Equipment Financing
Equipment financing can help your business acquire the machinery, vehicles, technology, or other equipment it needs — funding in as little as 48 hours for standard equipment — without paying the full cost upfront.
The short answer
Equipment financing is business financing used to purchase machinery, vehicles, technology, and tools, where the equipment itself may help secure the loan. Paradise Working Capital, a Hawaii-based broker, reviews the asset, business, and repayment plan and matches the request to a participating funding source.
How This Program Works
Equipment financing is used to purchase business equipment, including new or used machinery, vehicles, technology, and specialized tools. The equipment may help secure the financing, while the funding source reviews the asset, business, repayment plan, and supporting documents.
New or used equipment may be considered
Asset, business, and repayment reviewed
Supporting documents required
Terms vary by funding source

Based on these inputs, this is an estimate to discuss — not an approval or offer.
This calculator estimates potential Equipment Financing funding based on the requested amount, within this program's typical range of $15K – $250M. This program is generally sized by the underlying asset, property, or invoice value rather than monthly revenue. Estimates are for illustration only and do not constitute a loan offer.
Pre-qualification credit check: Our initial pre-qualification review uses a soft credit pull* — it does not affect your credit score. All estimates require a completed application and the requested documents for full review. Paradise Working Capital is a broker, not a direct lender. Program availability, funding amounts, and terms are subject to lender approval.
*See important information: after you choose to move forward, a participating lender may request a full credit inquiry as part of approval or subsequent underwriting. We will explain that step before it occurs.

Equipment Financing — Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I get funded?
Standard equipment can fund in as little as 48 hours once a complete application and documents are submitted; titled assets (vehicles, etc.) typically take a few business days. Larger or more complex transactions can take longer. Exact timing depends on the equipment, business, and participating funding source — no specific timing is guaranteed.
What documents do I need to apply?
Typically: a completed application, an invoice or quote for the equipment being financed, and basic business information. Larger requests may also need business tax returns, financial statements, and recent bank statements. Exact requirements depend on the funding source and deal size.
Can I finance used equipment?
Some funding sources consider used equipment. The asset, condition, cost, business use, and supporting documents are reviewed case by case.
Do I need great credit?
Credit requirements vary. The equipment may be part of the review, but it does not guarantee approval or replace the need for a complete application and documents.
Start Your Funding Review
To identify a suitable program, we need the completed form and the requested business documents. You can upload them below so we can review the full picture; additional information may be requested depending on the program and funding source.
⚠️ Required for an accurate review: at least 2 months of recent business bank statements (some programs need up to 6), plus your business details below (time in business, entity type, revenue). Applications missing these go to manual review, which slows things down.
