Are high minimum investments and illiquid loan portfolios trapping your equipment finance capital?

Traditional equipment financing locks lenders into fixed‐term loans that tie up capital for years. Massive administrative workloads—manual paperwork, protracted due diligence, and limited secondary markets—stifle growth and prevent you from redeploying funds into new originations or servicing other clients.
Now, imagine the opposite: List your equipment finance loans as offerings on Liquidity, set clear terms, and let verified investors pledge interest before you raise. Each issuance request is reviewed and approved before listing, and holders can later trade on an order book. That’s Liquidity for equipment finance issuers: submit, get approved, and raise capital with confidence—keeping control of your loan portfolio until you choose to rotate or exit.

Get Approved & List Your Raise

  • Once approved, your offering is listed under Reg D 506(b), Reg D 506(c), or Reg CF. Tokenized assets display on-chain details such as the token standard and total supply.
  • Set offering terms: desired raise, minimum to proceed, minimum investment, price per share, and close date—plus coupon (fixed or variable) and distribution frequency.
  • Choose your listing terms—minimum lot size, lock‐up periods, and any call or put provisions.

Monitor Investor Engagement

  • Once approved, your raise is listed on Liquidity and investors can pledge interest in it.
  • Track pledges against your minimum to proceed and close date, and share files through the asset’s Data Room.
  • If pledges reach the minimum by the close date, investors are invited to subscribe; otherwise pledges lapse.

Accelerate Capital Return & Reinvest

  • When your raise closes, capital from subscribing investors can be put to work—no need to wait on a 5–7 year amortization schedule to recycle it.
  • Redeploy raised capital into new originations, equipment purchases, or debt refinancing.
  • Plan follow-on raises for new loan pools, and use EquityTable, our free cap table tool, to keep ownership records organized.

Solutions We Are Offering

Our platform delivers four core capabilities tailored to equipment finance originators and lenders—each designed to break the constraints of traditional debt cycles and unlock growth.

  • Investor Verification Built In: Investors complete KYC and AML checks, plus accreditation for Reg D offerings, before they can subscribe to your raise.
  • Customizable Offering Terms: Set offering terms—desired raise, minimum to proceed, minimum investment, price per share—and choose Reg D 506(b), 506(c), or Reg CF for your raise.
  • Transparent Pricing: Pricing is discussed up front during your issuance review, and a platform fee may apply when investors subscribe—so your costs are clear before you list, and our incentives stay aligned with your outcomes.
  • Transparent Order Book: Holders can post bids and asks on an order book showing the reference price, spread, and last round.
  • Direct Settlement: Secondary trades settle by direct transfer between buyer and seller at closing, using firm or indicative orders.
  • Price Discovery & Liquidity Metrics: Real‐time analytics show bid/ask spreads, depth charts, and historical price data, giving you transparency into market demand and token performance.
  • Data Room for Every Asset: Share origination files, research, and updates in each asset’s Data Room, with edit history so investors can see what changed and when.
  • Investor Engagement Insights: See pledge activity on your raise against the minimum to proceed, so you know where demand stands before the close date.
  • Data‐Driven Decisions: Use pledge feedback to refine terms on future offerings—adjusting minimum investment, raise size, or price per share based on demand.
  • Seamless Workflow Alignment: Submit an issuance request online with your loan documentation; no need to overhaul your core lending platform.
  • Clear Review Path: Every issuance request is reviewed and approved before listing. Our team guides you through documentation, offering terms, and the regime—Reg D 506(b), 506(c), or Reg CF—so you can focus on underwriting more business.

How the Old Model Bleeds Time and Cash

  • Capital Lock-Up: Loans sit on your balance sheet for 5–7 years, restricting your ability to reinvest in new originations or high-growth sectors.
  • Missed Opportunities: In rising-rate markets, idle capital trapped in long-term loans reduces your ability to respond—and profit—from changing conditions.
  • Reinvestment Delays: Staggered repayment schedules prevent fast redeployment of capital, limiting how much you can originate.
  • Competitive Disadvantage: Agile fintech lenders move faster—syndicating quickly and seizing market share while you wait for repayments.
  • Manual Processing: Drafting contracts, filing liens, and managing documentation consumes excessive time and staff resources.
  • Risk of Human Error: Misplaced or incomplete paperwork can lead to compliance issues, audit delays, and potential fines.
  • Constrained Liquidity: You're often limited to a small pool of regional banks or private debt funds, accepting discounts off par.
  • Inefficient Syndication: Raising capital requires manual outreach and long negotiations—slowing scale and weakening pricing power.

The Liquidity Fix — One Platform, Endless Possibilities

Cost & Friction
Old Way
Liquidity Way
Up‐Front Costs & Delays
  • High Legal & Admin Costs: Significant spend per loan on documents, verifications, filings, and compliance—before any capital is recovered.
  • Brokerage Discounts to Par: Selling to regional funds often means a discount to par, cutting into your returns.
  • Simple Issuance: Submit an equipment finance issuance request online, reviewed before listing.
  • Fees Clear Before You List: A platform fee may apply at subscription; terms are shared before your raise goes live.
  • Built-In Compliance: Investor KYC/AML and accreditation checks are built into every raise.
Liquidity & Capital Return
  • 5–7 Year Lock-Up: Capital stays tied up until full loan maturity—no early exit options.
  • Slow Asset Offloading: Selling loan participations can take months due to complex negotiations and regulatory hurdles.
  • Earlier Capital Access: Raise capital from investors instead of waiting for loans to fully amortize.
  • Order-Book Secondaries: Holders can trade on our order book, with settlement by direct transfer between buyer and seller.
Investor Reach & Demand
  • Limited Buyer Access: Sales restricted to banks and private credit funds—reducing competition and price efficiency.
  • Outdated Syndication Methods: Raising capital through calls and roadshows is slow, manual, and unpredictable.
  • Demand Signals: Investors pledge interest first so you can gauge demand before raising—pledges are non-binding, and nothing is collected until investors subscribe.
  • Verified Investor Base: Investors complete KYC and AML checks, plus accreditation for Reg D offerings, before they can subscribe.
Transparency & Tracking
  • Spreadsheet Chaos: Loan data is scattered across Excel files—making it hard to track balances, collateral, payments, and distributions.
  • High Audit Risk: Disjointed records cause delays and expose you to compliance issues and penalties.
  • Real-Time Transparency: Share loan updates, collateral files, and research in the asset’s Data Room, with a full edit history.
  • Clear Ownership Records: Tokenized assets show on-chain details; official records are kept by the transfer agent or custodian.
