Frequently Asked Questions
How many lenders review my application?
APPROVE's large network of lenders is constantly growing, however, our technology matches your application with the lender(s) most likely to offer you the best rates based on your business type and credit profile. If more than one lender is a good fit for your business and credit profile, you may receive competing offers to compare.
How does this affect my credit?
There is no impact to your personal credit, unless a personal guarantee is required. Personal guarantees will have an inquiry on their credit by some lenders. Because these credit inquiries happen in a short timeframe, and for the same products, credit bureaus recognize them as part of a normal shopping process and will view them as a single credit inquiry by lenders.
How long does the application process take?
Can I finance equipment for personal use?
APPROVE does not provide equipment financing to consumers who wish to use the equipment only for personal use. Equipment financing is available to any business or organization that qualifies, including corporations, partnerships, LLCs, sole proprietorships and non-profits.
What is the average cost of financing?
The cost of financing can vary greatly depending on many different factors, including your business credit, industry, time-in-business and additional guarantees that may be pledged. Generally, equipment financing ranges from a 5% to 25% equivalent APR. That said, our approach to using a network of lenders assures you will achieve the lowest cost of financing possible.
Is equipment financing available outside of the United States?
Currently, equipment financing is only available to companies based in the United States and who intend to keep the equipment in the United States.
What is the minimum value of equipment I can finance?
The minimum value of equipment that can be financed is $1,500. On the other hand, there is no maximum amount and our lender network can offer competitive rates on equipment values into the millions.
