Reasons to get business equipment finance
Many small businesses will find that they have an opportunity to increase sales but can’t keep up with demand. Business equipment financing will enable you to purchase new or additional equipment to increase both production and profits while maintaining positive cash flow.
For businesses looking to grow and update their processes, equipment finance loans can be used to upgrade an old piece of equipment to a newer, more efficient model or invest in upgraded business software and systems.
For contractors and sole traders, a work vehicle can be integral to your business. Equipment finance can be used as vehicle finance to upgrade an old workhorse or purchase a new one.
Businesses that outgrow their old space or are looking to move to a new location can use this finance option to fit out their new premises with everything from office furniture to new business tech.
Equipment finance FAQs
When commercial equipment finance is unsecured, you won’t have to put up the equipment you’re purchasing (or any other assets) as collateral to secure your loan. In contrast, secured equipment finance requires collateral.
With no collateral required to secure this type of small business loan, you have much more flexibility and control over how you purchase, maintain and insure your equipment. With secured equipment finance, the purchased asset is sometimes the security for the loan. The equipment can also be secured with other assets. In this case, it takes time to value these assets and ensure they are not being used as collateral for other loans. So unsecured equipment finance solutions are a quicker option.
Unsecured finance doesn’t require complex loan applications and can include transport and installation costs, giving you more flexibility when purchasing equipment. Used equipment does not always qualify for secured business finance, so this might not be an option if buying second-hand equipment.
Traditionally, there are a few ways to finance equipment purchases, including hire purchase, chattel mortgage, and operating lease and rental options. With commercial hire purchase and finance lease options, the lender owns the equipment you have bought, while your business uses it. Then at the end of the term, ownership may be handed over to you or you will have the option of buying the equipment from the lender with a balloon payment. With some finance products, the equipment itself will be used as security and has terms and conditions around its maintenance, insurance etc. Business equipment finance from Moula is unsecured, so it’s not secured by the equipment itself or other assets.
