Conditions

Banks are much more willing to give a loan when the borrower provides guarantees in the form of collateral. The profit of the enterprise is a rather unstable thing, and the pledge is the type of security that, if the borrower is unable to repay the loan, will remain the property of the bank. In any case, the bank will win.

The following can serve as collateral:

• any production equipment depending on the industry;
• transport;
• special equipment.

Pledge can be new equipment, used equipment purchased, as well as equipment on which the company is already working. Of course, the equipment must be in good condition.

The deposit must have a high degree liquidity in the market, not to be encumbered, not to be arrested and not to become the property of third parties.

Before making a pledge, experts must evaluate it.

This is quite difficult, since there are a lot of nuances in each industry. The estimated value of collateral will always be significantly less than the real (market) value.

A loan secured by the purchased machinery or equipment

Loans secured by purchased machinery and equipment are issued on fairly favorable terms.

Interest on them is sometimes lower than on consumer loans. Organization - the borrower provides the bank with a large package of documents. According to them, the bank evaluates the financial condition and solvency of the client.

The loan is issued at a time or with the opening of a credit line.

Most banks require the borrower to insure the equipment. These are additional financial investments, but without them, a loan may not be issued.

Requirements for borrowers

The borrower can be an organization - a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur, working for at least 6 months and located in the Russian Federation. Good financial and tax reporting is also important.

If an organization has credit history, then it will also be carefully analyzed.

For the bank, the main thing is that the loan amount is returned to it with interest. Therefore, good solvency is the main requirement for the borrower.

The bank will also hesitate to issue a loan to an enterprise that purchases equipment not for production purposes, but, for example, for storage in a warehouse.

Documentation

Each bank sets its own list of documents depending on the area of ​​work of the borrower and on the equipment that is pledged. We note only the general features.

A legal entity or an individual entrepreneur must submit to the bank:

• application form;
• copies of constituent and registration documentation;
• copies of licenses, permits, patents for activities;
• extracts from the state registers of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP;
• copies of passports of individuals - participants in the transaction;
• tax reporting;
• financial statements;
• documentation from banks where the organization is being serviced;
• copies of contracts with equipment suppliers;
• copies of documents substantiating the right to use production areas;
• collateral documents.

Interest rates

The bank sets interest rates at its own discretion. Usually it also depends on the priority of the bank's work with small and large businesses.

The average interest rate on loans secured by purchased equipment can be called in the range of 16-20% per annum.

Maximum and minimum amount

The amount of a secured loan is usually set by the bank as a percentage of the assessed value of the collateral. For example, the bank has set a maximum loan amount of no more than 60% of the assessment amount.

The company buys equipment for the amount 20,000,000 rubles. They rated it in 13,000,000 rubles.

Means, maximum amount will equal 13,000,000 x 60% = 7,800,000 rubles.

Loan terms

The terms of loans secured by equipment can be called average, usually 5-7 years. This is due to the high depreciation of the equipment.

In a few years, it may significantly lose its production capacity and its liquidity will fall.

Debt repayment

These loans can be repaid different ways by agreement with the bank:

• monthly;
• quarterly;
• annuity (equal) payments;
• differentiated (from larger to smaller) payments;
• on an individual schedule;
• according to the seasonal schedule (for seasonal productions).

Individual entrepreneurs or legal entities can use the funds received under targeted equipment loans to purchase new or used equipment to expand their business, organize a new enterprise or upgrade an existing one. Also, the amount may include money for installation, dismantling and repair work.

Issuance conditions

A loan is issued for the development of small businesses secured by purchased equipment. The level of income of an individual enterprise is stipulated by the bank in terms of lending. It also lists what, in addition to the purchased equipment, can act as security. For example:

• Personal car;
• commodity values;
• real estate;
• securities;
• farm animals.

There may also be additional guarantors for the return of funds: municipal organizations, funds, businessmen, other banks. The presence of additional collateral gives the right to reduce the cost of the loan.

If funds are provided for used equipment, then a possible condition for lending will be the existence of an agreement between the seller and the bank's client on the repurchase of the first equipment back in case of insolvency of the second. Since the loan is targeted, the bank has the right to request a justification for the need to purchase equipment, information about suppliers, and so on.

Important! One of the conditions for issuing funds is an advance payment. Its value depends on the amount of the loan and the term for which it is issued.

What equipment can be purchased

Banks stipulate a list of special equipment for which a loan is issued, requirements for its novelty and quality. From these indicators depends on the time of use of the loan and its cost. New equipment is considered to be equipment that has not been in operation since the date of issue and until the date of conclusion of the contract (no more than 2 years).

Before issuing a loan for previously used equipment, the lender establishes the degree of depreciation (it is determined in accordance with the standards in force in the Russian Federation), the possibility of its dismantling and sale in the event of the client's insolvency.

General requirements for borrowers

The main requirements for potential clients are as follows:

1. Russian citizenship.
2. Registration in the Russian Federation.
3. Age from 23 to 70 years (on the day of full payment of the debt) - for individual entrepreneurs.
4. Russian company operating for at least 3 months.
5. Stable income.
6. No delay in repayment of debt on previously taken loans.

