?Quick answer

Equipment refinancing from RCR International Finance LLC restructures debt already on a business's equipment, replacing an existing loan with new terms or borrowing against machinery the company already owns free and clear. It can lower payments, consolidate multiple equipment loans, or convert idle asset value into working capital, subject to underwriting and approval.

Equipment refinancing pays off or replaces existing financing on machinery and vehicles, or places new financing against equipment a company owns outright.

It applies to equipment already in service rather than new purchases.

Cost & structure

What drives the cost, and why we don't post a rate

RCR International Finance LLC does not guarantee approval, rates, or funding amounts. Terms are determined case by case after review.

Factor 01

Refinancing applies to equipment already owned or financed, not to new purchases.

Factor 02

Available terms depend on the asset's current value, age, and remaining useful life rather than its original cost.

Factor 03

Extracting equity requires the equipment to be owned outright or to hold value beyond the existing loan balance.

Common questions about equipment refinancing

Equipment Refinancing FAQs

Can I refinance equipment I already paid off?
Yes. Equipment owned free and clear can support new financing that converts its value into working capital, with terms based on the asset's current condition and value, subject to underwriting and approval.
Will refinancing lower my equipment payments?
It can, by restructuring the term or consolidating multiple loans, but the outcome depends on the asset's current value and the new structure. Refinancing does not guarantee a lower payment in every case.
What is the difference between refinancing and a sale-leaseback?
Refinancing replaces or adds a loan against equipment you keep owning. A sale-leaseback transfers ownership of the asset and leases it back. Both unlock value but treat ownership differently.
What documents prove I own the equipment?
Typically titles, bills of sale, or a payoff statement showing a prior loan is satisfied, along with an equipment list detailing year, make, model, and condition.
