Bottling & Canning Line Financing

Finance bottling and canning lines with step payments that follow distribution — the equipment that turns a taproom into a wholesale business. Representative example: a $750,000 canning line runs about $14,300/month.*

The Canning line Reality

A canning line changes what a beverage company is. Before it you sell what people drink on the premises; after it you sell into distributors, chains, and accounts that expect consistent supply — and the line has to run at a speed those accounts justify before it earns anything. That ramp is the entire financing problem: capacity arrives all at once, distribution builds over quarters. We step the payments to follow the accounts.

Payment Structures

The differentiation: four ways to own the same equipment, engineered to your cash flow. Compare them side by side on our structures page.

Operating Lease

Off-balance-sheet treatment with end-of-term flexibility — return, renew, or purchase. Often the right answer when technology cycles or accounting outcomes drive the decision.

$1 Buyout Lease

Own the equipment for one dollar at term end. Fixed payments, full Section 179 eligibility, and a clean path to ownership.

Seasonal & Step Payments

Payments that follow your revenue curve — lighter in slow months, heavier in peak season, or stepping up as new equipment ramps to full production.

Usage-Based & As-a-Service

Payments tied to hours, output, or consumption. The category Elevex is defining: pay for what equipment achieves, not what it costs.

Common Questions

Can payments ramp with distribution instead of starting at full?

Yes — step structures are the right fit here. Lower payments while you are filling one shift a week, rising as accounts and volume come on, sized so the annual total still works. Compare step structures.

Is a mobile canning contract a reason to wait?

It is a reason to run the numbers carefully. Mobile canning has no capital cost but a per-case fee that scales forever, and a line has the opposite shape. The crossover volume is the number that decides it, and it is worth calculating before either commitment.

Can I finance a used canning line?

Yes — used canning line financing is standard business, whether the unit comes from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller. We value working assets on condition and remaining service life, not a blanket age cutoff, and set terms the equipment can actually support.

Does a canning line qualify for Section 179?

Most business-use equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often meaning the first-year deduction outruns your first-year payments. Run your numbers on our Section 179 calculator and confirm specifics with your tax advisor.
