Equipment financing
Equipment financing is a secured loan or lease structure where the asset you're buying serves as its own collateral. You borrow the purchase price, take delivery of the equipment, and repay the lender over an agreed term, typically 24 to 84 months. Because the lender holds a lien on the asset, approval thresholds are often lower than unsecured credit lines, and speed-to-funding is faster: most Topeka applicants see funds within two weeks. Timberline Commercial Capital is a licensed commercial business-loan broker, not a direct lender, so we shop your file across multiple equipment financing companies to find terms that fit your cash flow and timeline.
Equipment financing
Lenders look for businesses operating at least one year, though startups with strong personal credit may qualify. You'll need to show revenue sufficient to cover the monthly payment, a credit score typically above 600, and a clear use case for the equipment. Common qualifying applicants in Topeka include HVAC contractors replacing truck fleets along SW Topeka Boulevard, dental practices in the Westridge area upgrading digital X-ray systems, and printing shops near the Topeka Industrial Park adding bindery lines. Because the equipment secures the loan, approval speed is high and down payments range from zero to twenty percent.
Who we serve
Businesses in Topeka, Silver Lake, Berryton, and Tecumseh use equipment financing for construction machinery, delivery vans, CNC mills, restaurant ovens, medical imaging devices, and IT server racks. A landscape company in Wakarusa might finance a skid-steer and trailer package to handle spring commercial contracts. A machine shop in Grantville could fund a lathe upgrade to win a new Goodyear Tire contract. The flexibility extends to both new and used equipment, and many lenders allow soft costs like installation and training.
How it works
Call (785) 429-5052 or visit our office at 3320 SW Harrison St, Topeka, KS 66611 to start. We'll gather a brief application, recent bank statements, a vendor quote, and your business tax return. Within one business day, we present options from our network of equipment loan companies. Once you choose a structure, the lender orders a lien search, and funds wire upon delivery confirmation. The entire cycle, from first call to equipment delivery, averages ten to fourteen days for straightforward requests.
A metal fabricator near the Kansas Expocentre needed a press brake to fulfill a state contract but lacked the cash reserve. Timberline Commercial Capital brokered an equipment loan that covered the machine and freight. The shop took delivery within twelve days, met the contract deadline, and now repays the loan from project revenue. No rate or fee data can be disclosed, but the speed-to-funding preserved the opportunity.
