Beauty salon equipment financing is becoming more and more in demand as the salon world takes advantage of state of the art innovations that can add more value to their customers.

And higher tech can also be higher cost for certain items, which requires a greater outlay of capital by the salon owner.

This is where equipment loans and equipment leases can be utilized to conserve the available cash flow in the business and utilize financial leverage to acquire assets that can be deployed to generate greater returns than the cost of acquisition and financing combined.

But like with any type of equipment financing scenario, the key to getting greater rates, terms, and leverage is when you are trying to acquire established assets from well known and well healed brands that are likely to continue on into the future.

The reason this can be important is that well established brands and equipment lines will have a stronger resale market than totally new technology that has not stood any type of test of time in the market place in terms of the end customer satisfaction as well as the the durability of the asset.

When you have equipment that is highly sought after either in new or used form, there are going to be more commercial equipment financing options as compared to situations where the asset, line, or brand are relatively new.

Beauty Salon Equipment Financing Will Be Both Cash Flow And Asset Based

All that being said, if you have a well established salon that is looking to acquire new state of the art assets, great rates and terms can still be available to you, even if the assets are not well established in the market place yet with respect to resale.

When a business has good cash flow and solid credit, equipment financing companies will be less concerned about the longer term value of unproven assets and more concerned about the track record of the business satisfying its customers and turning a profit.

With equipment leasing as an example, business owners can arrange at or near 100% financing on a piece of beauty salon equipment.  And if there is delivery, installation, and even training costs required as well, these costs can potentially be included in the lease, providing in excess of 100% financing in some situations.

Equipment loans are typically the lower cost sources of financing for “A” credit applicants where in order to get the lowest possible rate you may have to pay up to 25% down on the asset.

So the equipment financing solution that best fits your business will need to consider the impact it will have on cash flow at time of purchase as well as on a monthly basis during the lease or loan term.

As previously mentioned, used beauty salon equipment can also be financed provided that the projected future remaining life of the asset is greater than any financing term being sought by the business owner.

And when buying equipment for amounts under $50,000, approvals for financing can be secured in less than a day with funding to follow soon after.

Snow moving equipment financing can be put into place in a matter of days if required, provided that the business application has the necessary credit and financial profile to get financing secured and funded.

Approvals can be granted within 24 hours or less for amounts no greater than $75,000.

Larger amounts can be approved as well, but it may take an extra day or two to get a funding approval as more documentation and/or human review may be required by the equipment financing source.

Regardless of your requirements, the speed in which funding can be approved and put into place in a  matter of days in most situations.

This can be very important for businesses that 1) have had a break down in the middle of the season; 2) are in need of replacing equipment at the point of first snow fall; 0r 3) are expanding their existing business or going into the business for the first time.

Snow moving commercial equipment financing can be secure for both new and used snow moving equipment.

You can also finance the acquisition of snow moving equipment from a licensed dealer as well as a private seller.

Just keep in mind that with a private seller transaction, there will be more time required to complete the transaction as the lending/funding party will need to complete a search and waver process on the particular asset or assets so that the equipment financing company can be assured that clear title is being made available without any prior liens or encumbrances outstanding.

If you are in a hurry and want to acquire and finance snow moving equipment in the least amount of time, then purchasing new equipment from a licensed dealer will speed up the process considerably as a certain number of application steps will be removed.

Snow Moving Equipment Equipment Financing Can Be Arranged With Little Money Down

One of the benefits of equipment lease financing is that a business can get financing arranged for as little as one or two lease payments made in advance.

And if there is accessory equipment and installation required such as a hydraulic system to be installed on a truck for a new snow plow, the cost of installation and supporting equipment can also potentially be included in the cost of the lease, providing in some cases more than 100% of the purchase price of the asset you are trying to acquire.

This can be a great saver to your cash flow, especially if you need to fund working capital during a time of expansion or business development.

Good rates and terms are also available and are subject to the credit and financial profile of the applicant company.

When dealing with equipment leasing as the equipment financing instrument, you will need to consider whether you want an operating or capital lease.  Each has their advantages and have the potential to be structured to better fit your business requirements such as seasonal payments when it comes to businesses like snow plowing and removal.

If you need more information or want to get your application for financing process right away, I suggest that you give us a call and we’ll get all you questions answered and quotations prepared right away.

