Financing generators: the basics
RCR International Finance LLC arranges generators financing for businesses acquiring power equipment. Because the asset secures the deal, generators is one of the more accessible commercial structures, and it keeps working capital free for payroll, materials, and growth. Subject to underwriting and approval.
New generator financing supports full warranties and current emissions-compliant units, fitting critical backup and prime-power installations. Used generators are commonly financed and are evaluated on hours, condition, and remaining life. Both new and used purchases are subject to underwriting and approval.
A loan builds ownership of durable power assets installed for the long term, such as building standby systems. A lease can preserve capital for rental operators or projects with defined timelines. The right structure depends on use, utilization, and tax planning.
Loan vs lease: which fits this asset?
Both options finance generators, the right choice depends on how long you keep the asset and whether ownership or lower payments matters more.
Equipment Loan
Build ownership
- You own the equipment outright at the end of the term
- Builds equity in the asset as you pay it down
- Best for equipment with a long, productive useful life
- Payments are typically higher than a comparable lease
Equipment Lease
Lower payments, flexibility
- Lower monthly payments to preserve cash flow
- Flexibility to upgrade, renew, or return at term end
- Best for assets you replace or upgrade often
- End-of-term purchase options may be available
