The specifics

Refinancing替换 your current lender, consolidates multiple equipment loans into one payment, or pays off a balloon payment at end-of-term. According to Crestmont Capital's guide to plastic injection molding equipment financing, most plastic manufacturers refinance to lower their APR if rates have fallen or credit has improved, extend payment terms to free monthly cash flow, or simplify accounting by combining separate equipment loans.

Through our funding partners, equipment financing for Oregon manufacturers includes:

• Minimum 580 FICO credit score — though 650+ typically qualifies for 0% down and lower rates
• 6 months in business minimum — with $100K+ annual revenue documented by tax returns or bank deposits
• Clear equipment title — or the ability for the new lender to pay off the existing lien at closing
• Amounts from $10K-$5M — matched to equipment value and business needs
• Terms 48-84 months — matched to the equipment's remaining useful life

At 650+ FICO, rates typically fall into the 8-15% APR range. Borrowers with fair credit (620-679 FICO) see rates in the 12-20% APR band. Used equipment typically carries a 1-2% APR surcharge compared to new machinery, reflecting higher perceived risk.

Qualification & edge cases

What if I'm under 6 months in business?

Most equipment lenders require a minimum of 6 months operating history. If you're newer, explore a business line of credit (minimum 6 months, $10K-$250K) or working capital options (minimum 6 months, $10K-$500K), though rates will be higher. Once you hit 6 months, reapply for equipment refinancing.

What if my equipment still has an existing lien?

The new lender pays off the old loan at closing and secures the same machine under a new UCC-1 filing. This transition is seamless and typically adds no extra cost.

What if I have strong credit but less than 2 years in business?

SBA 7a loans require 24 months in business and a 640 minimum FICO, but offer rates of Prime + 2.75-4.75% APR with terms up to 25 years and amounts up to $5M. For Oregon manufacturers who qualify, these lower rates can significantly reduce overall financing costs compared to conventional equipment financing.

For comparison, plastic manufacturing equipment loans are secured by the equipment itself, which is why rates are lower than unsecured business lines of credit, according to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association industry overview. This is why refinancing existing machinery is often cheaper than taking on a new unsecured business loan.

Background & how it works

Equipment financing for injection molding machinery works similarly to auto financing—the equipment itself serves as collateral. This secured structure is why qualifying borrowers can access APRs in the 8-25% range, significantly lower than unsecured business loans that often carry mid-teens to 20s% APR.

When you refinance, the new lender pays off your existing loan balance and issues a new loan with updated terms. This can result in lower monthly payments, better rates, or extended terms—whichever benefit matters most for your operation. The Crest Capital injection molding machine financing page notes that many manufacturers use refinancing to free up working capital for other operational needs.
