Starting a business takes a lot of work and includes a lot of planning. One of the most important things that must be planned for is equipment. Buying machinery and equipment to start a business can be expensive.
Financing Equipment
Financing equipment is one way to offset start-up costs. Get a loan from a bank or investor to finance equipment and machinery. Another option is to rent equipment. Financing equipment is a great way to buy machinery and items needed with less money up front. This allows a business to get going, make products, and sell them to pay for the equipment.
A business needs money to set up a place to work from including a building, machines, raw materials, heavy equipment at times, and people to manufacture the products or perform services.
For instance, a new clothing store that is making their own clothes needs sewing machines, surgers, thread, needles, fabric, patterns, measuring tapes, laborers, display racks, and a big building to work from.
The cost of all of the necessary items can be steep. Business financing is a great way to be able to afford start-up costs without creating a ton of high interest debt.
Financing equipment is a great way to improve credit ratings as well. A business that is just starting out does not have much credit. A great way to build upon this is by financing the equipment one needs to perform product manufacturing, transporting goods, or packaging materials.
A good finance package has a low interest rate, a
grace period, and flexible repayment schedules.
Using common sense to find the right loan for equipment purchasing is a great way to get going when a person does not have the money upfront.
Purchasing equipment for a new business can be very costly. Depending on the type of machinery and the amount of machinery, costs can rise into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Using financing can offer new companies a way to offset this price and build credit for the business at the same time.
Flexible payments and grace periods offer businesses a little leeway for times when money is still scarce. Delaying a payment comes with a late fee, but does not always require repossession of the equipment as long as the company communicates with the lender.
Asking questions about payment schedules, late fees, due dates, and early pay-offs is a great way to find out exactly what a company needs to do before going into debt. Financing a business is just like financing in personal life.
The goal is to pay on time, early if possible, communicate with lenders, and understand rights and responsibilities before taking out financing for equipment and machinery.

Personally, I’d rent equipment for the first few months. That way, you can gauge a number of things:
1. How much equipment do I need to buy?
2. Is the equipment worth buying? i.e. Does a competitor’s brand offer a better solution?
3. Is the business profitable enough to warrant the purchase of such equipment?
4. What maintenance deals can you strike with the company that you are renting from?
I guess renting is the best thing to do to earn consistently when one cant make his mind to sell and don’t wanna let it be as a crap ! ! So renting is better than Selling @Pramod

Renting an equipment is always a better choice in this context as you don’t have to pay as much as the actual price of the equipment …Other great option can be purchasing a second hand equipment …isn’t it?
