Payment structures
Payment shape and end-of-term option are two separate decisions, and most people financing equipment don't know the first one is on the table. Three questions below and you'll see the structure built for how your business actually earns.
Relative shape only. The height shows how payments move against each other, not dollars.
Why this matters more than the rate
Most equipment finance is written as twelve identical payments a year because that is what is easy to book, not because it is what the business needs. A shop that earns two-thirds of its money between April and September has been handed a January payment built for a company that doesn't exist.
Structuring is where a direct lender is genuinely different from a broker. We are not asking a funding source for permission to shape the payment. The decision is made here, so it can be made around your calendar instead of theirs.

Seasonal weighting can sit on top of any other structure, including a deferred start.
One advance rental, then nothing for 90 days while the equipment is installed and commissioned.
Starts lower and increases on a set schedule, for equipment that takes time to reach full utilization.
Machine, controls, integration and a used component sourced separately, structured as a single transaction.
The same amount every month for the full term. Simplest to budget against, and the right answer when the machine earns evenly from the day it lands.
One advance rental, then nothing for 90 days while the equipment is installed and commissioned. Payments begin once it is actually producing.
Payments weighted into the months the business actually earns and stepped down through the quiet part of the year. The obligation follows the revenue instead of fighting it.
Starts lower and increases on a set schedule. Built for equipment that takes time to reach full utilization, so the payment grows as the work does.
Nothing while it is being installed, then payments weighted into the earning months or climbing as utilization builds. Seasonal and step structuring can sit on top of a deferred start.
You own it outright at the end for a nominal amount. The right structure for equipment you intend to keep for its full working life.
The lowest monthly payment, because you are not amortizing the residual. At term you return it, renew, or buy at then-current value. As a true operating lease the rentals are expensed in full.
Most of the payment relief of a fair market value lease, but the end-of-term number is fixed at signing rather than negotiated later. Flexibility without the unknown.
Describe the purchase on the phone and we'll tell you how we'd structure it. No application required to have that conversation.
