Why iLease Capital

Small business owners wear many hats.
We make equipment financing simple.

No category gatekeeping

Equipment that works for your business works for us. Whether you're a contractor, service provider, or small manufacturer, we finance the tools that make you more efficient and profitable — no artificial category limits.

Cash flow friendly

You don't have $50K sitting in cash for a new compressor or truck. A $1 buyout lease preserves your capital and gives you immediate tax deductions under Section 179. Payments are predictable and tax deductible.

Quick decisions for time-sensitive buys

You find the right used equipment, or a sales window closes in 48 hours. Same-day pre-approval means you can move when the timing is right, not when paperwork clears.

Residual-friendly structures

Equipment holds value, and we use that to negotiate better terms from lenders. If you own the asset free and clear, a sale-leaseback converts dormant equity into working capital right now.

Upgrade paths built in

Lease structures can include equipment-swap options so when technology or your business needs change, upgrading is straightforward — not a new application process.

Soft inquiry first

We start with a soft inquiry to review your profile. A full credit review may be part of final approval once you move forward with a lender.

Process

Simple application.
Fast decision.

Apply online in about four minutes. Equipment type, approximate cost, basic business info. We run a soft pre-qualification and return preliminary terms same day in most cases. A hard credit pull may be part of final approval.

With 50+ lender relationships, we find the right fit for your deal. Lease, $1 buyout, term loan, or sale-leaseback on equipment you already own. We match the structure to your cash flow and business goals.

Terms up to 84 months. Decisions often within hours, not days.

Common Questions

Small Business Equipment,
Answered.

What if my equipment doesn't fit a specific category?

We finance any business-use equipment. If it supports your operations, generates revenue, or makes you more efficient, we can work with it. Common financeable items include tools, vehicles, production gear, technology, safety equipment, and fixtures. If you're unsure, ask us — we probably can help.

Can I finance used equipment I find myself?

Yes. Used equipment from established manufacturers is financeable. What matters is that the equipment is functional, has documented condition or history, and holds measurable residual value. Used gear often finances faster because lenders can price the collateral immediately.

How much cash do I need for a down payment?

Down payment depends on the lender and the equipment, but typically ranges from 10-30% of the purchase price. Some lenders will finance 90% of the cost if your credit and business financials are strong. A $1 buyout lease effectively eliminates the down payment by treating the whole cost as lease expense.

Can I roll multiple pieces of equipment into one financing deal?

Yes. If you're buying a truck, tools, and workshop equipment together, bundling them into a single financing package is faster and typically cheaper than separate applications. One payment, one lender relationship, one approval process.

How does Section 179 work for small business equipment?

Under a $1 buyout lease or Equipment Finance Agreement, the IRS treats the transaction as a purchase, allowing full Section 179 deductibility in the year placed in service. That converts your equipment cost into a tax deduction that offsets other business income. Consult your CPA on your specific situation, but it's a powerful small-business benefit.

What if my credit isn't perfect?

We work with lenders who focus on the equipment and your business stability, not just credit scores. Strong collateral (the equipment itself), 2+ years in business, and reasonable cash flow often matter more than a perfect credit profile. We'll be honest about whether a deal fits.
