FAQ
People often ask us

To learn more about the business equipment financing services we offer, talk to a First Citizens representative at your local branch.

For most business owners, the top two benefits are the ability to maintain cash flow and secure 100% financing. The third benefit is that financing may be structured in a variety of ways to meet your tax and accounting needs.

Yes. A term loan or capital lease allows you to depreciate the cost of the equipment. One of our Equipment Finance & Leasing officers can review our business equipment financing options in detail with you and your accountant.

Section 179 is a type of tax-advantaged financing that lets you invest in equipment and then deduct a substantial portion of the cost as an expense in the year in which you purchased it. This can help you reduce taxable income for your equipment purchase. Certain conditions apply, so you should talk with your financial professional about qualified financing before making your next purchase.

Use our Section 179 calculator to determine the potential tax savings for your financed equipment.
