Financing imaging equipment: the basics
RCR International Finance LLC arranges imaging equipment financing for businesses acquiring healthcare equipment. Because the asset secures the deal, imaging equipment 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 imaging equipment financing supports current diagnostic capability and full manufacturer service, important for accuracy and uptime. Certified refurbished imaging systems are commonly financed at lower cost when they meet manufacturer standards. Both new and refurbished purchases are subject to underwriting and approval.
A loan suits durable imaging systems a facility intends to keep for many years. A lease can ease access to advancing technology and spread the high cost of imaging platforms with predictable budgeting. The right choice depends on useful life, utilization, and tax planning.
Loan vs lease: which fits this asset?
Both options finance imaging equipment, 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
Soft costs you can often include
Financing frequently covers more than the sticker price, so the asset is working from day one.
