Information To Disclose To Your Equipment Financing Partner
A lot goes into your business’s financial and day-to-day health. Before buying equipment, you need to consider how much money you can put down, and what type of cash flow you anticipate generating from the equipment you are acquiring.
PRO TIP: By disclosing as much relevant information as possible, your financing consultant can help you find financing that fits your business goals.
By providing important details related to your business, you can receive a better equipment financing approval with the details you provide.
Be sure to tell your financing representative about…
- Cost of any outsourcing or rental fees
- Estimated equipment revenue
- Current or upcoming contracts
- Relevant industry experience
If you have this information readily available and share it with your financing consultant, you can enjoy a more streamlined process.

What if You Have A Specific Price Point in Mind?
If you have a specific business need or have a price point in mind, tell us right away.
Most equipment buyers don’t want to pay too much, but they also want a low monthly payment. If you select a term that is too short, you save money but at a great sacrifice to your cash flow. The key is to find the proper balance that satisfies your business’ cost and cash flow requirements.
Let’s use a towing business as an example.
Let’s say you find out how much money you could make by adding another truck to your business.
After you factor in your operating expenses (like insurance and fuel), you discover you need your monthly payment to be around $1,500. This is important to tell your financing representative so you can make sure your business is profitable.
Why knowing your target payment upfront matters: By letting your financing consultant know your target payment upfront, they can better tailor your approval and help you find the right equipment that matches your budget. By sharing as much relevant information as possible, you can rest assured there should be no surprises when you receive your approval letter.
Your time is important. Don’t hesitate to ask questions, so you feel comfortable. Your dedicated representative is there to get you the best deal for your situation.
