Equipment financing is essential for any business. It allows small businesses and entrepreneurs to grow by expanding the amount of inventory they can purchase. This helps them become more competitive in their industries and position themselves for long-term growth.

Although equipment financing is one way to improve the bottom line, it can sometimes be complicated and confusing. This is why it’s essential to have a finance partner that understands a customer’s business and the intricacies of equipment leasing and financing. Fortis Equipment Funding is committed to providing tools and resources for the best financing options in the market.

We are different in terms of customer experience. We go out and meet customers face-to-face, and that is why our customer retention rate is 90 percent

Fortis is much more than an equipment financing firm. It is a company where communication and in-person interaction are valued. “We are different in terms of customer experience, and meet most of our customers face-to-face. That is why our customer retention rate is 90 percent,” says Earl Turner, director at Fortis Equipment Funding.

Fortis measures its success with the relationships it fosters with clients, giving the firm the quickest turnaround time in the industry—less than 24 hours, faster than most financial institutions.

Regarding banks, which are the traditional go-to platforms for raising funds, Fortis is disrupting the industry with equipment financing services that are faster, more convenient, and more transparent. Banks focus on a borrower’s financial standing and credit history and are infamous for inf lexible lending policies and high-interest rates.

Fortis, meanwhile, allows business owners to start using the equipment from day one with little to no money down.

“Unlike banks that take a 20 to 30 percent down payment, we can charge little to no money down, and customers can acquire assets and generate cashf low from the get-go,” says Erich Maerz, director at Fortis Equipment Funding. It takes immense pride in offering the best prices in the market, and it does so for a wide range of equipment. Whether a 1995 dump truck, a 2022 over-the-road truck, or a 2010 excavator, Fortis can finance anything at the best price.

Fortis employs two parameters to evaluate a client’s financial health; credit score and years in business. Fortis also has flexible terms for business owners with lower ratings.

For Fortis, its team is its biggest strength. Carrying decades of experience in the industry, its experts understand the equipment they finance, know which equipment is an income-producing asset and which is a capital expense, and how to evaluate the value of these assets and accordingly lend.

The people at Fortis also have strong relationships with vendors and keenly understand market conditions. This way, they create the best deals for customers and ensure they get the best value for their money.

In 2023, Fortis is expecting a 20 percent Y-o-Y growth. While adding more numbers to its strength, the team at Fortis will continue to stick with the values that made Fortis what it is today.