For well established businesses that have great cash flow and excellent credit, the comparison between equipment leasing and other forms of equipment financing are very comparable in terms of rates, but not always that comparable with respect to terms.

With equipment leasing, a business with a strong financial and credit profile can be afforded arguably the highest form of available leverage available to them in the market for equipment financing transctions.

In most cases, strong applicants can get an equipment leasing facility for as little as one or two payments outlined in the lease repayment schedule, paid in advance.

And if there are related costs such as transportation, installation, and training, these costs can be added into the equipment lease as well, effectively providing equipment financing far in excess of 100% of the cost to acquire the asset in the first place.

For those with strong borrowing profiles, equipment leasing is something that should always be considered to conserve on available cash flow.

Equipment Leasing Leverage Can Be Advantageous
To Any Business

While the emphasis so far has been on how equipment leasing leverage is so advantageous to “A+” type credit profiles, the financing leverage is still going to be strong for businesses with less than perfect credit and cash flow as well.

With many small businesses where the financing requirements are under $250,000, equipment leasing still provides high levels of leverage to different credit and financial profiles, but at slightly higher rates.

For most small and medium sized businesses, equipment leasing is a tradeoff between rate on one side and leverage and speed on the other side.

The lowest cost forms of financing not only move slowly, but they also tend to be conservative when it comes to leverage where even the better credit risk applications are still required to have an investment in an equipment purchase of at least 25%.

The competitive strength of the equipment leasing model is “ready to go” financing at high levels of leverage in comparison to the bank alternatives.

And even though at times equipment leasing rates can be slightly higher than the effective rate on a comparable loan, the cost of capital does not do you any good if the additional time it takes to secure it causes you to either lose out on business opportunities or delay the ability to make sales.

If the time value of money is properly factored in from the outset, equipment leasing can still be considered lower cost even at slightly higher posted rates, provide that the leverage is strong and the transaction turnaround time is fast.

Dental equipment supplier equipment financing can be required for the dental supplier’s own inventory that they are requiring from a manufacturer or another distributor for the purposes of resale, and it can be required by the dental supplier’s customer who wants to purchase equipment from the supplier but will require equipment financing to complete the transaction.

There are different forms of inventory financing available, each with certain attributes with respect to rates and leverage provided.

For instance if a dental supplier has a line of credit through bank to financing inventory, they will have a low cost of financing, but the percentage of the asset value to be financed is going to be very small.

Asset based lenders will provide higher amounts of financing relative to the cost of the supplier’s inventory, but the cost of funds will also be higher in keeping with the higher level of lender risk.

The key to making higher ratio inventory financing cost effective is the amount of times you can turnover your inventory during the course of a year.  The more turns, the lower the average cost of financing becomes.

Its also difficult to get dental supplier equipment inventory financing facilities for amounts under $200,000.

Dental Customer Equipment Financing Programs Can Make Or Break A Sale

The other type of dental supplier equipment financing is financing that is arranged for the customer by a third party financing company that has qualified the dental supplier as a reputable supplier of equipment to this industry.

Being prequalified as a supplier with key equipment financing companies all transactions that are subject to financing to be reviewed and committed quickly, making this a key step in the successful completion of a sale transaction.

When the dental equipment supplier has an established relationship with a third party lender or leasing company, the signed sale transaction can be sent, with the customer’s permissions, directly from the supplier to the equipment financing company so that everything the customer requires to complete the sale can be handled within one process.

By not allowing or requiring the customer to go out and source his or her own source of dental equipment financing, the dental supplier has a much tighter sales process that will be less susceptible to competitive pressures which can discount or even lose the deal for the supplier.

Depending on the dental equipment supplier, both types of financing are going to be important and need to be in place and functioning properly for optimal results.

If you are in the dental equipment supply business where your primary customer is going to be dentists and dental practitioners, then you going to want to make sure that your target customer always has a readily available source of capital to complete any potential sales transaction.

And while dentists are typically very good credit risks who can get their own financing arranged without too much problem, the reality is that dentists are very busy people in their own right and are looking for “done for you” supplier solutions which include equipment financing options for any equipment they want to acquire.

Not only that, but supplier competition is typically very high for the dental industry, so getting the jump on the competition and getting a sale closed where financing is required as quickly as possible is a strategic advantage.

