Our Mission
At Forge Capital & Leasing, we help small and mid-sized businesses access fast, flexible, and transparent equipment financing and leasing solutions.
We believe that every hardworking business owner deserves a partner who listens, understands their needs, and finds real solutions — even when traditional lenders say no.
Who We Serve
We work with established businesses and startups across the United States seeking financing for essential equipment in industries such as:
Construction & Contracting – excavators, skid steers, trenchers, compressors
Transportation & Trucking – box trucks, semis, trailers, transit vans
Manufacturing & Fabrication – CNC machines, shop tools, production systems
Landscaping & Agriculture – tractors, mowers, and service vehicles
Healthcare & Commercial Services – medical and office equipment
Our programs support funding requests from $10,000 up to $500,000 (and in select cases up to $1 million through partner programs).
What We Offer
We are an independent commercial finance broker, meaning we work for you — not the bank.
Our role is to match your business with the right funding partner from our trusted lender network.

Fair Market Value (FMV) Leases – lower monthly payments with flexible end-of-term buyout
Equipment Finance Agreements (EFA) – straightforward ownership financing
Startup & New Business Programs – for companies under 2 years old with industry experience
App-Only Programs – up to $125,000 with minimal documentation
Full Financial Packages – for larger or complex deals with favorable terms

When other lenders say no — we often say yes.
-
We work with a wide range of business and industrial equipment including construction machinery, transport trucks and trailers, manufacturing tools, landscaping and agricultural equipment, and office or medical equipment.
If your equipment is essential to business operations, there’s a good chance we can help finance it — whether it’s new or used. -
Not at all. We partner with multiple funding sources that consider more than just your credit score.
While a FICO score of 580 or higher helps, we also review business cash flow, time in business, and collateral strength.
Even if traditional banks have said no, our flexible underwriting and multiple credit tiers often allow us to say yes — especially for established operators and startups with industry experience. -
A lease allows you to use equipment for a set term with lower monthly payments and options to purchase, renew, or return at the end — such as a $1 Buyout Lease or Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease.
A finance agreement (EFA) works more like a loan, where you gain full ownership after making all scheduled payments.
We’ll help you choose the option that best fits your cash flow, tax strategy, and long-term goals.
