As the name suggests, the loan availed for the specific purpose of availing equipment or a machine to add to the existing capacity or to start a new production line is generally termed as the equipment loan.
An equipment loan can be in the form of lease payments for equipment including financial lease, hire purchase arrangements, operational lease, and the like.
Just as small equipment loans are availed by homeowners for domestic appliances, SMEs and large enterprises also need to avail similar loans for the complex equipment required in the manufacturing, assembly, processing of the products before they reach the market.
The terms of equipment loans and the interest rates vary from one lender to another.
