In short

Equipment can be financed with a loan, a lease or an equipment finance agreement, and each one treats ownership differently. The kitchen, fabrication shop and plumbing contractor cases below use invented figures. The calculator on this page works out a payment from the price, down payment, rate and months you enter. Funding partners set the real terms.

Fair market value leases, explained with a Fort Morgan, CO restaurant's tilting skillet and proofer

A fair market value lease charges lower monthly payments because the lessor expects the equipment to still be worth something when the lease ends. At the end, the restaurant can return the tilting skillet and proofer, renew the lease, or buy them at whatever their fair market value is then. Ask the lessor to show in the lease how that value will be set when the term ends, so the restaurant knows the method on the first day even if not the figure.

Invented figures: the skillet and proofer are priced at $23,780. An invented fair market value lease charges $583.17 a month for 36 months, which totals $20,994.12. That invented total is below the price because the lessor keeps the leftover value, and buying at the end costs an amount nobody knows on the first day.

Census counts for 2023 show 41 restaurants and other eating places with employees in Morgan County, CO (NAICS 7225); 7 of them had fewer than five employees.

Financing a radial drill press and a cold saw at a Morgan County, CO fabrication shop, from quote to final payment

  1. The shop gets a written quote for the radial drill press and the cold saw, with the price, delivery date and any trade-in.
  2. It calls Millfield with the quote and the down payment it can make, or sends the short request and talks the quote through on the call.
  3. A funding partner reviews the shop's bank statements and credit and may ask about the machines' expected life.
  4. The offer states the payment, the term, the down payment and what secures the deal; the shop signs only if the numbers work.
  5. The partner pays the seller, the machines arrive, and the monthly payments begin.

Invented figures: the two machines cost $45,170 and the shop puts $5,935 down, so $39,235 is financed at 10.77% a year for 60 months. The invented payment is $848.57, the sixty payments add to $50,914.20, and the invented interest is $11,679.20.

With the down payment included, the invented machines cost the shop $56,849.20 in all. The calculator on this page takes the same four inputs, so a shop can try a larger down payment or a shorter term before it asks for a quote.

At ZIP 80701 addresses, 16 manufacturers had employees in 2023 by the ZIP Code Business Patterns count, and 43.8% of those plants and shops had fewer than five. County-wide, employer payroll in 2023 reached $544.2 million; the Fort Morgan, CO page prices a print shop cutter on fixed payments.

The first two payments on the invented drill press and cold saw at a Fort Morgan, CO fabrication shop

Each payment on the drill press and saw splits between interest on the balance still owed and principal that lowers it. The early payments carry the most interest, because the balance is at its largest then.

In the invented fabrication shop case, the first $848.57 payment splits into $352.13 of invented interest and $496.44 of principal, leaving an invented balance of $38,738.56. After the second invented payment, the balance is $38,237.67.

In the invented case, the second payment carries $347.68 of interest and $500.89 of principal, and each later payment shifts a little more toward principal. How the loan or a lease is recorded, and any tax question, belongs with the shop's accountant. A partner reviewing a later request may count these payments.

How a lease on a key-cutting machine and a blind-cutting machine works for a Fort Morgan, CO building supply dealer

A dealer that cuts keys and trims window blinds at the counter may lease the machines instead of buying them, because the models change and the dealer may want newer ones in a few years. A concrete crew counting a buggy's payment per pour faces a different question.

  • The lessor buys the key-cutting machine and the blind-cutting machine and owns them for the whole term.
  • The dealer pays a fixed amount each month and uses the machines as if they were its own.
  • The lease states who maintains and insures them, and what happens if one breaks.
  • At the end, the dealer returns, renews or buys them under the terms the lease set at signing.

The lease covers the machines only. Mounting a counter or running new power to it is property work, which this site does not fund.

A pipe-bursting rig for a Morgan County, CO plumbing contractor, priced over 36 months

A plumbing contractor adding trenchless sewer line work may price a pipe-bursting rig from a dealer. In an invented case, the figures run like this:

  • Invented price of the rig: $26,815
  • Invented rate and term: 12.47% a year for 36 months
  • Invented monthly payment: $896.67
  • Invented total over 36 months: $32,280.12, of which $5,465.12 is interest

A rig that brings trenchless jobs each month can be set against that payment the way a crew sets any machine's payment against its work.

Title from the first payment: an equipment finance agreement on a Fort Morgan, CO accounting office's folder-inserter

An accounting office that mails client statements and organizers in bulk may finance a folder-inserter through an equipment finance agreement. Under that agreement the office owns the folder-inserter from the first day; the partner holds a security interest until the last payment, and there is no end-of-lease decision.

The agreement names the folder-inserter by model and serial number, the payment, the number of months and the security interest the partner holds until the last payment. Because the office owns the machine from the start, service and replacement parts are its own to arrange. Fabrication shops go through the same steps for a section roll bender and a blast cabinet.
