Yes, you can get equipment financing with bad credit. Because the equipment itself acts as collateral, lenders take on less risk, so approvals are common for credit scores as low as 500. Rates and terms depend on your credit, revenue, and time in business.

Why Bad Credit Isn't a Dealbreaker

Equipment financing works differently than a traditional unsecured loan.

The Equipment Is the Collateral

Because the equipment secures the financing, lenders take on less risk, so a low credit score is far less of a barrier than with an unsecured loan.
