When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Relevant to asset-rich industrial businesses seeking direct funding or seasonal equipment payments.

What to weigh carefully

  • No universal advance percentage, interest rate or termination charge is published here.
  • The stated equipment range is typical, not a strict maximum; lease residuals and purchase rights depend on structure.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which assets and prior liens affect availability?
  2. What appraisal and unused-line fees apply?
  3. What is the early payoff or lease buyout schedule?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.

Alternatives to research