Buying medical equipment on credit is one of the ways to finance new projects for your clinic.

The main advantages of a loan for equipping a medical center

No VAT

The medical business is a particularly important segment of the economy, so the main sources of income for the clinic, including the diagnosis and treatment of patients, are free from value added tax. Medical equipment purchased by medical institutions is also sold without VAT, and this is absolutely logical. But with a standard leasing of this equipment, it becomes necessary to charge VAT on the entire amount of the leasing transaction due to the very nature of this financial instrument. That is, for every 100 rubles that the equipment itself costs, the clinic will have to pay 18 rubles of tax, excluding the payment of principal and interest to the leasing company. Since banks are exempt from VAT, you will not face the problem of charging VAT when buying medical equipment on credit.

Instant ownership

When choosing between leasing and a loan for medical equipment, one of the significant arguments is the right of ownership. When buying medical equipment on credit, you immediately get ownership of it, unlike leasing, in which the transfer of ownership occurs after the full term of the leasing transaction. But since in the case of leasing you get the right to use medical equipment, if you do not violate the terms of payment for the leasing agreement and do not intend to sell this equipment, then you will not notice any special advantages of ownership rights (credit) over use rights (leasing).

Territorial proximity

Since there are only a handful of leasing companies that are ready to finance medical equipment, the most important advantage of the bank is its proximity to your clinic. Firstly, it is simply more convenient to work with him, since you do not need to go to the other end of the city, or even fly to another to provide documents in person. Secondly, the bank is more willing to issue a loan to a clinic located in a neighboring house than a leasing company located thousands of kilometers away. Indeed, in the eyes of the leasing company, you are only a name and TIN, and the bank knows about your real work and maybe even its employees were treated by you. And, finally, the best solution would be to get a loan for medical equipment from a bank where you have opened a current account for a long time.

Flexibility

A leasing transaction is always a complex solution, including the purchase, delivery and even insurance of the goods. In this regard, a loan for medical equipment is much more variable. You can choose the supplier, delivery terms, insurance and more. Moreover, you can use several different loans for one purpose. For example, part of the amount is received as a cash loan, part as a loan for business development and the rest directly for the purchase of medical equipment.

In this article, you will learn where to get a small business equipment loan. We have prepared a review of the conditions of 15 banks lending to small businesses for the purchase of equipment.

Conditions

Business representatives often purchase equipment on credit. It may be required by the company as a replacement for the old one or as part of the company's development program. Banks issue loans for the purchase of equipment, the funds for which cannot be spent for other purposes.

The borrower will have to provide all the data about the planned purchase: justification for its need, information about the supplier, and so on. After the purchase, the equipment automatically becomes collateral for this loan. It will be seized and put up for sale if the bank's client fails to repay the loan.

In order for the bank to lower the rate, additional collateral can be provided. The pledge can be not only the purchased equipment, but also:

• gooods at the work;
• real estate;
• transport;
• securities.

The larger the loan amount and the lower the interest rate, the more likely it is that the bank will require the client to pay the down payment. On average, its size is 15-20% of the loan amount.

Requirements for the borrower and the transaction

Not every entrepreneur can easily get a loan to buy equipment. Financial institutions put forward their requirements. Let's consider the most common.

Requirements for the borrower:

• registration in the Russian Federation;
• conducting business activities for at least six months;
• for individual entrepreneurs, age is from 23 to 70 years;
• stable financial position (confirmed by documents);
• positive credit history.

Equipment requirements:

• the product must be mass-produced;
• the manufacturer must provide a warranty period for the product;
• if necessary, the equipment must be dismantled without damage;
• only a few banks allow the purchase of used equipment.

Supplier requirements:

• registration in the Russian Federation (some banks allow the purchase of foreign goods, but on condition that they are cleared by customs);
• state registration as a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.

Documentation

Each bank puts forward its own requirements for the borrower's documents, but it is usually necessary to provide:

• application form (filled in at a bank branch or on its official website);
• passports of the founders or individual entrepreneurs;
• constituent documents of the company;
• copies of valid certificates and contracts (with suppliers, lessor, etc.);
• financial reporting;
• documents with information about the equipment and its supplier (with justification of the cost).

How to get an equipment loan

To get a small business equipment loan, you need to:

1. Select a bank.
2. Decide on the equipment that meets the requirements of the bank.
3. Fill out an application for a loan at a bank branch or on its official website.
4. Collect the necessary package of documents (including equipment).
5. Meet with a bank employee and sign an agreement.
6. Pay the down payment.
7. Get money and buy equipment.
8. If necessary, insure the equipment, open a bank account (if it is determined by the terms of the contract).

What difficulties can be

Most of the pitfalls that a borrower may encounter are related to the assessment of equipment purchased on credit. The bank, not on its own whim, carefully checks the liquidity of the equipment and its market value. The fact is that if the entrepreneur cannot return the borrowed funds, the bank will have to sell the equipment so as not to incur losses.

The estimated value according to banking norms is on average 70% of the market value. The bank may even refuse to purchase used equipment. Especially when it comes to a large amount.

In addition, the borrower must remember that he will have to insure the equipment in favor of the bank at his own expense. The corresponding requirement is put forward by most financial institutions.
