Equipment Leasing Criteria 2

Equipment Leasing is an Asset Based Loan with the 3 fundamental characteristics of a loan:

  • The use of the equipment as collateral for the loan;
  • Defined payments to the funding source;
  • The payments to be made over a specific period of time

Unlike Factoring, a debt is created and the funding source will look more closely at the Borrower’s financial position to determine cash flow strength for repayments. Specifically:

  • List of assets and any encumbrances against each one
  • Valuation report of the business assets – this must be higher than the loan amount, after taking into account any encumbrances.
  • 2 years audited financial statements from the Borrower
  • 2 years corporate tax returns
  • Purpose of the loan
  • Amount of the loan
  • Likelihood of repayment
  • Any recent contracts to verify increased business
  • Bio on principals of the business
  • Background and credit checks on them
  • Additional data that will give the funding source a complete view of the borrower
