Equipment financing spreads it over a term that fits how long the devices last. Tables, chairs, cubbies and rest mats are furniture and stay outside this site.

Security camera kits on daycare center financing: what a Johns Creek, GA provider gathers
A plug-in security camera kit, with cameras, a recorder and a parent-viewing app, is equipment and can be financed on its own or together with classroom items. An alarm system wired into the walls or tied to a monitoring service is building work under this site's rules and is not part of what it funds.
Before setting terms, a funding partner may ask a provider for:
- Recent business bank statements
- Enrollment and tuition records for the last few months
- The vendor's quote, listing each camera and the recorder
- Any loans or leases the program already pays each month
- Identification for the business and its owners
Spread over 24 months at an annual rate of 12.75%, an invented $5,400 camera kit costs $256.09 a month; across the two years the provider pays $6,146.16.
Daycare center financing for a new class group: term loan or credit line in Fulton County, GA
Starting a new class group inside space the program already leases means a teacher or two, tablets and supplies before the first tuition from that class comes in. Moving walls or adding a room to the building is property work outside this site, so the costs here are people and things:
- A term loan: one amount, fixed payments and a set end date, for the tablets and the first wages together
- A line of credit: draw what the gap needs, pay it down as tuition arrives, draw again if the next class needs it
- Working capital: a single sum for a single gap, repaid on a fixed schedule
Invented figures: two new teachers cost $5,900 per biweekly payroll, and the first tuition from the new class lands 40 days after they start. Either 2 or 3 paydays come first, so the program carries $11,800 to $17,700 of wages before that tuition arrives.
A dishwasher, a laundry pair and a passenger van on daycare center financing in Johns Creek, GA
A program that serves meals runs a commercial dishwasher every day, and one that washes bibs, sheets and towels on site needs a washer and dryer built for that load. Replacing them together is a planned purchase. With invented figures, $8,700 for a dishwasher and a laundry pair over 36 months at 11.75% works out to $287.93 per month. Connecting the two machines to water, drains and power is property work, which this site leaves out.
A passenger van for field trips and pickups is a work vehicle for the program and can go on equipment financing as well. With made-up figures, a $52,000 van at 9.95% across 60 months is a $1,103.57 payment; the 60 payments reach $66,214.20, of which $14,214.20 is interest.
A partner may ask to see the van's title, the dealer's price and the insurance before it funds.
Daycare center financing through a credit line in Fulton County, GA: teacher payroll and supply orders
Supply orders for diapers, wipes, art materials and food come around every few weeks, and tuition may arrive on a different schedule, with some families paying weekly and others monthly. A credit line can carry those orders and be paid down as tuition comes in.
Invented: drawing $9,000 for 21 days at 13.25% a year, counted as simple daily interest on the drawn amount, costs $68.61. How a real line charges interest is written in the partner's agreement.
Payroll alone, with no supply orders behind it, is a working capital question. Child care programs can also compare this trade with the others on the industries page. Planning a second site? A second child care center in Johns Creek, GA works through the deposit, a van and teacher payroll.
