We had a company quote us 7%, but our math came out to 12%, they disagreed no matter what we said. Aren’t they required to disclose the real rates?
IIRC Ritalia was around 12% or so, so expensive money. I wish our credit union could be bothered to consider it, but they have a fresh stack of blank stares from all staff. I heard banks in the Midwest were more used to equipment financing. Don’t want to buy new at 2-3X the price because they have a good deal on financing.
