Is financing a good fit?
Pros
- Finance new and used trucks, vans and trailers to meet growing demand.
- Stock more dealer inventory without tying up your own cash.
- Cover fuel, repairs, parts and payroll without disrupting operations.
- Access funds fast for breakdowns, auctions or sudden opportunities.
Keep in mind
- Some equipment and vehicle purchases require a 5-25% down payment, depending on credit.
- Faster funding can cost more than a traditional bank loan - so it's best used to grow or seize an opportunity, not as a last resort.
