About Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1873 by railway engineer Eduard Fränckel and financiers including André Oscar Wallenberg, according to the company's history. Today the group has four business areas: Compressor Technique, Vacuum Technique, Industrial Technique and Power Technique, serving customers in about 180 countries.
Atlas Copco equipment on our list

How lenders view industrial compressors
An industrial compressor is usually part of a plant's core infrastructure, and installation (piping, electrical, dryers and receivers) can be a meaningful share of the cost. Lenders look at the compressor's size, age and service history, and at the business's financials. Some lenders will finance installation and ancillary equipment when they are on the same quote.
Energy savings and upgrades
Businesses often replace older compressors to cut energy use, for example by moving to variable-speed models. Lenders may view an upgrade that lowers operating costs favourably, though they still base the decision on the business's ability to pay. Utility rebate programs may be available in some provinces and states, so check before you buy.
How Atlas Copco equipment financing works
Most Atlas Copco purchases are financed with an equipment loan or a lease. A loan gives you ownership from day one, with the lender registering a security interest (PPSA in Canada, UCC in the USA). A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.
What lenders check on a Atlas Copco compressor
Lenders look at the machine type, installation and tooling costs, and the contracts or production the equipment supports. Soft costs such as rigging and installation may be included, subject to lender approval.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and age and usage, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Atlas Copco equipment
In Canada, machinery used to manufacture or process goods has its own CCA classes (Class 43 and Class 53), and which one applies depends on the asset and purchase date. Confirm the class with your accountant. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
