Equipment Financing & Leasing

Match the structure to the equipment, useful life, and business objective.

Equipment may be acquired through a loan, lease, or other asset-supported structure. A loan is generally designed around ownership; a lease may prioritize cash conservation, usage, or end-of-term flexibility. Availability and accounting or tax treatment vary, so review the provider documents with your advisors.