The reality is that while most dental equipment suppliers will typically have some alignment with sources of dental financing, these relationships are not optimal in many cases for a lot of different reasons.

First of all, if you are working direct with one lender, there is a number of risks you can run up against.  Number one, direct lender relationships are most often for “A” credit customers and if your customer falls outside of the lender’s financing parameters, they don’t have any other options for your customer and the sale gets put at risk while the customer looks for other options which could land them on the doorstep of a competitor.

Number two, if your dentist customer has multiple locations, you run the risk of concentration issues with the lender you’re working with due to the fact that they are likely going to have a limit as to how much exposure they are prepared to have with one client.

Number three, even if you’re working with an equipment leasing broker who claims to have a number of lending sources, the reality could very well be that they only have one lending source that can do your deals with no other options to consider.

Number four, depending on your business model of product sale or service delivery, the dental equipment financing sources you are aligned with might not be making it easy for you to close the sale which is something that can likely be improved upon.

Dental Customer Financing Programs Need To Help Close The Sale

The best solution to make sure that your customers are happy and your sales are being maximized is to work through an equipment leasing broker who 1) has SEVERAL lender relationships to finance your customer requirements including both “A” and “B” credit profiles;  2) has experience facilitating dental customer financing requests and has a high success ratio.  Every industry has its quirks and the dental financing industry is no different; and 3) has the capacity to provide the dedicated level of prompt customer service required to get deals closed quickly.

We provide a customized and customer focused service designed to quickly determine the best financing solution and then get financing is place so that your sale team can get deals closed and not have deals lost to the competitors from lags in the financing process.

With used equipment, the equipment financing process will depend on the remaining useful life left in the assets as well as their condition and general resale strength in the market place.

Millwork Equipment Financing Proposals Will Vary With Financial And Credit Profiles

While millwork assets are viewed to be good items of equipment for the purpose of lender or leasing company security, the strength of lender or lease company options will depend on the financial and credit profiles of the business and business owners.

Strong financial and credit profiles can attract very good rates and terms for this type of asset.

And if there are additional costs related to acquisition such as transportation, setup, and training, these costs can also potentially be financed at or near 100% of the actual cost, providing a very high level of leverage to the business.

If you are looking to purchase used equipment, the first step would be to send us an itemized list of the assets so we can prequalify them in our equipment financing network.  This information should include year, make,  model, condition, and estimate of value.  Pictures of the assets would also be helpful to provide a lender or leasing company with a better idea of the millwork equipment in question.

Used equipment leasing has become very common in the industry with most leasing companies participating in it to some degree.

The key with leasing used equipment is the remaining useful life of the asset to be financed relative to the lease term that is being considered.

For more heavy duty equipment that is not technology based in the sense that it will not be obsolete in the near future, there are typically multiple equipment lease financing options available.

Anything where obsolesce is a potential issue is going to attract shorter lease terms.

Part of the challenge with used equipment leasing is the nature of the transaction itself.

For instance, is the seller a dealer that is licensed to sell equipment or a private seller such as a business or even an individual?

When the purchase is from a dealer, the leasing company will typically do a quick check of the dealer to make sure they are reputable in terms of both sales transactions and after sales service.

For private sales, a qualified piece of equipment will have to go through a search and waver process to make sure that there are no outstanding liens registered against the equipment and if there are, the lien holder will have to be notified and asked to sign a waiver indicating that there is nothing owing on the asset.

Like any type of financing arrangement, a good portion of the lending or leasing decision by a leasing company is going to depend on the credit worthiness of the applicant in terms of their credit history and financial profile.

Used Equipment Leasing Can Attract
Solid Rates And Terms

Even though a piece of equipment is used, its still possible to secure solid rates and the longer the estimated useful life, the longer the lease term can potentially be.

Its very common for leasing companies to provide some combination of internal market analysis on the asset and third party appraiser assessment to make sure that the value being paid and the remaining useful life of the asset are both well understood.

With most used equipment leasing scenarios, the borrower or lessee can expect to get financing in the 75% to 85% range of the purchase price of the asset.  There can be exceptions both ways depending on the applicants financial and credit profile as well as the equipment type and condition, but for the most part this is a typical range that you’re likely to see.

Therefore, you can expect the amount of leverage on used equipment to be slightly lower than for new equipment most of time and that a larger cash down payment will be required in order to complete the equipment financing on a used equipment purchase.

