Why small businesses are going to need you more than ever
With the possibility of tariffs increasing the cost of key imports in the short term, many industries—including manufacturing, construction, and technology—are likely to face higher equipment prices and disrupted supply chains.
The financial impact so far:
- Steel, machinery, and technology equipment costs have already risen due to tariff-related import taxes.
- Many businesses are stockpiling inventory or securing equipment early to hedge against future price hikes.
- Cash flow pressures are rising, creating a growing need for alternative financing options.
Why this is a major opportunity for brokers:
- With cash flows squeezed, businesses may seek new alternatives to finance smaller items they may have once used cash to buy.
- Additionally, there may be an urgency to act on today’s equipment deals on new and used equipment, in order to maximize savings before potential tariff impacts take hold.
- Brokers can help with fast, simple financing for new and used equipment across a broader range of asset values.
TimePayment can help. As bank lending slows, businesses need fast approvals, adaptable terms, and an industry-focused lending partner.
