Our criteria: How to choose the right machine financing in 2026
To select the best provider, we've reviewed the following four criteria:
Cost
Cost is often the decisive factor when choosing machine financing. We've analyzed which lenders offered the lowest average effective interest rate during 2025.
Winner - lender with lowest cost
- Marginalen Bank
- Svea
- Fedelta
Payout rate
The payout rate shows how often an approved loan offer actually leads to paid out funds (number of paid out loans / number of selected loan offers). A high payout rate shows that lenders largely follow through on their offers.
Winner - lender with highest payout rate
- Froda
- Marginalen Bank
- Fedelta
Time to payout
Time is money for most business owners seeking financing. That's why, in this category, we've chosen to analyze the average time from when a customer selects an offer until the capital is paid out.
Winner - Lender with the fastest payout
- Froda
- Jiro
- Qred
Approval rate
The last criterion we've reviewed is approval rate, which measures how often a lender submits a bid on the applications they receive. A high approval rate shows that financing is more accessible to a larger share of businesses, even those without a perfect credit rating.
Winner - Lender with highest approval rate
- Nordic Finance
- Froda
- Lendify
