$2M–$5M Equipment Financing for Fleets, Plants and Practices
At $2M–$5M, an equipment purchase is usually several machines, a production line or a fleet expansion rather than a single asset. We structure the request so the term matches the equipment's useful life and place it with banks, equipment finance companies and private credit funds.
The equipment secures a term loan, usually 3–7 years matched to its useful life. Lenders commonly ask for 10–20% down on new equipment and review two to three years of financials, cash-flow coverage of the new payment, and the resale value of the assets.

Illustrative example: a $3.2M production-line purchase
A $22M-revenue contract manufacturer adds two five-axis machining centers and an automated packaging cell for $3.6M. With a 12% down payment, the financed amount is about $3.2M over 72 months.
The lender reviews whether existing cash flow, plus revenue from the new capacity, covers the payment comfortably. Illustrative only — down payment, term and pricing are set by the capital provider.
