  7. Can I get the Equity out of my existing equipment?
    You sure can. We can assist you with equipment refinancing (Sale Leaseback). The "Sale Leaseback" is one of the most effective ways for you to cash in on the equity that you hold in your equipment. Most business people have equipment in their business that is unencumbered meaning it's paid for and you have equity in it. Now, how do we get our equity out? It's very simple, Carpenter & Associates, Inc. has developed a network of funding sources and vendors over the past dozen or so years that will advance cash for the equity you have in your equipment. You could be sitting on $20,000, $50,000 or even a $100,000.00 right now with equipment in your business that is loaded with equity.
