The specifics

In 2026, the U.S. equipment‑leasing market surged to a record high, with most lenders offering loans between $25,000 and $800,000 and terms of 48–84 months leasefoundation.org. A 620‑679 FICO—classified as fair credit—generally yields APRs of 12–15%, while a 740+ score can secure 9–12% APR crestmontcapital.com. Lenders require a debt‑service‑coverage ratio of at least 1.25× crestmontcapital.com and a 15–20% down payment bankrate.com. New‑equipment buyers pay the stated APR; used equipment typically incurs a 1‑2% premium bankrate.com.

Qualification & edge cases

The key variables that shift your rate and approval window are credit score, DSCR, and revenue.

• Fair credit (620‑679 FICO): 12–15% APR, 30‑45 day approval, 15‑20% down payment.
• Good credit (740+ FICO): 9–12% APR, 15‑30 day approval, 10‑15% down payment.
• Sub‑prime (550‑619 FICO): Lenders may demand a 1.35× DSCR or asset collateral and extend approval to ~60 days.
• Revenue below $200k often leads lenders to recommend bridge or lease‑to‑buy solutions; this trend is documented in federal lending reports federalreserve.gov.
• Used equipment brings a modest APR bump of 1‑2%, while new purchases remain within the standard range.
• If you lack a down payment but maintain three to six months of cash reserves, some lenders may still approve with a slightly longer term, keeping the monthly payment within 8–12% of gross monthly revenue bankrate.com.

Background & how it works

Equipment loans are typically secured by the machinery itself, which lowers risk and often reduces APR by 1‑3% bankrate.com. Lenders evaluate the equipment’s market value, useful life, and expected residual value to set terms. The application process starts with a credit check and submission of financial statements, a business plan, and equipment details. After underwriting, approval may take 30‑45 days, but borrowers with strong credit and clean DSCR can receive offers within two weeks. Once approved, funds can be disbursed in a week, allowing businesses to deploy capital quickly while preserving cash flow.

Bottom line

If your New York business has a 620‑679 FICO and a 1.25× DSCR, you can secure a competitive 12–15% APR lease or loan in 30‑45 days. Use the calculator now to see your exact rate—no hard credit pull.
