Yes. Both new and used equipment can be financed. In many cases, lenders accept assets up to 10–15 years old, depending on condition and type of equipment.
Approvals can occur within 24–48 hours, and settlement can often follow shortly after documentation is complete—ideal when you need equipment on-site fast for a confirmed job.
