Sell More Equipment with Financing Built for Printing & Signage.

Whether you're selling a $30,000 cutter or a $500,000 digital press, FPG helps your sales team present financing earlier and keep the deal moving forward.

Financing should not be the thing your team reaches for after a customer says the price is too high. Used earlier in the sales process, it becomes a competitive advantage that helps buyers focus on the payment, preserve cash and get to yes faster.

Built to Keep Deals Moving

Financing that works at the speed of an equipment sale

Fast decisions matter, but speed alone is not enough. Equipment sellers need flexibility, competitive structures and people who understand the equipment, the buyer and the transaction.

The Equipment Seller's Perspective

Financing should help create the yes — not show up after the no.

Your priority is to move equipment, shorten the sales cycle and protect margin. When financing is treated as an afterthought, the buyer may already be comparing a lower-spec machine, a used unit or keeping the work outsourced another year.

Sell up instead of down

Presenting financing early helps a buyer step up to the configuration that actually fits the work, instead of choosing the machine that fits this month's cash.

Overcome payment objections

Shift the conversation from total purchase price to a monthly payment that can be compared with the jobs the equipment will bring in-house and the turnaround time it improves.

Protect margin

Give customers structure and payment flexibility before discounting the machine or the service package becomes the easiest way to save the deal.

Keep customers from walking

More financing options reduce the chance of losing a buyer simply because the first credit path or payment structure did not fit.

We Speak Printing & Signage

Built around the equipment your customers need to put to work

FPG finances new and used printing and signage equipment, bundled production packages and multi-asset configurations. We underwrite the buyer and understand that equipment type, condition, resale value and production requirements can all influence how a transaction should be structured.

Why Equipment Sellers Use FPG

One financing relationship. More ways to get the deal done.

FPG combines direct lending, in-house underwriting and a network of strategic funding partners. That gives your sales team more flexibility without forcing them to manage multiple lender relationships on every opportunity.

People who understand the equipment and the sale

Printing and signage deals are not generic business financing. The equipment, application, production volume and customer profile all matter. FPG's team works with sellers and buyers to structure the transaction around the equipment and the way the shop will run it.

Flexible Structures

Typical programs are not one-size-fits-all.

The right structure depends on the customer, the equipment and how the machine will generate revenue. FPG can structure the sale around the transaction instead of forcing every buyer into the same financing box.

Equipment Finance Agreements

Traditional EFA structures for customers that want predictable payments and ownership economics.

$1 Purchase Options

Fixed-term structures designed for customers who intend to own the equipment at the end of the term.

Residual Structures

Options that can reduce scheduled payments when a residual value makes sense for the asset and transaction.

Deferred Payments

Structures that can help a customer get through installation and training before regular payments begin.

Step & Seasonal Payments

Payment schedules aligned more closely with ramp-up periods, contract start dates or seasonal production cycles.

Bundled Software & Workflow

RIP software, color management, workflow automation and estimating systems can be financed when bundled with the equipment.

New Equipment

Programs for new presses, printers, cutters, finishing systems and full production packages.

Used Equipment

Financing for qualifying used equipment, including auction and private-party opportunities.

Installation, integration, freight and tooling can be included alongside the equipment, so customers can finance the complete setup rather than the machine alone.

How It Works

From equipment quote to funded sale

Your sales team stays focused on the customer and the next machine instead of chasing financing paperwork.

Quote the Equipment

Your rep builds the proposal around the customer's production need.

2

Present Financing

3

The goal: make financing part of the sales motion without turning your sales team into a finance department.

Printing & Signage Equipment Financing FAQ

Questions equipment sellers ask

Why should our sales team introduce financing before a customer objects to price?
Introducing financing earlier gives the customer more ways to evaluate the purchase. Instead of discussing only total price, your rep can also frame the decision around monthly cash flow, preserved working capital and how quickly the equipment can start producing billable work.
What types of financing structures can FPG offer?
Depending on the transaction and credit profile, structures can include equipment finance agreements, $1 purchase options, residual structures, deferred payments, step payments, seasonal payments, and financing for new or used equipment.
Can software and workflow technology be financed with the equipment?
Yes. RIP software, color management, workflow automation and estimating systems can be financed when bundled with the equipment, so the customer finances the production setup rather than the hardware alone.
Can installation, freight and training be included in the financing?
Yes. Installation, integration, freight and tooling can be included alongside the equipment. Amounts and structure are subject to credit approval.
How fast are decisions?
Most credit decisions come back in two to four hours. Larger packages, unusual structures or more complex credit situations can require additional review.
What happens when a deal does not fit FPG's direct-lending box?
FPG also works with 25+ strategic funding partners. That gives the team additional ways to structure qualifying transactions without forcing the seller to manage separate lender relationships.
When does the seller get paid?
FPG funds your dealership in full on delivery and acceptance. The purchaser pays FPG based on the terms of the loan. You receive payment, and FPG ensures the loan is fulfilled.
