Equipment Financing: Powering Your Business Growth

Discover how the right equipment financing strategy can fuel expansion, preserve cash flow, and give your business a competitive edge—while Executive Element connects you with tailored funding solutions designed for long-term success.

Investing in new equipment can be a game-changer for your business, whether you’re upgrading machinery, expanding your fleet, or adopting cutting-edge technology. However, the high upfront costs of equipment purchases can strain cash flow, making equipment financing a critical solution for businesses aiming to grow without depleting reserves.

At Executive Element, with over 25 years of expertise in commercial lending, including SBA, conventional, and equipment financing, we simplify the process, connecting you with tailored loan options that fuel your growth.  Below, we explore the benefits of equipment financing and how a seasoned broker can make it work for your business.

Why Equipment Financing?

Equipment financing allows businesses to acquire essential assets—such as construction machinery, medical devices, automotive, or restaurants—without paying the full cost upfront.  Instead, you spread the cost over time through manageable loan or lease payments, preserving working capital for other priorities like payroll or marketing.  With Executive Element’s deep lender network, we ensure you get the best terms and loan/lease product to support your growth.

Key Benefits of Equipment Financing

1. Preserve Cash Flow:  Cover up to 100% of equipment costs with financing, freeing up cash for daily operations or unexpected expenses. This is ideal for businesses in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, or logistics, where equipment is a major investment.

2. Tax Advantages:  Equipment loans or leases may qualify for tax deductions, such as Section 179, allowing you to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year of purchase (up to IRS limits).  The latest OBBB signed into law on July 4, 2025 has improved the benefits of Section 179 (see below).

3. Flexible Terms:  Financing terms can range from 1 to 7 years, with options for fixed or variable rates, tailored to your cash flow. Executive Element negotiates terms that align with your budget and business cycles.

4. Quick Approvals:  Equipment financing often has faster approval processes than traditional loans, with some lenders providing funds in as little as 48 hours.  Our expertise ensures your application is optimized for speed and success.

5. Access to Modern Equipment:  Stay competitive by upgrading to energy-efficient or advanced technology without draining reserves, boosting productivity and profitability.

How a Broker Makes the Difference

Navigating equipment financing can be complex, with varying lender requirements, interest rates, and lease-versus-loan decisions.  A seasoned commercial loan consultant, like Executive Element, brings clarity to this process.

• Tap Diverse Lenders: We connect you with banks, alternative lenders, and equipment financing specialists, ensuring options that fit your industry and financial profile.

• Tailor Solutions: Whether you need a $50,000 loan for a single machine or a $1 million facility for a fleet, we match you with financing that supports your goals.

• Streamline Applications: We handle documentation, negotiate terms, and present your business’s strengths, increasing approval odds and securing competitive rates.

Equipment Financing vs. Other Options

Unlike SBA 7(a) loans, which are versatile but require rigorous documentation, or conventional loans, which may demand stronger credit, equipment financing is often more accessible and faster.  For businesses ineligible for SBA loans, equipment financing offers a streamlined alternative, while SBA 504 loans can complement equipment purchases tied to real estate.  A broker’s expertise ensures you choose the right financing type—loan, lease, or hybrid—based on your needs, industry, and growth plans.

Section 179 changes with the OBBB of July 4, 2025:

1. Higher deduction cap

   The maximum amount a taxpayer may expense under Section 179 is increased to $2.5 million (for property placed in service in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024). Engineered Tax Services+6Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney+6Journal of Accountancy+6

2. Higher phase-out threshold

   The dollar amount at which the deduction begins to phase out is raised to $4 million of qualifying property placed in service. Warren Averett CPAs & Advisors+6Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney+6Journal of Accountancy+6

3. “Made permanent” status

   The expansions to Section 179 (the increased deduction and threshold) are made permanent (rather than temporary). Ways and Means+4Warren Averett CPAs & Advisors+4Doeren Mayhew+4

4. Interaction with bonus depreciation

   The bill also restores 100% bonus depreciation (permanently, for qualified property acquired after January 19, 2025) and expands qualification. Because of that, in many cases, businesses will choose between (or combine) Section 179 and bonus depreciation strategies. Journal of Accountancy+3DHJJ+3RSM US+3.

What’s not changed / what still applies

• The property must still qualify under the usual Section 179 rules (i.e., used more than 50% in business, eligible property types, placed in service during the year).

• The Section 179 deduction is still limited by the taxpayer’s taxable income from the business (i.e., you can’t use it to generate or increase a net loss).
