What it is and how it works in San Jose
Equipment financing is the easiest commercial loan a San Jose business can qualify for, because the equipment itself secures the loan. Lenders take the asset as collateral, which dramatically simplifies underwriting and opens financing to newer businesses and lower credit profiles. From construction equipment to medical devices to restaurant fryers, equipment financing is how California operators put new capacity to work without draining cash.
A term loan secured by the equipment being purchased. Repaid over the useful life of the asset (typically 2-7 years).
