Equipment financing
Business equipment financing pays for tangible assets your company uses to generate revenue. Approved purchases include manufacturing machinery, commercial vehicles (box trucks, service vans, delivery fleets), restaurant kitchen equipment, medical devices, construction tools, printing presses, and IT hardware. The equipment itself secures the loan, which means lenders focus more on the asset's value and your ability to service the debt than on unsecured credit history alone.
Palm Bay's aerospace suppliers along Babcock Street often finance precision tooling and CNC machines, while contractors in Malabar use equipment loans to add excavators or aerial lifts without tying up the cash needed for payroll during Florida's storm-season lulls.
Equipment financing
An equipment loan business arrangement transfers ownership to you once the loan is paid off; you claim depreciation deductions and keep the asset. A lease, by contrast, spreads smaller payments over a term but returns the equipment at the end unless you buy it out. Loans suit assets you'll use beyond the finance term. Leases fit rapidly obsolving technology or seasonal gear you'll upgrade frequently.
Documentation for both routes includes a commercial loan application, recent business tax returns, a bank statement showing cash flow, and a vendor quote or invoice for the equipment. Timberfield Capital Group simplifies the comparison by presenting both structures side by side so you choose the one that fits your balance sheet.
How it works
Answer Capsule: Applying for small business equipment financing starts with a phone call to (321) 641-6951 at our Palm Bay office. We gather your vendor quote, two years of financials, and a brief use-case description, then shop your file to equipment lending companies that match your industry and term preferences.
Because we broker these deals rather than lend directly, we connect you with multiple equipment financing companies and present terms in plain language. You'll see monthly payment estimates, term lengths (typically 12 to 84 months), and any down-payment requirements before you commit. Once you select an offer, the lender orders a UCC filing, verifies the equipment's serial number, and funds directly to the vendor or your business account.
Equipment financing
A Melbourne Beach marine-repair shop needed a 10,000-pound boat lift to service larger vessels docking along the Indian River Lagoon. The owner had a vendor quote and eighteen months of steady revenue but wanted to keep cash on hand for hull materials and slip fees. Timberfield brokered a 60-month equipment loan that used the lift as collateral, required minimal down payment, and closed in under three weeks. The shop now handles yachts it previously turned away, and the monthly payment stays well below the margin on two additional haul-outs per month.
Equipment financing
Lenders typically want businesses operating at least two years, annual revenue above $250,000, and a personal credit score in the mid-600s or higher. Startups sometimes qualify if the equipment generates immediate, predictable income (think food trucks or delivery vans with signed contracts). Your debt-service coverage ratio matters more than perfection; lenders calculate whether monthly cash flow covers existing obligations plus the new equipment payment.
Industries we serve across Palm Bay and surrounding areas include aerospace components, marine services, healthcare practices, construction trades, and hospitality. If you're comparing SBA 7(a) loans for a broader capital need or commercial real estate financing to buy your facility outright, we'll map those options alongside equipment financing so you see the trade-offs in one conversation.
Equipment financing
Equipment loan companies each specialize in different asset classes, credit profiles, and term structures. A broker like Timberfield Capital Group maintains relationships with dozens of lenders, so you don't spend weeks calling banks only to discover they won't finance used equipment or your industry. We know which lenders move fast for time-sensitive vendor quotes and which accept lower credit scores in exchange for larger down payments. That market knowledge turns a maze of phone calls into a single application and a short list of real offers.
