Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about equipment financing in Canada.

Equipment financing allows businesses to acquire machinery, vehicles, and other business equipment without paying the full cost upfront. Instead, you make regular payments over a set term (typically 12 to 72 months) while using the equipment to generate revenue.

The equipment itself serves as collateral, which often means easier approval compared to unsecured business loans. At the end of the term, depending on the structure, you may own the equipment outright, have the option to purchase it, or return it.

Equipment Loan: You borrow money to purchase the equipment. You own it from day one, and the equipment serves as collateral. Once you've paid off the loan, you own the equipment free and clear.

Equipment Lease: The lender owns the equipment, and you pay to use it. At the end of the lease, you can typically purchase it for a residual amount, return it, or upgrade. Lower monthly payments, and payments are often fully tax-deductible as a business expense.

The best choice depends on your cash flow needs, tax situation, and whether you want to own the equipment long-term.

There's no single credit score requirement because we work with lenders across the credit spectrum. Generally:

  • 700+: Access to the best rates from prime lenders
  • 650–700: Good options available, slightly higher rates
  • 600–650: Specialty lenders available, rates vary
  • Below 600: Options exist but are more limited; strong business revenue can help

Because equipment financing is secured by the equipment itself, lenders are often more flexible than with unsecured business loans.

Yes, though options are more limited for businesses under 2 years old. Some specialty lenders work with newer businesses, especially if you have:

  • Strong personal credit
  • Relevant industry experience
  • A larger down payment (10–20%)
  • Demonstrated revenue, even if limited history

Startups may face higher rates and may need to provide a personal guarantee.

Most applications receive an initial decision within 24–48 hours. The complete timeline:

  • Application review: Same day
  • Initial decision: 24–48 hours
  • Documentation: 1–3 days
  • Funding: 1–5 days after docs complete

For straightforward deals, funding can happen within a week.

Virtually any equipment that has resale value can be financed, including:

  • Construction: Excavators, loaders, skid steers, cranes
  • Transportation: Semi trucks, trailers, fleet vehicles
  • Manufacturing: CNC machines, lathes, production lines
  • Restaurant: Commercial ovens, refrigeration, kitchen equipment
  • Medical/Dental: Diagnostic equipment, imaging systems
  • Agricultural: Tractors, harvesters, irrigation systems

Both new and used equipment can be financed.

Many arrangements offer $0 down for qualified borrowers. However, a down payment (typically 10-20%) can:

  • Lower monthly payments
  • Improve approval odds for challenged credit
  • Potentially get better interest rates

Requirements vary by lender and your credit profile.

No. Canada Equipment Finance is a finance broker, not a lender. We don't provide financing directly or make credit decisions.

Our role is to connect your business with appropriate lenders from our network of Canadian equipment finance companies. We help package your application, match you with lenders suited to your profile, and coordinate the process.

This broker model benefits you because we can access multiple lenders and find options that fit—rather than being limited to a single institution's criteria.
