FAQ
A: Simply put, Kapitus Equipment Financing is a loan that you use to purchase business-related equipment. It allows business owners to purchase the equipment they require to keep their business running and successful without the need to pull from existing working capital.
A: Equipment financing is, actually, a type of business loan. Similar to the traditional business loans that you are used to seeing, Kapitus Equipment Financing has monthly payments that include interest and principal over a fixed term. With equipment financing, however, the full equipment cost is paid directly to the vendor/seller upfront.
A: While both equipment financing and equipment leasing can be used to acquire new equipment for your business, they do have some very distinct differences. The main difference between these two options is the ownership of the equipment. When you use equipment financing, you are purchasing the equipment from a vendor and you are, therefore, the owner of the equipment. With equipment leasing, however, you do not own the equipment outright. Instead, you are renting equipment through a leasing company for an agreed upon amount of time, with the option to purchase at the end of your lease agreement.
A: Equipment Financing is a collateralized loan that allows you to purchase equipment for business use. There are many benefits to equipment financing, including:
- Preserve existing working
- Tax advantages through the Section 179 Tax Deduction*
- Improve your credit score with timely payments
An equipment lease is, essentially, a rental agreement between an equipment vendor and a business, where you rent equipment from a vendor for a monthly payment. You do not own the equipment during the lease term (think along the lines of leasing a car for personal use – it’s just like that!). There are many benefits to equipment leasing, including:
- Preserve existing cash flow
- Permits regular upgrades to your equipment
- Tax advantages through the Section 179 Tax Deduction*
* Always consult your tax advisor as to any tax advantages that may be available with equipment financing and leasing, as the tax code may change each year (or even mid-year) without notice.
A: Kapitus equipment financing is not just for heavy machinery. In fact, you can finance almost any type of equipment, vehicle or software you need to run your business. Here are just some of the business equipment needs that you can get covered:
- X-Ray Machines, Autoclaves, CAD/CAM Technology, Dental Treatment Units and more
- Bull Dozers, wheel loaders, telehandlers, aerial platforms, trenchers, pavers and more
- Solar Panels and HVAC Units
- Commercial mowers, front-end tractors, loaders, back hoes, excavators and more
- Forklifts, workbenches, flow racks, case sealers, conveyor belts and more
- Office furniture
- Trailers, delivery vans, company cars, food trucks, Commercial ovens, freezers, refrigerators, grills, food processors and more
A: Section 179* of the tax code allows small businesses to deduct the full amount of the purchase price (up to certain limits) of general business equipment. This deduction allows you to substantially lower the amount that you pay for business equipment. You can see additional benefits when your new equipment is leased or financed using Section 179 qualified financing.
To be eligible for this deduction, you must have purchased/ leased/financed your equipment and have it placed into service during the year in which you plan to take the deduction.This use-it-or-lose-it write-off is a great incentive for businesses to purchase, finance or lease the business equipment they need. However, ever-changing federal and state tax laws and tax and stimulus acts can always affect Section 179, so it is critical to speak with your accountant PRIOR to a purchase to determine whether or not your equipment meets eligibility requirements for these tax benefits.
* Always consult your tax advisor as to any tax advantages that may be available with equipment financing and leasing, as the tax code may change each year (or even mid-year) without notice.
