★ Equipment Sale-Leaseback

Turn the Equipment You Own Into Working Capital — and Keep Using It.

Your paid-off machines, trucks and production lines are worth real money. With a sale-leaseback, you sell that equipment at fair market value, lease it right back, and put the cash to work — without a day of downtime and without tying up your bank lines.

Soft pull only — no effect on your personal credit. No obligation. Not sure if a sale-leaseback is right for you? Ask Athena — she will talk it through with you, day or night.

How It Works

Five Steps From Owned Equipment to Cash in the Bank

Evaluation

The lender assesses the value and eligibility of the equipment you own outright.

Sale

You sell the equipment at fair market value and receive the cash as one lump sum.

Leaseback

At the same moment, you lease it back on a term and payment built around your cash flow.

Keep Operating

The equipment never leaves your site. Your crews, your schedule, your jobs — unchanged.

Your Choice at Lease End

Buy it back, extend the lease, or move into financing for new equipment.

Who Uses It

Built for Businesses With Valuable Equipment and a Big Next Move

Construction Firms

Paid-off yellow iron can raise the cash needed to bond and win a larger job — while the same machines keep working on the current one.

Manufacturers

Fund an acquisition, an expansion or a new line without drawing down the bank line you keep for operations.

Transportation Companies

Bridge a seasonal cash gap without selling the trucks and trailers you run every day.

Checking what you qualify for is a soft pull only — no effect on your personal credit. No obligation.

Straight Answers

Sale-Leaseback Questions

What is an equipment sale-leaseback?

You sell equipment your business already owns to a lender at its fair market value, and at the same time you lease it back. You receive a lump sum of working capital, and the equipment never leaves your site.

Do I lose the use of my equipment?

No. The equipment stays where it is and your crews keep running it. The only thing that changes is who holds the title during the lease.

How much can I raise?

Programs through our lender partners typically range from $250,000 to $30 million. The amount depends on the assessed value and eligibility of the equipment you own.

Does the equipment have to be paid off?

Yes. A sale-leaseback works with equipment you own outright. If it still carries a loan, tell Athena — we will look at whether a refinance or another program fits better.

How fast does it close?

Sale-leasebacks typically close in days or weeks, not months, once the equipment has been evaluated.

What happens at the end of the lease?

You choose: buy the equipment back, extend the lease, or move into financing for new equipment.

Are the lease payments tax-deductible?

They can be, depending on how the lease is structured. We Finance America does not provide tax advice — please confirm with your CPA.

Will checking my options hurt my credit?

No. Checking what you qualify for is a soft pull only, with no effect on your personal credit.
