Compare providers

What to compare first

Brand flexibility

Eastern describes non-captive financing; Dexter is a captive finance company. Ask which brands and ancillary items each offer covers.

Equipment versus buildout

Separate machines from construction, leasehold work and the business purchase. Dexter’s FAQ excludes construction costs and store purchases.

Startup cash needs

A startup program may still require a down payment and guarantees. Budget for costs outside the equipment agreement.

Providers to compare

Each provider below publishes information supporting this specific use. This is a sourced shortlist, not a ranking or an approval decision. A startup or equipment program does not mean every applicant or asset qualifies.

Questions before you choose

Can a startup laundromat qualify?

Dexter discusses startup laundries and says most require a down payment. Eastern separately offers new-store financing. Confirm the exact structure.

Can construction and machines be financed together?

Do not assume so. Equipment and project financing have different scopes; Dexter explicitly excludes construction costs and store purchases.

Should I choose manufacturer or independent financing?

Compare brand restrictions, equipment price, total payments, cash due and end-of-term terms. A promotion may not be the best fit for every project.
