What is Equipment Finance Loan Malaysia?

Equipment finance loan Malaysia helps businesses acquire machinery, vehicles, and equipment without paying full cash upfront. Whether you need construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, or commercial vehicles, equipment financing spreads the cost over time. Your business gets the equipment now, pays monthly, preserves cash flow for operations.

Types of Equipment Finance Loans

1. Term Loan

Traditional loan structure. Borrow fixed amount, repay over set period. Interest calculated on reducing balance. Suitable for businesses with stable cash flow. You own the equipment from day one.

2. Hire Purchase

Popular in Malaysia. You hire the equipment with option to buy after final payment. Monthly installments include principal + interest. Ownership transfers after final payment. Tax benefits available.

3. Leasing

Two types: Operating lease and Finance lease. Operating lease = rent equipment, return at end. Finance lease = like hire purchase but structured as lease. Good for businesses wanting off-balance-sheet treatment.
