Equipment Refinancing is used to monetize the equity tied up in long-term assets such as machinery or vehicles owned by a business. Assets already owned by the business can be refinanced to release funds for use to raise capital, consolidate debt, or replace existing debt using the equipment as collateral for the loan.

Equipment Refinancing is a:

  • Type of financing solution that leverages your business’ existing assets.
  • Financial tool used to convert long-term assets into cash in hand.
  • Term loan with a specified repayment schedule and a fixed or floating interest rate.

Unlock the power of your assets to secure the financing your business needs.

DO THESE SCENARIOS SOUND FAMILIAR TO YOU?

Whether you’re going through a period of growth or need some leverage during a turnaround scenario, eCapital can help with our various equipment refinancing options. Here’s an example of a few clients we’ve helped:

OTR FLEET BUSINESS OUT OF OMAHA, NE, USA

OVERVIEW

Looking for $~4-5mm to pay drivers and cover some short-term working cap needs.

PROBLEM

This strong trucking business did $85mm+ in revenue and $7mm+ in EBITDA in 2022, but were hit hard by the drop in freight demand coupled with higher diesel prices and have a cash crunch. They needed to pay their drivers and cover some short-term working capital needs to keep their business running smoothly.

SOLUTION

eCapital helped this trucking business leverage their abundance of collateral in the form of trucks, trailers, real estate, and accounts receivables to get them a short-term boost in capital. This business was able to quickly pay their drivers and purchase more trucks & trailers to expand their fleet.

200+ FLEET OPERATION OUT OF CHICAGO, IL, USA

OVERVIEW

Equipment refinancing helps a fleet of Chassis trailers get the cash needed for important growth.

PROBLEM

Having reached the max in facility size at their current factoring company, this Chicago-based trucking company’s growth trajectory had stalled. As a fleet of 200 trailers, 180 were owned outright, leaving 20 brand new trailers under bank loans. The trucking company was experiencing extreme cash strain. They needed more cash to not only keep the business running but position them to meet their business goals that year.

SOLUTION

This trucking company reached out to eCapital, who reviewed the business statements and helped them understand their options.  We first extended the fleet’s facility limit to accommodate the company’s growth in A/R. We then were able to refinance the debt owed on the remaining 20 trailers in the fleet, which provided the company with the immediate cash needed for their business. In refinancing the existing equipment, the fleet was able to reinvest in their business and regain competitive advantage in the market.

SUPER B TANKER BUSINESS OUT OF FORT WORTH, TX, USA

OVERVIEW

Fleet of 35 Super B tankers was experiencing a lack of sufficient funds to stay in business.

PROBLEM

This tanker business was cash flow negative and quickly at risk of going bankrupt, as a result of market demand. They needed cash and felt the next best move was to refinance their trailers. The bank providing the equipment financing for the Trucking Company’s fleet of 35 Super B tanker trailers had reached its internal lending limit and advised the customer that they would not provide equipment refinancing loans.

SOLUTION

The Super B tanker business needed access to working capital to strengthen operations and right-size the business. We initiated an easy qualification process and got to work on flexible lending terms based on the fleet’s situation and business objectives.  First we gave the tanker business an increased A/R facility. Then we assessed the financial worth of the fleet of 35 trailers and proposed a term loan solution. There was value in their trailers. This tanker business used the capital from the loan and applied it back to the business.

COMMERCIAL RECYCLING MANUFACTURER, FL, USA

OVERVIEW

Looking for $~2-3mm short-term working capital to purchase manufacturing equipment & a new HDPE plastics mould.

PROBLEM

This expanding commercial manufacturer did $25mm+ in revenue and $4mm+ in EBITDA in 2022 but were needing to shift their product mix to abide by new government regulations. Rising inventory due to the global pandemic put this strong business into a short-term cash crunch that restricted expansion initiatives.

SOLUTION

eCapital helped this successful manufacturer exit their short-term cash crunch by leveraging two 2021 Scholer Industrial CNC machines, existing inventory, and their outstanding accounts receivables. The manufacturer was able to use their unlocked working capital to purchase additional equipment and a new mould, and reintroduce their product offering into shifting markets.

CONTRACT MACHINING & FABRICATION COMPANY, CA, USA

OVERVIEW

Looking for $~1.5-2mm short-term working capital to settle remaining credit at a national bank due to bank credit recall from a covenant breach.

PROBLEM

This expanding manufacturer ran into supply chain difficulties post-pandemic and found itself in a difficult spot with its existing lender. Tightening restrictions from the bank forced this manufacturer to come up with liquid capital in 10 days to settle existing credit and exit the bank relationship. Due to supply chain delays, this business did not have the cash reserves to cover the short-term credit repayment obligations.

SOLUTION

eCapital was able to quickly provide this manufacturer with the short-term cash to cover these repayment obligations and aid in the bank exit. Leveraging outstanding accounts receivables alongside unencumbered manufacturing machinery, eCapital was able to provide this manufacturer with a $1.75 Million term loan to settle existing credit and increase short-term cash flow to meet payroll. From there, eCapital was able to provide them with a new facility of $3.5mm against receivables and $300,000 against company inventory at an APR of 12%, which ended up being $750,000 more working capital than with the bank.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does Equipment Refinancing work?

Here’s how equipment refinancing typically works:

  1. Identify your current assets: The first step in equipment refinancing is to identify your current equipment that you’d like to refinance and gather all important information regarding those assets (i.e Year, Make, Model, Condition, etc.).
  2. Determine the value of your assets: Next, you’ll need to work with eCapital to determine the Net Orderly Liquidation Value (NOLV) of the equipment you’d like to refinance.
  3. Get your assets approved: If your application is approved, eCapital will provide you with a term loan of up to 75% of the NOLV of your equipment.
  4. Make payments: You’ll then make payments to eCapital based on the terms of the new loan. This may include a lower interest rate, longer repayment period, or other benefits that improve your cash flow and help you manage your equipment refinancing more effectively.

What's the difference between Equipment Refinancing and Equipment Financing?

Equipment refinancing is a type of asset-based lending where the equipment serves as collateral for the loan. The purpose of refinancing is typically to obtain a significant injection of working capital or to restructure debt. Refinancing can be used to fund growth, support a turn around strategy, or consolidate multiple loans, making it easier to manage debt more efficiently and improve financial stability.

Equipment financing is a type of business financing used to acquire equipment (new or used) needed for the operation of a business. This financing is typically used when a business needs to acquire equipment but does not have the funds to purchase it outright. The lender will provide funds to purchase the equipment and the business will make regular payments (including interest) over the term of the loan until the equipment is fully paid off.
