Equipment financing

What Equipment Financing Is and How It Works

Equipment financing is a secured loan or lease structure where the asset itself serves as collateral. You submit an application, the lender evaluates both your creditworthiness and the equipment's value, and upon approval you take delivery while making scheduled payments. Because the lender holds a lien on the asset, rates tend to be lower than unsecured working capital. We handle the paperwork, coordinate appraisals when required, and present your file to multiple lenders so you see competitive options side by side.

Why Equipment Financing Fits Burlingame Businesses

Burlingame sits along the Bayshore corridor between SFO and downtown, home to auto dealerships on Broadway, medical practices near Peninsula Hospital, and tech startups in the Rollins Road office parks. Equipment financing fits this mix because a body shop on Broadway can finance lifts and diagnostic scanners, a dental clinic can lease digital imaging systems, and a software firm can fund server racks without tying up venture runway. Our broker model means we know which lenders favor light industrial equipment versus medical devices, so your file lands where it will get the fastest answer.

How Hazelcrest Financial Helps You Close the Deal

We gather your last two years of business tax returns, a current balance sheet, and a vendor quote for the equipment. Then we scrub the documentation for completeness, write a one-page narrative explaining how the asset drives revenue, and submit to our network. If a lender asks for an updated personal financial statement or proof of insurance, we tell you exactly what format they need. Documentation made simple means no endless email chains and no guessing which form to sign first.

A Realistic Burlingame Scenario

A catering company near the Burlingame Avenue retail district wanted a refrigerated delivery van to serve Peninsula corporate clients. The owner had steady contracts but limited liquidity. We brokered an equipment-financing structure where the van served as collateral, the lender ordered a quick VIN appraisal, and the deal closed in three weeks. The caterer kept cash in the bank for payroll and ingredients while the van paid for itself through new route capacity.

Common questions

Common questions about business loans in Burlingame

What types of equipment qualify for financing in Burlingame?+
Lenders typically finance hard assets with resale value: commercial vehicles, manufacturing machinery, restaurant equipment, medical devices, IT hardware, and construction tools. Soft costs like software subscriptions or training usually do not qualify. We review your vendor quote to confirm eligibility before you spend time on an application.
How long does equipment financing approval take?+
Most lenders issue credit decisions within three to seven business days once they have complete documentation. Delivery timelines depend on whether the equipment is in stock or custom-built. We coordinate with your vendor so funding arrives when the asset ships, avoiding storage fees or delayed installations.
Do I need a down payment for equipment financing?+
Many lenders require ten to twenty percent down, though some programs finance the full purchase price if your credit profile is strong and the equipment holds its value. We present both options so you can choose between lower monthly payments and preserving working capital for other expenses.
Can startups in Burlingame qualify for equipment financing?+
Startups with fewer than two years of revenue can qualify if the owner provides a personal guarantee and demonstrates industry experience. Lenders also consider the equipment's utility: a food truck has clear revenue potential, while speculative R&D gear is harder to finance. We identify which lenders accept newer ventures and tailor your application accordingly.
