At a Glance
How should a Toronto business approach a large equipment purchase?
Start with the equipment, total purchase requirement and how the asset will be used. A Toronto manufacturer buying production machinery may need a different financing source from a clinic acquiring medical equipment or a contractor adding vehicles and job-site assets. The transaction should be matched to lenders that understand the equipment and business.

More Ways to Use Equipment Financing
Used Equipment
Used equipment can provide a practical way for a Toronto business to acquire productive assets without buying new. The financing source may consider the age, condition, seller, useful life and secondary market for the equipment.
For specialized assets, the business case and expected working life of the equipment can matter as much as its resale market.
Refinance and Sale-Leaseback
Businesses that own equipment outright or have substantial equity in existing assets may be able to use an equipment refinance or sale-leaseback to access capital.
The equipment remains productive while the released capital can support operations, expansion or another business requirement.
Vendor Financing
Toronto equipment sellers can use Raymond Leigh as a financing resource when a customer wants to purchase equipment without paying the entire amount upfront. A structured financing process can also support dealers and manufacturers with recurring customer demand.
