Equipment Financing FAQ
Answers to common questions about financing ETC and High End Systems audio-visual equipment through Quail Financial Solutions.
What is equipment financing, and how does it work?
Equipment financing lets you acquire ETC and High End Systems gear now and pay for it over time, instead of paying the full cost upfront. Quail structures the financing, pays the supplier directly, and you make scheduled payments over an agreed term — similar to a loan or lease, depending on how the contract is structured.
Who is eligible to finance equipment through Quail?
Over 80% of U.S. businesses finance some or all of their equipment purchases, so there's no downside to applying regardless of company size. Quail regularly works with production companies, rental houses, houses of worship, schools and universities, stadiums, performing arts centers, museums, bars and restaurants, and everything from Fortune 100s to small businesses.
What can be included in the financing besides the equipment itself?
Soft costs up to 25%+ of the project can typically be financed alongside the equipment — including design fees, installation, freight, training, cabling and taxes. That means you can finance a complete, ready-to-use project rather than just the hardware.
How much can I finance, and what documentation is required?
Quail can approve $500,000+ with a single application and bank statements — no lengthy financial package required for most deals. Larger or more complex projects may call for additional documentation, which your Quail contact will walk you through.
What payment terms are available?
Payments can be customized from 12–84 months based on your project or budget cycle, with deferred payment options available for up to 180 days. Quail can also structure the arrangement as Financing, Leasing, Rental, or AVaaS (Audio-Visual-as-a-Service), depending on what fits your business best.
When does the contract commence?
The contract typically commences after the Client signs the Delivery & Acceptance form and payment is issued to the Supplier.
Prefunding: Prefunding is when a deposit or payment in full is required prior to equipment deliveries. The contract is typically started when the prefunding is issued.
Interim Rent: Most lenders have set days to collect monthly payments, such as the 5th, 15th and the 25th. If the Delivery & Acceptance falls on the 9th, for example, and our lender disburses supplier payment on that day, the client will be charged interim rent from the 9th through the 15th, which is the next billing day.
What happens at the end of the financing term?
It depends on how your contract is structured. Financing and lease-to-own arrangements typically end with you owning the equipment outright. Lease, rental or AVaaS structures may include end-of-term options such as purchasing the equipment, returning it, or upgrading to newer gear — your Quail contact can walk through which structure fits your plans before you sign.
Will applying affect my credit?
When needed, Quail can use a "soft pull" on personal credit as part of the application — a type of inquiry that doesn't impact your credit score the way a hard inquiry would. It's only used to support the application, not as a standalone credit check.
