Even though we are going through tough credit times, farming and agricultural machine and equipment financing and leasing is still accessible for the good credit applicant and also for the not so good applicant. We are going to talk about the obtainable finance and lease programs in general to give you an plan that money is still on hand for start up and seasoned businesses.

First we are going to begin with the applicant with fantastic credit. That would be an candidate with 680 or higher credit and time in business that exceeds three years. The candidate should not have any past bankruptcies and should have low debt ratios. This candidate can qualify up to $50,000 to $75,000 application only programs. Also, this gives the good credit applicant a good opportunity to acquire a great lending rate. If the applicant desires more than $50,000 to $75,000, they will have to provide more records to qualify.

They should have a minimum of three years in business without former bankruptcies. Low debt to income ratios are also looked at favorable.

There are other financial institutions that are not credit driven, but are story book driven. They work with start ups and seasoned businesses without flawless credit. They are more cash driven, and require some additional requirements to qualify. These institutions rates are higher than the programs described above but gives the applicant alternatives that might nor be obtainable somewhere else..

There are other institutions that are not credit driven at all but look at the free and clear assets that are obtainable to the lender. Most financial institutions like machinery, bulldozers, trucks, excavators, etc that have retained a good value.

One should call to locate out the particular details (Copies of free and Clear Titles are required).These finance and lease programs can finance up to $5,000,000 or more based upon qualified assets.

In this recession, many banks have had to focus on their repossessed farming and agricultural machinery and equipment inventories instead of standard business due to cash flow demands, out of balance credit lines with their own lenders, and competing with other lenders for the small supply of buyers in the market place.

In the prior better times, there were many application only programs up to $250,000 and $150,000. This meant there were no financial statements, tax returns or bank statements required. Today, there are less application only lending programs on hand, or the available programs require more information and their rate factors are higher than before. Due to problems in the industry, many banks have gone back to more conventional lending requirements. .
