The new equipment finance loans will expand on a pilot program from OnDeck in which the company has been referring small businesses to a third party that originates and services the loans.

OnDeck will begin providing loans that range from $5,000 to $100,000, with terms from 24 to 60 months. The company plans to offer only equipment finance loans for new and used equipment, rather than lease, the release stated. — Transport Topics
