What Is 100% Equipment Financing?

100% equipment financing (also known as $0-down financing) allows a business to finance 100% of the equipment cost. Instead of paying a down payment, you finance the full cost of the equipment and begin making low monthly payments once the agreement starts.

Many lenders (including Beacon Funding) offer $0-down options to help businesses maintain liquidity, start generating revenue quickly, and access essential equipment sooner.

Key Points

  • $0-down = spread out 100% of the equipment cost into low monthly payments.
  • Pay as you profit: Allow your equipment to pay for itself.
  • Keep your cash reserves: Keep your hard-earned cash in your pocket.

100% equipment financing allows you to get financing with no money down and use your liquidity for operating expenses and investing in crucial areas of your business.

What to Consider Before Choosing $0-Down Financing

While financing with no money down is appealing, it’s smart to weigh your options carefully.

Key Considerations

  • Monthly budget vs. long-term cost: Lower up-front cost may mean slightly higher monthly payments.
  • Term length: Longer terms reduce payment amounts.
  • When a small down payment may help: A upfront amount may lower monthly payments.
  • Future upgrades: Beacon Funding’s upgrade program may allow you to trade up as you grow.

FAQs About Getting Equipment Without Paying Full Price Upfront

Can I really get equipment with no money down?

Yes. Well-qualified buyers could finance 100% of the equipment cost depending on their overall profile, including business history, equipment type, and repayment strength. Leasing programs often make 100% financing possible.

Does everyone qualify for 100% equipment financing?

No money down isn’t the right plan for every business. Some financing companies will be more selective when approving businesses for no money down since it’s a bigger upfront cost for them.

Remember, there’s no risk in applying.

What if my credit isn’t perfect?

Beacon Funding looks at more than credit alone. Time in business, personal pay history, business pay history, financial performance, equipment type, and transaction size.

How fast can I be approved for 100% financing?

A quick one-page application and electronic bank verification help speed up decisions. Many applicants receive results within 24 – 48 hours after applying.