The other thing to keep in mind is that equipment age will also play into financing that is available as well as rates and terms.  Even if an asset is in great condition it still may be hard to find the financing you’re looking for if it has considerable age.

The age factor will vary considerably by asset type but in general anything that is under 5 years old and is in good condition with significant remaining useful life has a good chance of being financed.

Especially for companies that have been around for awhile, there can be a build up of equity in their equipment that they aren’t or can’t utilize to bring additional cash into the business.

And there can be periods of time when there is a need to restructure short term debt by terming it out into longer term debt with a structured repayment schedule.

Down turns in business operations can see cash flow take a beating and short term liabilities such as accounts payable and government remittances go up.

In order for the business to continue into the future, there is going to need to be a plan to pay up these short term accounts so that trade creditors or government agencies don’t take collection actions against the business.

One of the most effective ways to do this is through equipment financing or equipment refinancing.

The challenge with this type of approach, however, is to get access to the potential borrowing power that exists in your equipment equity.

One of the problems that can arise with debt restructuring is that your senior lender has security over all your assets or most of the assets including the equipment.  And while they may be very well secured with the build up of equity in assets held for security over time, they may not be willing to either lend you more money to consolidate short term debt, or are not prepared to release any of their security.

When this is the case, it may be necessary move to one or more different lenders to generate the incremental capital you’re looking for.

This may mean looking for an operating lender that can take accounts receivable and inventory for collateral and a term lender that can provide equipment financing against the equipment you own outright.

Equipment Financing Or Refinancing Can Provide Higher Asset Leverage

The reason you potentially look to more than one lender is to generate greater asset leverage.

Many times operating lenders will provide great leverage on accounts receivable and some leverage on inventory, but not sufficient leverage on equipment.

The result is that you are not extracting enough debt financing out of the equity you have invested in these assets.

So to get the amount of financing you require, you may have to get more focused in on lenders that finance certain types of assets and provide higher levels of leverage due to their comfort level in having the assets as security.

Typically higher leverage providers will require a sale and leaseback transaction to take place in order to further protect themselves against the risk of loss.

They can also be higher cost lenders than what you were previously dealing with.

But when you consider the cost of government arrears, or being cut off from trade credit and having to work from a cash basis, a slightly higher cost of financing on equipment related debt can be small in comparison.

The goal is to get the balance sheet in order so that the cash flow of the business can meet all obligations and keep the business credit profile in tact so that credit is not lost or withdrawn from an extended period of short term financing arrears.

Used equipment financing options can be considerable for certain types of equipment and geographies.

The key is to best align the equipment financing requirement with the proper source of financing.

This is due to the fact that all equipment financing and leasing companies will have their own areas of interest and lending/funding requirements when it comes to used equipment financing opportunties.

So the more closely you align with a lender or leasing companies requirements, the more likely you are to get financing, and at better rates and terms.

Speaking of rates and terms, the newer the asset and the better its condition, the better the options will be with respect to rates and terms.

For instance, assets that have a long useful life and are in good condition are going to be able to financed for a longer period of time than ones that do not have much useful life remaining.

You are also going to have more equipment financing options to choose from for used equipment acquisition when the business and the business owners have strong financial and credit profiles to support the transaction.

A good financial profile will allow you to finance used assets that would not otherwise attract capital due to the equipment financing or leasing company’s confidence in your ability to repay your debts.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are still going to be good used equipment financing options for less than perfect credit or cash flow, but you may have to put more down to complete the deal and the loan or lease term may be for a shorter period of time.

Used Equipment Financing Also Depends On
Asset Marketability

When you are looking to finance used equipment, an equipment financing or leasing company is going to be interested in the strength of the security that the asset offers to them.

This is going to be determined by the strength of the resale market for that particular type of used equipment.

The stronger the resale market for the asset or assets, the more used equipment financing options that will likely be available to you.

Even with weaker credit and cash flow, used equipment financing can be available at higher rates provided that the lender is very comfortable in both the resale market for the asset and the liquidation pathway they would have to utilize in the event that they had to liquidate the asset to recoup their investment.

So once again, used equipment financing options have everything to do with understanding what you have to work with and then immediately getting in contact with sources of equipment financing that can best meet your requirements.

If you have a used equipment financing need, please give us a call so we can quickly assess your situation and provide used equipment financing options for your consideration
