The Story
Anthony Diaz sits down to talk to us about his first equipment funding deal, how he navigated gaining funding for his client, and how unique equipment funding is versus other funding options.
He breaks down the reasoning behind securing equipment funding, how he educated himself to fight for what was best for his client, and how that deal set up the current equipment financing program.
The Details
The Client
A business owner manufacturing printed circuit boards for cell phone production in India.
They needed specialized equipment to build circuit boards, not standard equipment like trucks or trailers.
International component: The equipment was being shipped from overseas.
The Situation
The client needed equipment financing for a $280,000 machine.
Faced a time-sensitive need: required the machine faster than typical funding timelines allowed.
A long-term financing structure (60–72 months) is required, which is not typically offered by many traditional lenders.
The Solution
Capital Infusion, primarily known for merchant cash advances, facilitated an equipment finance deal.
The account manager worked directly with both the bank and the equipment vendor to:
Negotiate costs and shipping timelines.
Coordinate documentation and approval process under a financials-based underwriting model.
Overcame timing challenges and accelerated funding through persistent communication and coordination.
Educated the client on the structure and benefits of the equipment financing program.
Built a strong client relationship through a longer sales cycle and personalized service.
