Request Equipment Financing

Calculate Payment

What belongs in the equipment quote?

Itemize the insulated enclosure, doors, refrigeration equipment, controls, monitoring and installation. Separate building-related work and storage fixtures from the cooling equipment.

Check suitability, condition and installation

Have qualified suppliers assess stored products, operating conditions, site layout, power and commissioning. Confirm loading access and how storage will continue during installation.

For used equipment, request identification, refrigeration service history, condition of panels and seals, and relocation requirements. Verify that components form a suitable supported system.

Budget for the complete acquisition

Budget energy, maintenance, monitoring, installation and contingency storage. Keep potential product-transfer and downtime costs visible when replacing an operating facility.

BDC recommends budgeting acquisition extras such as delivery, installation and training alongside the equipment price. See BDC equipment financing guidance.

Compare the financing structure

A purchase loan and an equipment lease create different ownership and end-of-term obligations. Compare cash required upfront, all payments and fees, any final amount, early-exit terms and responsibility for maintenance. A lease does not automatically include a free upgrade or ownership transfer.

Use the equipment financing calculator for payment illustrations, then request a written proposal. Match the commitment to the period the equipment should remain useful and supported.

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.

Questions about Industrial Cold Storage System financing

Can panels, refrigeration and installation be reviewed together?

Provide a complete itemized project and identify each supplier. The lender may treat movable equipment and permanent improvements differently.

Can a used refrigeration system be relocated?

Have a qualified supplier assess the actual system, dismantling, transport and recommissioning costs. Confirm condition, support and suitability for the new site before committing.

What if the supplier requires deposits or progress payments?

Provide the contract and milestone schedule before committing. Ask which payments the lender can support, which require your cash and what delivery or acceptance conditions must be met. Do not assume a standard agreement funds every advance.
