Over 75% of US companies use some form of financing when acquiring equipment — for good reasons. Financing – particularly leasing – allows them to
Overcome capital budget limitations.
Preserve cash flow.
Conserve bank lines of credit for when they need them the most.
Achieve their ROI through labor/material savings with affordable monthly payments.
Pay for equipment with future profit instead of working capital.
Take advantage of available tax benefits.
Defer sales/use tax by paying it over time with monthly lease payments instead of up front with the purchase.
Why does working with a specialized lender matter? Won’t any lender do?
When searching for lenders for packaging equipment financing, you have a lot of choices. Finding a lender whose unique footprint best suits your company’s needs is important.
Most leasing companies are generalists, which means they finance a little bit of everything from different industries. While they may be good lenders, as generalists they don’t necessarily understand the nuances within a particular industry. As the saying goes, “jack of all trades, master of none.” Why is that important?
Extensive, industry-specific knowledge can impact critical components of the lending process and your experience as a borrower such as:
- Credit decisions.
- Pricing.
- Lease term limits.
- Long-term asset valuations.
- The lender’s ability and willingness to work with standard, industry-specific practices (such as vendor deposit requirements and lead times).
- The lender’s ability to determine which lease structure is right for your company.
- The lender’s ability to help you through industry-specific challenges involved with packaging equipment acquisition.
