What's the maximum approval amount for someone with very good FICO, and limited but good business credit history? Can say someone that does 300k gross get approved for 1 million in equipment financing?
Hey @4.0gpa44, thanks for asking your question! Typically speaking, the amount a business can get approved for is based off their comparable business debt. Most programs require a minimum of 50% comp borrowing history under the business. That means if you are trying to borrow $200,000 for your business, you will need to have borrowed $100,000 under the business and show timely payments. We aren't necessarily looking for that trade line to be paid off. Rather, that your business could handle the payments and stay current. Regarding the $1 million in financing, we can divide it into smaller transactions based on what equipment you are purchasing. This approach can simplify the approval process. If you don't have the 50% comparable business debt for that total amount, it may be easier to secure the financing you need. If we can't get you approved for the total amount all at once, we can assess your business's capacity to handle increasing debt and manage it efficiently. These transactions will be reported publicly, reflecting your ability to take on more financial responsibilities over time. www.beaconfunding.com/blog/article/category/business-planning/establishing-understanding-the-importance-of-business-credit#how-do-you-establish-business-credit When discussing significant financing amounts, it's crucial to consider your overall credit exposure. Underwriters will assess your outstanding debts and your business's revenue. Business borrowing capacity is generally higher than personal debt, but underwriters ensure that your business doesn't take on more than it can manage effectively.

@@BeaconfundingThanks for your detailed reply. Much of the equipment is around 100-200k per piece of equipment that I'm considering getting at some point. It is a wood chipper, chipper truck, aerial lift, dump truck, etc. Would getting approved for each piece of equipment be tricky with limited borrowing history if processed separately? I'm just trying to plan out my business growth.
@4.0gpa44 No. In fact, with a limited borrowing history, it might be the only way to get approved. Lenders will be more hesitant to go "all in" without that comparable payment history mentioned in the previous message. If your business credit is limited, underwriters would rather gradually add capital material to make sure the business can handle the additional monthly payments without it being a burden. Ideally, you would have additional revenue as you add more equipment -- this will help show a healthy growing business. The situation you described is why a business would benefit from partnering with an equipment financing company. Our goal is to help you grow with multiple pieces of equipment and scale your business. Whether you are buying that equipment today, or planning on making these purchases next year, I encourage you to speak with a Business Development Consultant about your specific situation.

I found out that applying for more than one (1) piece of equipment say “3 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Cargo Vans” or “4 Freightliner Semi Trucks/ NON-CDL Straight Box Trucks” it looks MORE appealing to the lender to finance the equipment leasing deal than just one (1) piece of business equipment. Is that TRUE?
We wouldn’t say that is a true or false statement. Rather, it will depend on what business credit you have established, how much cash your business currently generates, and how much debt your business is paying. For example, if your business is getting multiple pieces of equipment, has well-established business credit, and has the cash flow to handle the corresponding monthly payment, then it might make the most sense to do all that equipment under the same lease. It will be easier and as long as the amount you are financing is within the program's overall parameters, it might be the approval you qualify for. On the contrary, if we take that same business in a different scenario: They have a significant amount of debt in comparison to their cash flow, meaning most of the gross revenue they are taking in every month is being used to keep up with its monthly payments on current lease agreements, then it might not make sense to add a significant amount of additional debt all at once. Rather, it would behoove the customer and the finance company to take on 1 new piece of equipment at a time. This is just one hypothetical. Every business is different. The best thing you can do is speak with a business development consultant to see what makes the most sense for your situation. We hope this answers your question!

1) What's the average credit score recommended for approval? 2) Which scoring model do you check? Transunion, Experian, or Equifax? Presumably FICO score?
