Warehouse and material handling financing questions
Answers for operators planning an equipment or facility project
Can warehouse racking and mezzanines be financed?
Eligible racking, shelving, mezzanines, and related installation may be considered when the equipment, engineering, vendor scope, and project costs are clearly documented. A lender may distinguish removable equipment from permanent leasehold or building improvements.
Can used forklifts and material handling equipment be financed?
Eligible used or demonstration equipment may be considered. A lender may review the equipment vendor, age, condition, hours, useful life, warranty, maintenance history, and valuation.
Can installation, freight, software, and training be included?
Eligible soft costs may be included when they are documented as part of the equipment project. What can be included and in what amount varies by lender and transaction.
Can several equipment categories or vendors be combined?
A mixed equipment package may be considered when the equipment list, vendors, project costs, delivery schedule, installation scope, and intended business use are clearly documented.
How much can a warehousing or distribution business lease?
Lease2Grow considers equipment financing requests from as little as $5,000 with no preset maximum. The approved amount depends on the applicant, equipment package, facility project, documentation, and lender.
