Business Loan for Industrial Machinery: What to Prepare Before Financing New Equipment

Need a business loan for industrial machinery? Financing new production equipment starts with more than an equipment quote. Funding providers may evaluate both the asset and the company’s ability to support the financing.

If you already have a machinery quotation, submit the purchase price, financing need and current business profile through the EIN Business Funding Quick Lead Pre-Qualification.

Can Industrial Machinery Be Financed?

Potentially. Equipment financing is one of the business funding categories identified in the EIN Business Funding guidance. Qualification and financing structure depend on the provider, equipment and complete borrower profile.

What Do Equipment Lenders Commonly Review?

Funding providers may consider personal credit, business credit if established, time in business, annual revenue, cash flow, current debt, industry and the equipment being purchased.

Depending on the financing structure, collateral and a personal guarantee may also be relevant.

What Should a Manufacturer Prepare?

Prepare the machinery purchase price, requested financing amount, equipment quotation, business formation details, EIN, ownership percentage, annual revenue, business banking information, current Experian FICO score and all existing business debt.

It is also useful to explain why the machinery is being purchased—such as replacing older equipment, increasing capacity, automating production or fulfilling new customer demand.

Could SBA 504 Apply to a Large Machinery Purchase?

For larger long-term fixed assets, SBA 504 financing may be another category to evaluate. The funding guidance identifies large equipment among the primary uses of SBA 504 financing.

If your manufacturing business is actively purchasing industrial machinery, complete the EIN Business Funding pre-qualification with the equipment cost and business profile.
