You have the contract. The bank has been reviewing for 3 weeks. We don't work that way.

Every day without the right machine costs CHF 1,500 to CHF 4,000 in lost margin. Classic bank loans take 4–8 weeks. By then the contract is gone — or you rent at three times the rate. We solve exactly this problem.

"Sent the request Friday, the CAT 320 was on our site near Aarau by Tuesday. The bank would have taken 5 weeks. With TerraMachinery: 4 days. That call saved the tunnel contract."

Financing FAQ

Who can apply for financing?+

Swiss SMEs, sole proprietorships, GmbH and AG companies registered in Switzerland or Liechtenstein. Start-ups from year one are eligible with additional collateral.

What terms and rates are typical?+

Lease terms from 24 to 84 months. Down payment 0–30%, residual 0–30%. Indicative rates 3.9%–6.9% p.a. depending on credit profile, asset and tenure.

How fast can I get the machine on site?+

With complete documents: credit decision in 24 hours, payout in 2–5 business days, nationwide delivery 3–10 days from clearance.

Which documents are required?+

Commercial registry extract, two years of financial statements, current VAT statement, ID of the signatory, and the asset documentation (listing or quote). That's it.

Lease or buy — which is better?+

Leasing protects cash flow, is 100% tax-deductible as an operating expense (operating lease) and shields you from depreciation risk. Buying is cheaper over total useful life but ties up capital. We model both scenarios for your machine.

What happens at the end of the lease?+

Three options: pay the balloon and take ownership, return the machine, or trade in through TerraMachinery and upgrade to a newer model.
