An equipment loan is financing that allows businesses to acquire the technology or machinery they require.
In general, the lender provides the company with funding to secure the equipment being purchased or leased, and the business pays the money back in monthly installments (with interest). The equipment may be used as collateral, which means that if the company fails to satisfy its repayment obligations, the equipment will be seized. The business owns the equipment as soon as the loan is paid in full.
