Yes, it’s possible. Many equipment financing companies will work with startups, especially if it’s a franchised business with a strong brand. They will rely more heavily on your personal credit and the value of the equipment. You may need to sign a personal guarantee and, in some cases, provide a down payment if you’re brand new. Working with a lender that has experience financing new franchise locations (for example, through Liberty Franchise Lending’s network) can improve your chances.
