Large American Coal Producer seeks out Mazuma Capital in Funding Fuel-Efficient Equipment to Enhance Production

DRAPER, UTAH April 2012–Mazuma Capital, leading national direct lender, today announced it has funded $7.5M so far against an overall $9.4M commitment for a large American coal producer.

The coal producer sought an experienced funding source with in-depth knowledge of the mining industry. There were many challenges present in the transaction from the type, use, and locations of equipment to the challenges present with an evolving global coal market.  There were also several factors that presented additional hurdles with the credit due to recent growth and acquisitions.  Because of these challenges the financing required innovative structuring components along with solving the coal producer’s funding objectives.

The company was concerned that the cash flow of the leases needed to allow for growth initiatives and to provide the ability to expense payments over time as new environmental campaigns were launched. Moreover, Mazuma Capital was able to secure the approvals and work with the company to achieve these funding objectives.

“This coal producer has a very large footprint in the mining industry and they continue to draw upon Mazuma Capital’s unique market positions and access to funds to propel their business forward. Through our exclusive access to capital, and aggressive structures we’ve been able to provide significant value year after year for this company”, said Kelly Holladay, Account Executive at Mazuma Capital.

Understanding Equipment Lease and Finance

Anyone who runs a business should understand how equipment financing can be as beneficial as it is. Here are a few things to see when getting equipment financing to work. These should be reviewed because they show just how effective financing can be for any type of business that needs to get its items sooner without having to pay for everything right up front.
The first part about equipment financing is that it works to ensure that a line of credit is available for a business. This is where a business can easily pay off a certain piece of equipment over a period of time. This can be done while the new equipment is used to create more profits for a business to work with.
Also, the money that is used will be covered in full in a plan. This means that all costs for building and delivering the equipment to a place will be covered. This can work to make it so anyone can get a good profit off of something that it needs for its operations.
Also, the payments in equipment financing will stay the same over time. This may be used to keep a business from suffering from the dangers of inflation. Inflation can make some equipment items higher over time. Using equipment financing will help to protect the business from losing money as the value of something goes up. This is all thanks to how the equipment will be of the same price.
Also, many of the equipment financing payments that a business makes can be tax deductible. This may be used to ensure that the business can save on tax payments. A big point of this involves how these payments might involve interest in some cases.
Of course, the best benefit of this plan involves how it will get a business to receive what it needs sooner. A business will get something quickly without having to wait too long to get it to work. It will be able to get something out to a business as quickly as possible, thus making it easier for the business to get profits off of the equipment that it needs. This may be beneficial for the bottom line of the business and even the customers who want to get this out of it. This is all thanks to equipment financing.
These are all good reasons why equipment financing is such a good thing to get into. This type of financing can be used to get any business to receive the money that it needs for different kinds of items that it needs in order for it to be more profitable and successful. Capital lease financing provides many flexible options that can meet business and financial goals.  Be sure to watch for this when getting any type of business to become more successful and able to operate properly.
