Finance and lease production, plant, and manufacturing programs are still available for new and used machinery and equipment, however leasing and financing size for the first part of 2010, was mostly flat for most United Statesbusinesses.

Even though we are going through hard credit times, production, plant and manufacturing machinery and equipment financing and leasing is still on hand for the good credit applicant and as well for the not so good applicant. We are going to discuss the accessible finance and lease programs in general to give you an idea that funds is still on hand for start up and seasoned businesses.

First we are going to start with the candidate with great credit. That would be an applicant with 680 or higher credit and time in business that exceeds three years. The candidate should not have any previous bankruptcies and should have low debt ratios. This candidate can qualify up to $50,000 to $75,000 application only programs. In addition, this gives the good credit applicant a good opportunity to obtain a great lending rate. If the candidate seeks more than $50,000 to $75,000, they will have to make available more documentation to qualify. This would include two years prior years business and personal income tax returns and the summary page of your last three months business bank statements.( high average bank balances are looked at favorable) A personal financial statement might be required as well as interim financial statements. A copy of the purchase order detailing the acquisition would be necessary. as well

Clientele with personal credit scores between 650 and higher still have a good opportunity to acquire their desired acquisition. They should have a minimum of three years in business without prior bankruptcies. Low debt to income ratios are also looked at favorable. Additionally, some lenders still might offer application only programs and anything beyond the minimum application only levels would need the same documents as above.

With the second tier credit indicated above, the rates will be somewhat higher than “A” Credit with great work and manufacturing, plant, and production equipment financing and leasing opportunities accessible.

Applicants with Credit scores between 600-650, there are many production, plant and manufacturing equipment banking programs available without flawless credit. Even though there may be some dings on the applicant’s credit, there are still financing and leasing deals out in the financing market. There won’t be application only programs but loads ofbankswill look at you. Once again, strong healthy bank balances with time in business with profitable operations showing on your tax return is a big plus… Usually, full documentation information is required. The front money in these leasing programs can run anywhere from 10-20% where as the first two programs can run as low as the first two payments..

There are other banks 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 need some additional requirements to qualify. These lenders rates are higher than the programs described above but gives the applicant alternatives that might nor be obtainable somewhere else..

There are other lenders that are not credit driven at all but look at the free and clear assets that are open to the lender. Most banks like machinery, bulldozers, trucks, excavators, etc that have retained a good value. These are cash poor customers but have good qualified assets that the bank will qualify. These institutions have their own method to work out a lending base. One should call to uncover 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 warhouse equipment and warehouse inventories instead of standard business due to cash flow demands, out of balance credit lines with their own banks, and competing with other lenders for the small supply of buyers in the market place.

In the earlier 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 open, 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 wants. .

These lending changes have a tremendous impact on normal business for marginal credit buyers, start up businesses and more mature businesses. One interesting area that has arisen out of this economic downturn is dealer/special financing. With all the repossessions in the market place today, buyers still have a unlike business opportunity to get a repossession with a credit score as low as 550. Repossessions can be acquired with very little or no money down, sixty months to repay, regardless of age, and more favorable financing terms than conventional lending

Since new business capital is difficult to obtain, it is recommended that the start up and seasoned business investigate the repo markets. This could be a gratifying in the combination of both price and financing.Keep in mind, there are finance and lease programs that go into the millions for larger applicants, obvious they will require full documentation packages.

If conventional isn't accessible to you for whatever reason, please check out the repossession market and see what deals you may be eligible for.

Happy hunting for your work and manufacturing, plant and production equipment and machinery acquisition and its related lending.
