from my experience, equipment financing actually helped my business credit a lot , once I set up auto-pay and treated it like a fixed overhead, the consistent on-time payments boosted our profile and made the next machine easier to finance, but I've also seen how stretching too thin can stress cash flow fast if you don't structure the terms right.
