Is Equipment Financing Debt? A Lee County, MS Chiropractic Table Purchase

An equipment loan is debt: the business owes the balance and the equipment secures it. A lease is a contract to use the equipment, and how it shows in the books depends on the lease terms and accounting rules, so ask your accountant. Either way, a later funding partner sees the payment on the bank statements. A chiropractor financing two treatment tables owes the balance just as a borrower would. See equipment financing.

Is Equipment Financing a Loan? A Tupelo, MS Fryer Purchase Explained

Either form counts as equipment financing: a loan or a lease. With a loan, the restaurant owns the fryer from day one and pledges it until the last payment. With a lease, the lessor owns it and the restaurant pays to use it, with an option at the end. Both are equipment financing; read which one an offer is before signing.

Is Merchant Cash Advance Good? What Lee County, MS Dental Offices Weigh

It suits some situations and costs a lot in others. A dental office with steady card receipts and a short, clear need may find an advance workable; a practice paid mainly by insurers may find that the advance captures only part of its income while still collecting from every card sale. Compare its total cost with working capital or a line. See merchant cash advances.

Is Merchant Cash Advance a Loan? A Tupelo, MS Look at Lab Bills

No. What a provider does in a merchant cash advance is buy a share of future receipts. The provider pays a lump sum now, a practice might use it for lab bills, and the provider collects an agreed share of receipts until the purchased amount is remitted. Its cost is the difference between the receipts sold and the cash received.

What Is a Term Loan, and How Is It Paid Down? Answers for Tupelo, MS Repair Shops

A term loan is a single sum paid back in fixed installments over a set period, with interest on the balance. A repair shop might use one for a bay expansion or to buy another shop. Each payment covers that month's interest and part of the principal, so the balance falls steadily to zero. See business term loans.
