What does NFS Capital offer?

NFS Capital offers equipment financing through fixed term leases and asset backed loans, from $150,000 up to $20 million or more. It is secured by the equipment and other assets, and the company underwrites the story behind the numbers, which is how it funds companies that fail a bank's ratio tests. It rebranded from NFS Leasing in May 2025 to reflect a broader financing and syndication scope. Its website is nfscapital.com, and it publishes more than $2 billion financed to date, as a company figure.

Who does NFS Capital fund, and who do they decline?

NFS funds non investment grade small and middle market businesses in the US and Canada, in construction, healthcare, industrial automation and robotics, IT, life sciences and manufacturing. The typical customer has a real need for equipment and a credible plan, but a recent loss, a turnaround, high leverage or a short history that a bank will not look past.

It does not publish decline criteria. The $150,000 floor is the practical filter; a smaller equipment purchase belongs with a bank program or an online lender. A venture backed startup with no revenue history should compare Camber Road.

What does it typically cost and how fast is it?

NFS does not publish rates or fees; pricing is quoted per file and will be higher than a bank's because it takes on the credit a bank declines. What it does publish is speed: credit decisions in 24 to 48 hours, which is fast for secured deals of this size. Our equipment financing page gives typical ranges by lender type, and our lease versus buy comparison helps you weigh the structure.

What will you need to apply?

Bring the equipment quote or invoice and vendor details, two years of financial statements and interim statements, a debt schedule, bank statements, a short explanation of the story behind any weak numbers, and corporate documents. Our document checklist covers the standard items; the narrative is the extra piece for a story lender.

How does NFS Capital compare with similar lenders?

Camber Road leases equipment to venture backed growth companies from its own balance sheet, with sizes set deal by deal, so it serves the startup end of the same no bank problem. Ameris Bank Equipment Finance is the bank route, cheaper for a strong borrower but stricter on credit. NFS sits between them: larger deals, faster decisions, and a willingness to underwrite a difficult story.
