When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Business owners comparing a conventional loan with an equipment lease.
  • Companies needing construction financing alongside operating credit.

What to weigh carefully

  • A business equity line places the owner’s home at risk and is unavailable in Texas.
  • The reviewed pages do not publish universal loan limits, rates, fees or credit-score thresholds.
  • SBA Preferred and Express participation is stated, but generic SBA educational references do not establish every SBA product as offered.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Which entity will finance the equipment and what is the lease-end buyout?
  2. What collateral, guarantees and renewal conditions apply to the business line?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
