Why online beats the old way

Buying professional equipment shouldn’t mean weeks of phone tag, paper forms, and stalled delivery dates. A modern, online application centralizes everything—credit review, document collection, pricing, and vendor coordination—so you can go from quote to funded in days, often within 24–48 hours once your file is complete. Start with Mehmi’s Equipment Financing hub and model payments in minutes using the calculator.

What “online” really gives you

  • One application, multiple options: Instantly compare equipment loans, leases, and an equipment line of credit.

  • Accurate estimates, early: Enter price, term, and (if leasing) buyout to see cash-flow impact before you commit via the calculator.

  • Digital docs & e-sign: Upload bank statements, quotes, IDs, and sign approvals without printing.

  • Real-time status: Track conditions cleared, insurance received, and delivery scheduling.

  • Vendor coordination: Mehmi can sell equipment directly from in-house inventory or coordinate with your vendor so funding and delivery line up.

How it simplifies purchasing (at a glance)

Step Traditional Process Online with Mehmi
Initial Quote Multiple calls and spreadsheets Self-serve estimates via calculator
Application Paper forms, faxed IDs Digital application, secure uploads, e-sign
Underwriting Back-and-forth for weeks Credit, cash-flow, and asset review in 24–48h
Docs & Insurance Manual edits, courier delays Template docs + checklist; easy insurance binder
Delivery & Funding Mismatched timing with vendor Coordinated funding and delivery—often same day

A simple, five-step path

  1. Price your equipment (new or used) and confirm it’s on our Eligible Equipment list.

  2. Model payments for 48/60/72-month terms (and a lease buyout if needed) with the calculator.

  3. Apply online with 3–6 months of business bank statements and your vendor quote (or choose a unit from our inventory).

  4. Clear conditions fast: insurance binder (lender as loss payee), updated quote with serials/specs, and e-signed documents.

  5. Schedule delivery: we coordinate vendor invoice, funding release, and drop-off/installation.

Loan vs lease: pick the structure that fits

  • Choose a loan when you’ll keep the asset long-term and want straightforward ownership.

  • Choose a lease when you want lower monthly payments and an upgrade path with a residual/buyout.
    If you already own gear but need cash to purchase another unit, consider Refinancing & Sales-Leaseback to unlock equity.

Industry specifics (what to prep)

Case study: from quote to install in a week

An Ontario millwork shop needed a used edgebander and dust collector to fulfill a retail rollout. They priced two options from Mehmi’s inventory, modeled 60-month loan vs 60-month lease with 10% buyout in the calculator, and chose the lease for lower monthly payments. With digital bank statements, e-sign, and a same-day insurance binder, they cleared conditions within 36 hours and scheduled delivery that Friday. Production started Monday.
