As we slide into 2025, small to mid-sized businesses across the country continue to face unique challenges when it comes to securing financing for essential equipment. The economic landscape will (and has already) shifted with a new administration that’s expected to change regulations and laws, so adapting to opportunities and obstacles is crucial.
Traditional lenders may still struggle to understand your specific needs and operations, especially if you have less-than-perfect credit. That’s where Global Financial & Leasing Services (GFLS) comes in and fills an equipment financing void. We specialize in providing full-service, direct lender solutions tailored to businesses like yours.
By using our own capital and offering fast, flexible equipment financing, we empower businesses to thrive in this evolving economic landscape, and very competitive markets. For example, one of our clients shared, “Thank you so much for all of your help and incredible speed. This new piece of equipment will be a game changer for my business. No one within 250 miles of me has one. I will crush my competition!”
A little competition is good for everyone, from business owners and labor to consumers, right? Competition encourages businesses to innovate, improve efficiency and offer better products or services. It can also lead to lower prices and more consumer choices for, while encouraging workers to learn new skills. But everything has a flip side, and we’d be remiss to ignore that excessive or unfair competition can lead to negative effects, such as market instability, so balance is key.
What Challenges Small to Mid-Sized Businesses Face in Today’s
Equipment Financing Climate
For many small to mid-sized businesses, acquiring the equipment necessary to maintain operations or scale growth remains a significant hurdle. Limited cash reserves often make it difficult or impossible to purchase essential business equipment outright, and less-than-perfect credit can disqualify applicants from traditional financing.
The changing economic environment, including rising interest rates and shifting market demands, has added another layer of complexity for those making financing decisions and those applying for financing.
Last but not least, industries such as construction, transportation, and healthcare continue to require specialized, high-cost equipment that traditional lenders may shy away from funding due to cost or risk.
These challenges can leave you feeling you haven’t many good options, but GFLS offers equipment financing solutions that overcome common challenges. How? By looking at each applicant as an individual — not a credit score — and tailoring deals to suit their unique needs.
How a Story Lender, like GFLS, is Positioned to Address These Challenges in 2025
GFLS was founded from the start (during the Great Recession in 2009, to be exact) to support small to mid-sized businesses with our tailored financing solutions. As a nationwide, direct lender, we supply fast, flexible equipment financing to non-investment grade companies and businesses struggling with traditional lending institutions.
Instead of requiring large upfront payments, we offer up to 100% equipment-based financing that spreads costs over manageable installments. This approach is often the best solution for business owners looking to preserve cash flow while obtaining the equipment they need to startup or expand.
Our approval process is another benefit. Unlike traditional lenders that heavily weigh credit scores, we evaluate your ability to service your current and proposed debt, ensuring that even businesses with fluctuating income can meet their financial obligations. For instance, a trucking company looking to upgrade its fleet can rely on us to provide a financing plan tailored to its monthly revenue, allowing it to scale operations without overextending its budget.
Additionally, our application process is fast and straightforward. Each application is handled by a direct decision-maker, ensuring quick approvals with minimal paperwork. This is particularly advantageous for businesses facing tight deadlines. For example, a small manufacturing business could secure equipment financing in just a few days, putting it in a better position to reach its 2025 goals right off the bat in first quarter.
