An Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA) is a simple, flexible financing tool that allows businesses to acquire the equipment they need without a large upfront cost. Unlike a lease, an EFA is structured more like a loan—you own the equipment while making fixed monthly payments over a set term. At the end of the agreement, the equipment is yours, free and clear.

This option is ideal for companies that want the benefits of ownership, predictable payments, and potential tax advantages, while preserving cash flow for other business needs.

Key Benefits of an EFA with AEF

• Ownership from Day One – The equipment is titled in your name, not the lender’s.

• Fixed Monthly Payments – Makes budgeting and cash flow planning predictable.

• Flexible Terms – Repayment periods typically range from 12 to 84 months, depending on your business and equipment type.

• 100% Financing – Finance not only the equipment itself but also related “soft costs” like delivery, installation, and training.

• Tax Advantages – Payments may qualify for deductions, including potential Section 179 benefits. (Always consult your tax advisor.)

• Competitive Rates – Access affordable financing tailored to your business credit profile.
