Equipment financing

What Equipment Financing Covers for Lakewood Businesses

Business equipment financing pays for tangible assets your company needs to operate or grow: CNC machines for a Wheat Ridge fabricator, delivery vans for a Golden catering company, dental chairs for an Edgewater practice, or forklifts for a warehouse near the Lakewood-Morrison corridor along Highway 285. The lender holds a lien on the equipment until you complete payments, which keeps rates lower than working capital lines and lets you preserve cash for payroll and inventory. We broker deals for new and used equipment, and because the collateral is defined up front, underwriters move quickly. If you're comparing business lines of credit or working capital against an equipment loan, ask whether the purchase generates immediate revenue, equipment financing makes sense when the asset pays for itself.

### Who Qualifies for an Equipment Loan in Lakewood

Read more

Lenders want two years in business, a credit score above 600, and proof the equipment will strengthen cash flow or efficiency. Startups sometimes qualify if the owner brings industry experience or a strong personal guarantee. We work with equipment financing companies that understand Colorado's mix of construction, healthcare, and light manufacturing, so a Morrison contractor buying a mini-excavator and a Littleton dental group adding a CBCT scanner both find programs that fit. Your business doesn't need to own real estate or carry perfect financials, the equipment itself is the collateral.

### A Lakewood Scenario: HVAC Fleet Expansion

Read more

An HVAC contractor in Sheridan needed three service vans to keep pace with summer install season along the West Colfax corridor. The owner had strong revenue but limited savings after hiring two technicians. We arranged equipment financing that covered the vehicles and upfitting, racks, compressors, lettering, so the trucks hit the road within ten days. Because the vans secured the loan, the rate stayed competitive and the contractor preserved operating cash for parts inventory during peak months.

Common questions

Common questions about business loans in Lakewood

What types of equipment can I finance in Lakewood?+
You can finance nearly any business-critical asset: trucks, trailers, restaurant ovens, medical devices, IT servers, construction machinery, manufacturing tools, and office furniture. Lenders exclude inventory and intangible software licenses but cover most tangible, depreciable equipment.
How long are equipment loan terms?+
Terms typically match the equipment's useful life, three to five years for vehicles and computers, seven to ten years for heavy machinery. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest; longer terms ease cash flow but extend the lien period.
Can I finance used equipment?+
Yes. Lenders finance used equipment if it has remaining useful life and isn't obsolete. Expect slightly higher rates and shorter terms than new purchases, and the equipment usually cannot exceed a certain age threshold, often seven to ten years depending on asset type.
Do I need a down payment for equipment financing?+
Many programs require ten to twenty percent down, though some lenders offer zero-down structures for borrowers with strong credit. A larger down payment reduces monthly obligations and can unlock better rates or longer amortization.
How does equipment financing differ from an equipment lease?+
Financing means you own the asset and build equity with each payment; leasing means you rent it and return it at term end unless you buy out the residual. Financing often costs less over time and lets you depreciate the asset, while leasing offers flexibility to upgrade frequently.
What happens if my business is in Edgewater or Golden, do you still broker equipment loans?+
Absolutely. Oakfield Advances serves Lakewood, Edgewater, Wheat Ridge, Sheridan, Mountain View, Bow Mar, Golden, Englewood, Morrison, Columbine, and Littleton.
