If you have plans to
apply for business equipment leasing, read on the following tips on how you can get a fast approval from your equipment leasing application:
Prepare all necessary documentations. Don’t waste your time looking for the required documentations just when the leasing company is already asking for it. Know in advance which types of documents are needed even before you submit your leasing application.
Generally, you’ll need to prepare a business plan, a history of your company, description of your business, a list of the equipment you wish to lease, your credit report, references for your business, etc. Your business plan should include your projected expenses, earnings and lease payments in case you obtain approval for your leasing.
It will also save you a lot of time if you let a Certified Public Accountant prepare a financial statement for the past years of your business. To be sure, you can call your prospective leasing company and ask the exact details about the paperworks needed.
Request and review possible quotes. Consider all your options before choosing a particular leasing company. Make sure that you’ll get the best rates by requesting for possible quotes and reviewing each one carefully. This will help you compile your equipment leasing request better.
Provide a number of credible references. Leasing companies appreciate it more if you give as many references as possible. Don’t include former clients if you have a history of conflict or complaints with them. Even if the matter has already been resolved, it can still have a negative impact to your business’s name. This shows your capability to pay and sincerity as a borrower. Don’t forget to provide the name, complete address and contact number of your references.
Have an attorney review the contract. Don’t sign up anything without having an expert have a look at the stipulations of your contract. Remember that any signed agreement is obligatory and you will not want to be bounded with unreasonable terms just because you did not check the document when you signed it.
Check your business’s credit history. Make sure that your business account is free from past due debts and conflicts from any creditor. You need a good credit status if you want to get a fast and easy approval. If your business has just started, make sure that your personal credit history is excellent and impressive. If you have present problems with your credit report, do the necessary actions first to improve your credit status.
Consider paying through ACH Debiting. ACH Debiting is an arrangement between you, your bank and your leasing company where your lease payments are automatically deducted from your account each month. This type of arrangement is ideal because it prevents the possibility of delaying or missing your payment dues.
As much as possible, make way for actions that will enhance your credit. You can enhance your credit status by obtaining more assets and investing in bonds or stocks. These will greatly boost your credit rating and make it easy for leasing companies to grant you approval.
