What does a business need to know before entering an equipment financing agreement?

• Infographic: The Road to Equipment Finance – This infographic offers a snapshot of equipment financing. It gives readers a visual explanation of how equipment finance equips businesses for success, www.EquipmentFinanceAdvantage.org/infographic.

“There’s a reason that seven out of 10 companies lease or finance their equipment; it makes good business sense,” says ELFA President and CEO William G. Sutton, CAE. “We are pleased to present a new video, toolkit and infographic to answer questions companies may have about acquiring equipment and to help them get started on the road to equipment finance. As all three resources point out, equipment finance is not only a smart and flexible equipment solution for businesses, it’s also an engine for U.S. economic growth, fostering innovation, supporting manufacturing and creating jobs.”
