C.Equipment - Equipment can be used to secure longer-term financing,usually on a 3- to 10-year basis.When new equipment is being purchased or presently owned equipment is used as collateral,usually 50 to 80 percent of the value of the equipment can be financed depending on its salability.In the sale-leaseback arrangement,the entrepreneur "sells" the equipment to a lender and then leases it back for the life of the equipment to ensure its continued use.
D.Real estate - This mortgage financing is usually easily obtained to finance a company's land,plant,or another building,often up to 75 percent of its value.
