How equipment finance agreement (efa) works
An Equipment Finance Agreement is the most common structure in commercial equipment finance today. It reads like a lease but works like a loan: you own the equipment, the lender holds a security interest, and when the last payment is made you're done. There's no residual value and nothing to buy out.
EFAs are popular for trucks, yellow iron, medical and restaurant equipment because they fund quickly, often on an application alone up to $1 million, and they keep your bank lines free for working capital.
