Equipment purchases have costs beyond the machine itself: a lift needs professional installation, a compressor system needs install, and every delivery has freight. A common question: can those costs be part of the financing?
The direct answer: for some transactions, eligible installation and freight costs may be considered as part of the overall equipment financing request. What qualifies depends on the equipment, the transaction and the applicable program.
WHERE INSTALLATION & FREIGHT COME UP
HOW IT WORKS — THREE STEPS
1. PUT IT ON THE QUOTE
Ask your vendor to itemize installation and freight as separate lines on the equipment quote — directly related costs, clearly shown.
2. INCLUDE IT IN THE APPLICATION
Enter the equipment details and the related costs in your application — the review sees the full project, not just the machines.
3. THE REVIEW DETERMINES WHAT'S ELIGIBLE
Depending on the equipment, the transaction and the program, eligible installation and freight costs may be considered as part of the overall request.
