Sawmill equipment financing

Bailey's offers equipment financing on the sawmill equipment it sells, from a portable mill to a headrig or a complete line. Terms depend on the equipment and your application, and a specialist walks you through the options.

How financing works at Bailey's

Four steps, in this order. If you are not sure what to buy yet, start with a specialist rather than the application.

Talk to a specialist first
  1. Settle on the equipment

    Pick the mill, package or configuration you want. For a portable mill that is usually a model and its accessories; for a headrig or a line it is a written quotation from a specialist.

  2. Apply online

    Fill in the secure online application with a description of the equipment and its approximate cost. It opens on our lender’s site in a new tab.

  3. Go through the options with a specialist

    Terms depend on the equipment and on your application, and every application is subject to credit approval. A specialist walks you through what is offered before you commit.

  4. A specialist follows up

    A Bailey’s specialist follows up on your application and quote.

A portable mill or a production line

Financing a portable mill and financing a production sawmill start in different places. Here is the order that works for each.

Buying a portable mill

One machine, often with a slabbing attachment or accessories. You usually know the model and package before you apply.

  1. Pick the mill and package, or ask a specialist to help you choose by the logs you cut.
  2. Apply online with the equipment and its approximate cost.
  3. A specialist goes through the options with you before you order.

Financing a headrig or a complete line

A larger purchase, usually financed by the business that will run it. The price depends on the configuration, so the quote comes first and financing follows.

  1. Plan the headrig, machine centers and log handling with a specialist.
  2. Get a written quotation that lists the configuration and what is included.
  3. Apply as a business with that quotation in hand, and go through the options with a specialist.

Financing questions

Anything else, call a specialist at 1-888-465-8227.

What sawmill equipment can I finance?

Bailey’s offers equipment financing on sawmill equipment, from portable mills to complete lines; ask whether your purchase qualifies. Whether it does, and on what terms, depends on the equipment and your application, so ask a specialist before you apply.

Can a business finance a production sawmill line?

Yes, a business can apply to finance a headrig, machine centers or a complete line. The online application is a business application: it asks about the business, its owners, the equipment and its approximate cost. Approval and terms depend on that application.

Do I get a quote before I apply?

For a headrig, a sawmill system or a complete line, yes. The price depends on the configuration, so a specialist works out the equipment with you and you get a written quotation first, then apply with it. For a portable mill you usually know the model and package already; you can apply with the equipment and its approximate cost, or ask for a quote first.

What are the rates and terms?

They depend on the equipment you are buying and on your application, so we do not publish them. Every application is subject to credit approval by the lender. A specialist walks you through the options before you commit.

Who do I talk to about financing?

Bailey’s sawmill specialists, on 1-888-465-8227 or sales@baileysonline.com, or through the form on this page. They help you choose the equipment and walk you through financing options. The application itself is completed online on the lender’s secure site.
