Because the asset secures the deal, they approve more businesses and approve them faster than on an unsecured loan. Underwriters look first at what the equipment is worth if they have to resell it, then at whether your cash flow carries the payment. Expect them to ask for the quote or invoice, recent bank statements and, above about $250k, two years of tax returns.
