EQUIPMENT FINANCE CORPORATION Alpharetta, Georgia: Ed Gargiulo reports, “2023 was an adjustment year for all of us in the corrugated industry. than favorable for everyone. “2023 also brought the commercial banking industry issues into focus. Tightening by the Federal Reserve in an effort to curb inflation strained the ability of many banks to continue to provide the funding that is needed by Inde- pendents. The banking industry concerns are further am- plified by the threat of future defaults in the commercial office real estate market. “These facts reinforce the need for independents to di- versify their borrowing for protection from unforeseen is- sues with their bank lender. While it may have been ‘com- fortable’ to use a local bank for all borrowing needs, it is now prudent to have alternative lenders available. “While we cannot replace your bank lender for revolv- ing line of credit and real estate financing, Equipment Fi- nance offers 7-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 15-year amortization re- payment programs for new corrugated manufacturing equipment which can significantly reduce monthly pay- ment requirements. We typically fund up to 100 percent of machinery project costs including site prep, electrical, etc. The same 100 percent financing is available for used equipment projects with terms of up to 7 years. Early pre- payment, annual additional paydown and loan term ad- justments are just some of the options we can include to provide maximum financial flexibility. Therefore, you can have low payments without locking yourself into a long- term commitment. The excellent post-covid demand coupled with exceptionally low market interest rates were ended by Bidenomics and its resulting re- duced growth, inflation, and rising interest rates. Equipment Finance Corp. continued to provide long- term, fixed-rate financing, but over- all economic conditions were less Ed Gargiulo
