The Business Case
Why Finance Instead of Pay Cash?
Preserve Working Capital
Paying cash for equipment depletes your reserves. Financing spreads the cost over the useful life of the asset, keeping capital available for operations and opportunities.
Tax Advantages
Depending on your financing structure, interest payments or lease payments may be fully tax-deductible. Your accountant can advise on the optimal structure for your business.
Match Payments to Revenue
Well-structured equipment financing aligns your payments with the revenue the equipment generates, improving cash flow predictability throughout the asset's useful life.
Upgrade Without Disruption
Equipment leases allow you to upgrade to newer technology at the end of each term without the cost or complexity of selling depreciating equipment.
Finance Smart
“The right equipment makes your business more productive. The right financing keeps your cash flow intact while you acquire it.”

Structure Your Deal
Equipment Loan vs Equipment Lease
The right structure depends on how long you plan to use the equipment, your tax situation, and your cash flow needs. Jessy helps you choose.
| Feature | Equipment Loan | Equipment Lease |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | You own the equipment | Lender owns, you use it |
| End of term | Equipment is yours, fully paid off | Option to buy, return, or upgrade |
| Down payment | Typically 10–20% | Often $0 down |
| Balance sheet | Asset + liability on books | Operating lease = off balance sheet |
| Tax treatment | CCA depreciation claim | Lease payments fully deductible |
| Flexibility | Less flexible | Easy to upgrade at end of term |
| Best for | Equipment you plan to keep long-term | Equipment that becomes obsolete quickly |
Jessy works with your accountant or helps connect you with one to ensure your financing structure is optimized for your tax situation.
FAQ
Equipment Financing FAQs
- How quickly can equipment financing be approved?
- Simple equipment financing (single piece, under $250,000, established business) can often be approved within 24–48 hours. More complex files (larger amounts, startup businesses, or specialized equipment) take longer. Jessy pre-qualifies your file and sets accurate expectations upfront so you can plan your equipment acquisition accordingly.
- Can a startup or new business get equipment financing?
- Startups face more scrutiny but can still access equipment financing, often through lenders that rely more heavily on the equipment's value and the owner's personal credit than on business income history. A strong down payment (20–30%) and good personal credit significantly improve approval chances for newer businesses. Jessy works with lenders who specialize in startup and emerging business equipment financing.
- What's the typical interest rate for equipment financing?
- Equipment financing rates vary based on your credit profile, business age, equipment type, loan term, and the lender. Prime-based businesses with strong financials may qualify for rates in the 6–9% range. Higher-risk profiles or specialized equipment may carry higher rates. Jessy shops multiple equipment finance lenders to find the most competitive rate for your specific file.
