What moves your rate
Rates start at 9.9% for qualified files. These are the levers.
Credit and PayNet
Higher scores and a spotless PayNet earn the best tier.
Time in business
More years, less risk, better pricing.
The equipment
Newer, heavier, in-demand machines with low hours price better.
Advance amount
Asking for less than the 60% cap can help.
Deal structure
Lease, EFA or term loan secured by the assets, chosen to fit the file.
Financials
Larger deals may need financial statements; strong ones help.
What to send for a real quote
Send these and the quote you get will be close to the offer.
Equipment list
Year, make, model, serial number and hours for each machine.
What you owe
Current lender and approximate payoff, if any.
Business basics
Legal name, years in business and the owner’s information for the soft inquiry.
Bank statements or financials
Recent bank statements; larger deals may also need financial statements.
Liberty Capital places this program with a dedicated heavy-equipment lender, so you get one clear answer instead of a dozen calls. Our quotes run conservative on purpose: if you qualify for better, you get better.
How the deal is structured
Every refinance gets papered to fit the equipment and the file. 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 |
