Equipment financing
Equipment financing is a loan structure where the equipment itself serves as collateral, enabling businesses to purchase or lease machinery without depleting cash reserves. Payments align with the productive life of the asset, so a feed mill upgrading grain handling equipment or a contractor replacing excavators can generate revenue while paying down the financing. Harbormist Credit works as your broker, presenting your scenario to multiple lenders and walking you through documentation, terms, and closing.
Tye sits at the intersection of FM 1235 and Interstate 20, making it a natural hub for ag-service businesses and freight-dependent operations that rely on specialized equipment. When a Tye grain elevator needs a new conveyor system or a trucking company wants to add refrigerated trailers, equipment financing keeps the purchase affordable without tying up the capital needed for payroll or inventory.
Equipment financing
Harbormist Credit starts every engagement by understanding what equipment you need and how it fits your revenue model. We gather financial statements, equipment quotes, and business history, then present your file to lenders who specialize in your industry and asset type. Because we are a broker, not a lender, we compare programs from SBA 7(a) equipment loans to direct equipment financing and lease structures, finding the terms that match your cash flow.
Imagine a Tye welding shop on South Front Street that wants to add a CNC plasma table. The owner has a strong order book but limited cash on hand. Harbormist Credit brokers an equipment financing agreement where the table itself secures the loan, payments stay within monthly revenue, and the shop scales capacity without draining reserves. We handle lender communication, coordinate the vendor invoice, and ensure the funding arrives when the equipment ships.
