How much cash is in your iron
The advance is up to 60% of orderly liquidation value, the price the machines would bring in a planned sale. Here is what that looks like in dollars.

What owners in Maryland use the cash for
Once funded, the cash is yours to run the business.
Payroll and materials
Cover the gap between starting a job and getting paid on it.
Bonding and bids
Show liquidity for bonding capacity and bigger contracts.
Paying off expensive debt
Replace daily-debit advances with one fixed monthly payment.
Another machine
Use the cash as a down payment or buy used iron outright.
Seasonal slowdowns
Carry the business through winter or the rainy season.
Taxes and repairs
Handle a tax bill or a major rebuild without draining the account.
How the deal is structured
There is no single contract for every deal. Depending on the machines and your credit, the lender writes it one of three ways. All three end the same way for you: cash or a payoff now, one fixed monthly payment for 36 months.
Lease
The lender takes ownership of the units and leases them back to you with a fixed monthly payment. Common when the equipment is free and clear.
Equipment finance agreement (EFA)
You keep ownership and the lender holds a security interest in the specific units. Simple, fixed payments, no balloon.
Term loan secured by the assets
A loan collateralized by the specific machines: the lender is added as lienholder on titled units, or files a new UCC on the specific serial numbers for non-titled iron. Not a blanket lien on the whole business.
Prepayment: whether you can pay it off early, and what that costs, depends on which agreement your deal is written on. Ask for it in writing before you sign.
Put simply, this is a monthly payment working capital cash out refi on heavy equipment: the advance is capped at 60% LTV, and you pay it back in fixed monthly installments, not daily or weekly debits.

Not a fit for this program? Here is what works instead
No single program fits every business. If your equipment or your file falls outside the refinance guidelines, there is usually another way to get to the cash. Here is how we route it.
Other equipment and situations
| If you have… | Why it is outside this program | What we do instead |
|---|---|---|
| Trucks, trailers, fleet vehicles or an owner-operator rig | The refinance lender takes heavy equipment only | Commercial truck financing for vocational trucks, or a sale-leaseback |
| Medical, restaurant, POS, office or technology equipment | Soft and specialty equipment is not yellow iron | New or replacement equipment through equipment leasing: terms up to 60 months, most with a $1 buyout, low fixed payments that conserve cash, an inflation buster, and possible Section 179 deductions |
| CNC, manufacturing, industrial machinery, marine, aviation or oil and gas equipment | Outside the refinance lender’s collateral list | A sale-leaseback or working capital, reviewed case by case |
| Credit under 700, a startup, or under 3 years in business | The program requires 700+, clean PayNet and 3+ years | Bad credit equipment leasing or working capital, priced for the risk |
| A need for no-doc, same-day money | Refinance needs equipment details and a review | Working capital can move faster. Honestly, approved today usually means funded the next business day, not same day |
| Equipment older than 15 years | Past the age limit | A sale-leaseback or working capital |
| Interest in an SBA or USDA refinance | A different, government-backed product | SBA loans: longer terms and lower rates, but slower and paperwork-heavy |
