Deposit requirements vary by equipment type and your business’s financial strength. Many equipment finance deals require 10-30% deposit, though some lenders offer 100% financing for established businesses with strong financials. The deposit amount affects your interest rate and monthly payments. Our team can help you find the best deposit structure for your cash flow needs.

With an equipment loan, you own the equipment from day one and can claim depreciation benefits. With a lease, you rent the equipment and payments are typically 100% tax-deductible, but you don’t own it unless you exercise a purchase option at the end. Leases often have lower monthly payments but may cost more over the full term. The best choice depends on your tax situation and cash flow needs.

Yes, equipment finance payments are generally tax-deductible for business use. With loans, you can typically deduct the interest portion and claim depreciation on the equipment.

However, tax laws are complex and change frequently, so we recommend consulting with your accountant to understand the specific benefits for your situation.
