How Manufacturing Equipment Financing Works
Flexible Financing & Leasing Structures
At Equipment Leases, we offer financing and leasing solutions for new and used equipment to meet your specific operational needs.
Equipment Loans vs. Leases
Equipment loans let you own the equipment outright at the end of the term, offering fixed payments that make budgeting predictable. Leases, on the other hand, give you flexibility: operating leases provide lower monthly payments and adaptable end-of-term options, while capital leases include our convenient buyout choice if you want to keep the equipment.
Tailored Solutions
- TRAC & Split TRAC Leases: Best for vehicles or equipment with predictable future value.
- Master Leases: Add multiple assets under one agreement as your business expands.
- Asset-Backed Loans: Use existing equipment or inventory to access additional funding, including for complex or international deals.

Lease vs. Buy — Making the Right Decision for Your Business
Deciding whether to lease or buy manufacturing equipment affects cash flow, growth, and flexibility. Here’s how to determine the right option for your business.
Key Questions to Ask
- Is preserving cash flow and working capital important?
- Will the equipment need frequent upgrades or risk becoming obsolete?
- Do you want flexible monthly payments with minimal upfront costs?
- Are you looking to avoid adding debt or affecting your credit?
- Do you want the option to own the equipment at the end of the term?
If you answered yes to any of these, leasing may be the right choice.

Leasing Advantages
Expense Treatment
Lease payments are typically treated as a business expense, which can offer valuable tax benefits and simplify your accounting.
Smaller Down Payments & Easier Approval
Leasing usually requires less money upfront and is often easier to qualify for even if your business has unique or challenged credit needs.
Flexibility & Agility
Leasing allows you to upgrade to the latest technology, automation, or robotics as your needs evolve, supporting your business’s innovation and adaptability.
“Buck Out” $1 Buyout Option
Many of our leases include a $1 buyout at the end, so you can own the equipment outright after enjoying all the flexibility of leasing.

Buying Considerations & Disadvantages of Leasing
Asset Ownership & Equity
Purchasing equipment means you own it outright, building equity and potentially using it as collateral for future loans.
Leasing & Asset Value
Leased equipment may not count as an asset on your balance sheet, which can limit its use as collateral for other financing. However, leasing won’t negatively impact your credit rating since it’s treated as an expense, not a loan.
When Buying Makes Sense
Buying is often the right choice for equipment with a long useful life and low risk of obsolescence, or when you want to build long-term asset value for your business.

Real Success Stories — How We Empower Manufacturers
Aircraft Interiors Manufacturer
A leading manufacturer of aircraft interiors needed to scale quickly after developing new technology. Equipment Leases provided $2,200,000 in financing, enabling them to acquire critical equipment and double their production capacity. As a result, the client’s topline revenue jumped from $60 million to $120 million annually.
“They doubled their capacity and went from $60M a year to $120M a year. That’s the kind of impact the right financing partner can have.”
Our fast approvals and relationship-driven approach helped this client win major contracts and outpace the competition.
Weingarten Forge Press
When a client needed a high-capacity forge press, buying new would have cost over $20 million and taken years. Instead, Equipment Leases structured a $4,250,000 lease for a legacy 1979 Weingarten Forge Press, covering both the purchase and a full refurbishment with new robotics, safety equipment, and installation. This creative solution saved the client millions and enabled 24/6 production to support $40 million in annual revenue.
“We often see transactions that others can’t get done, but we find a way to make them happen and that’s something we’re very proud of.”
These stories show how Equipment Leases helps manufacturers grow, innovate, and succeed when traditional lenders won’t.
