

What the lender needs on the equipment

The quote is what prices the loan, and the bank statements are what size it. Those are the documents every equipment file starts with.

Attach what you have. Nothing here holds up the review. The rest can go up later in your secure application.

Supporting documents

A personal financial statement, the current equipment schedule, an appraisal on a used unit, insurance certificates, and anything else already in hand. No limit on how many.

    PDF, JPG, PNG, Excel or Word, up to 100 MB per file. Titles, the UCC search and proof of insurance come later in the secure application.

    Review and submit

    Check the numbers on the equipment. You can go back and change anything.
