Request Equipment Financing

Calculate Payment

Define the equipment and working configuration

Ask the seller to identify appliance or drive inventory, usable capacity, backup software, support, power accessories and connectivity.

Decisions to settle before ordering

Define recovery objectives and have the provider demonstrate restoration of representative data. Storage capacity and successful backup jobs alone do not establish a usable recovery plan.
Identify software subscriptions, cloud-storage charges and encryption-key responsibilities. Keep recurring storage and support costs separate from acquired hardware.

Budget for acquisition and use

Price migration, backup software, off-site copies, recovery testing, support and replacement drives. Separate the equipment amount from installation, consumables and ongoing services so the requested finance amount is clear.

Compare an ownership-focused loan with any proposed lease using total payments, fees and end obligations. Match the term to the planned support and refresh cycle, and confirm return, data-removal, renewal and purchase conditions where applicable.

Review the total acquisition budget with BDC’s equipment-financing planning guide; lender products described there are separate from this request.

Use the equipment payment calculator for illustrations, then request a written proposal with the actual payment schedule and fees.

How does equipment financing work?

Mehmi Financial Group is an equipment finance and leasing brokerage. Depending on the transaction, options may be available through banks, credit unions, equipment finance companies or private and alternative lenders. Products, assets and geographic coverage vary by provider. Financing is subject to credit approval, documentation, equipment eligibility, lender requirements, jurisdiction and final underwriting.

Choose your equipment

Send the seller's quote, price, year, make, model, and serial number when available. For used equipment, include condition, usage, and maintenance details. Confirm financing before making a non-refundable commitment.

Review your options

Share your business history, recent financial information, and equipment plans. Compare the upfront contribution, payment, term, and end-of-term obligation. Availability depends on the asset, business profile, and location.

Complete funding conditions

After approval, complete the agreement, final invoice, insurance, and required payment documents. Any ownership, inspection, and delivery conditions must be cleared before funds are released. Approval is not the same as funding.

Financing questions

Can a backup appliance be financed without a recovery service?

An equipment request can identify the appliance separately, but the business still needs a workable restore process. Ask the supplier what software and services are required, who tests recovery, and which costs remain outside the proposed financing.

What evidence matters for a used purchase?

Request drive health, system diagnostics, software entitlement, support coverage and verified removal of the former owner’s data and credentials. Ask the lender whether an independent inspection or valuation is required; condition and seller evidence should be resolved before a non-refundable commitment.

Can the seller be paid before delivery or installation?

Deposits and staged payments require specific review. Provide the supplier’s payment schedule, delivery terms and acceptance milestones before committing. Funding depends on completed lender conditions; an approval does not automatically release money for an undelivered or unfinished project.
