How to Maximise Your Photography Equipment Financing

To select the right equipment to finance while balancing quality and cost, there are a number of steps you should take.

Assess your needs
  • What type of photography/videography do you do?
  • What equipment will enhance your work?
  • What gear is essential to enhancing your work?
Research and compare
  • Compare features, reviews, prices.
  • Ensure you're getting the best value for money.
Quality over quantity
  • Invest in high-quality equipment that will last longer.
Adaptability
  • Choose equipment that can be used in various scenarios.
Advanced Technology
  • Opt for the latest models with advanced features.
  • Avoid overly expensive or brand-new releases unless they have significant improvements over previous models.
Buy refurbished gear
  • Consider purchasing second hand equipment from reputable sellers to save money.

Managing your loan repayment

To manage your loan repayment effectively, our highly trained brokers recommend two key steps. Firstly, start by creating a detailed budget that includes all your expenses and income so you can determine how much you can comfortably afford to pay on your loan each month. And secondly, choose a loan term that balances your manageable monthly payment with the overall loan cost. Other tips we recommend once you secure your loan include:

  • Set up automatic payments to avoid missing payment and incurring late fees.
  • If possible through your lender, make extra payments towards your loan principal.
  • Track your expenses closely to stay within your budget and adjust as needed.

Maintaining the value of your equipment

To maintain your equipment’s value, ensure you store it properly in a dry, cool environment using protective cases; regularly clean your equipment with the appropriate tools to keep it in good working conditions; use protective gear like lens filters and camera covers to prevent damage; and handle it with care by not exposing it to extreme conditions.

On purchasing your new gear, maintain detailed records of your equipment including purchase receipts, warranty information, and maintenance logs for insurance and resale purposes.

Camera Equipment Loan FAQs

  • Applying for a camera equipment loan is simple. The application process through Jade involves filling out an application form with your dedicated broker, providing financial documents such as tax returns and bank statements, and detailing the equipment you are wanting to purchase. After this, your broker will assess the pool of lenders available to you to find the best one who will then assess your creditworthiness, business revenue, and overall financial health before approving the loan. Once you have been approved for the loan, the funds will be disbursed to you.

  • To be eligible for a camera equipment loan you may need to meet:

    • Minimum credit score requirements.
    • Proof of consistent income.
    • If for business purposes, proof of consistent revenue and time in business.
    • Lenders may also require businesses to provide financial statements.
    • To determine the exact requirements for eligibility based on your specific circumstances, talk to one of our expert brokers.
  • Jade offers financing for a wide range of camera equipment including professional cameras, lenses, lighting gear, tripods, and other photography accessories. Other camera equipment may also be available for finance depending on your specific circumstances and the available loan option. Speak with one of our experienced brokers to find out more.

  • Interest rates for camera equipment loans vary. Factors such as credit score, loan amount, and term length will influence the final interest rate offered to you by the lender.

  • Yes, we generally allow for the financing of used camera equipment as long as it meets certain conditions and is from a reputable vendor. The terms and conditions for financing used equipment may differ from those for new equipment. Overall, securing financing for refurbished equipment is dependent on the lender’s policies and the condition of the equipment.

  • The loan term you will be able to secure depends on the lender and the loan amount. Shorter terms will generally have higher monthly payments but less interest, while longer terms will have lower monthly payments but more interest.

  • Financing camera equipment can have a positive impact on your business’ cash flow because it allows the large cost of the gear to be spread out over a number of months or years. By spreading out this payment, a borrower is able to preserve their working capital for other expenses such as investments or emergencies.

  • If you miss a payment on your loan, you may be subjected to late fees, increased interest rates, and potential damage to your credit score. If you continually miss payments, you could default on your loan which could lead to legal action or repossession of the financed equipment. If you are having financial troubles, it is important to contact your lender as soon as possible.
