By: J.M Luna

Finance and lease programs are still on hand for new and used exercise, gym and fitness machinery and equipment, however leasing and financing volume for the first part of 2010, was mostly flat for most United States Industries.

Even though we are going through rough credit times, fitness, gym, and exercise, machinery and equipment financing and leasing is still on hand for the good credit applicant and also for the not so good applicant. We are going to talk about the on hand finance and lease programs in general to give you an plan that funds is still on hand for start up and seasoned businesses.

First we are going to start with the candidate with fantastic credit. That would be an candidate with 680 or higher credit and time in business that exceeds three years. The candidate should not have any prior bankruptcies and should have low debt ratios. This candidate can qualify up to $25,000 application only programs. Furthermore, this gives the good credit applicant a good opportunity to get a great lending rate. If the applicant desires more than $25,000, they will have to give more documentation to qualify. This would include two years prior years business and personal income tax returns and the summary page of your last three months business bank statements.( high average bank balances are looked at favorable) A personal financial statement might be required as well as interim financial statements. A copy of the purchase order detailing the purchase would be necessary. as well

Buyers with personal credit scores between 650 and higher still have a decent chance to get their desired acquisition. They should have a minimum of three years in business without prior bankruptcies. Low debt to income ratios are also looked at favorable. In addition, some banks still might offer application only programs and anything beyond the minimum application only levels would need the same documentation as above.

With the second tier credit indicated above, the rates will be slightly higher than “A” Credit with enormous fitness, exercise and gym equipment, hardware and machinery financing and leasing opportunities available.

Applicants with Credit scores between 600-650, there are many exercise, gym, and fitness machinery and equipment financial programs available without faultless credit. Even though there may be some dings on the applicant’s credit, there are still computer and office machinery, equipment financing and leasing deals out in the financing market. There won’t be application only programs but abundance ofinstitutionswill look at you. Once again, strong healthy bank balances with time in business with profitable operations showing on your tax return is a big plus… Usually, full documentation information is necessary. The front money in these banking programs can run anywhere from 10-20% where as the first two programs can run as low as the first two payments..

There are other lenders that are not credit driven, but are story book driven. They work with start ups and seasoned businesses without perfect credit. They are more cash driven, and require some additional requirements to qualify. These financial institutions rates are higher than the programs described above but gives the candidate options that might nor be open in a different place..

There are other lenders that are not credit driven at all but look at the free and clear assets that are accessible to the lender. Most institutions like machinery, bulldozers, trucks, excavators, etc that have retained a good value. These are cash poor customers but have good qualified assets that the lender will qualify. These institutions have their own formula to work out a lending base. One should call to uncover out the particular details (Copies of free and Clear Titles are required).These finance and lease programs can finance up to $5,000,000 or more based upon authorized assets.

In this recession, many institutions have had to focus on their repossessed gym, fitness, and exercise machinery and equipment inventories instead of usual business due to cash flow demands, out of balance credit lines with their own financial institutions, and challenging with other lenders for the small supply of buyers in the market place.

In the past better times, there were many application only programs up to $250,000 and $150,000. This meant there were no financial statements, tax returns or bank statements required. Today, there are less application only lending programs on hand, or the available programs require more information and their rate factors are higher than before. Due to problems in the industry, many lenders have gone back to more conventional lending requirements. .

These lending changes have a incredible impact on normal business for marginal credit buyers, start up businesses and more established businesses. One interesting area that has arisen out of this economic downturn is dealer/special financing. With all the repossessions in the market place today, buyers still have a different business opportunity to acquire gym, fitness and exercise equipment repossessions with a credit score as low as 550. Fitness, gym and exercise repossessions can be acquired with very little or no money down, sixty months to repay, regardless of age, and more favorable financing terms than conventional lending

Since new business capital is tough to obtain, it is suggested that the start up and seasoned business examine the repo markets. This could be a pleasing in the combination of both price and financing.Keep in mind, there are finance and lease programs that go into the millions for larger applicants, obvious they will require full documentation packages.

If conventional isn't accessible to you for whatever reason, please check out the repossession fitness, gym and exercise machinery and equipment market and see what deals you may be eligible for.

Happy hunting for your fitness, gym and exercise equipment and machinery acquisition and its related financing.
