Equipment financing allows you to purchase or borrow hard assets for your business.  This allows you to keep your business running without spending a large amount.  If you do not have a down payment or collateral, equipment financing allows your equipment to act as your collateral.  You are able to secure a loan without tapping into your liquid cash or risking your personal assets. 
Some examples of some items that are covered with equipment financing:
Delivery vehicles, trailers, food trucks, deep fryers, commercial ovens, freezers, blenders, office desks, cubicles, computers, tractors, forklifts and conveyor belts.
