I just submitted my application, how long will this take?
While technically is it possible for same day funding to occur, on average:
Dealers/Vendors with Existing Relationship: same day or 1-2 business days
Dealers/Vendors with No Relationship: 2-3 business days
Private Party Sales: 5-7 business days
All transactions are handled urgently, however If expedited service is required please let us know as soon as possible so we may accommodate your needs.
How will this impact my personal credit?
It won’t, unless there is a personal guarantee for the loan/lease and you default without communicating resolution.
How will this impact my business credit?
After 18 – 24 (months) timely payments, you will have obtained “comparable borrowing history”. If you did not have comparable borrowing history prior to this transaction, then your next transaction should come more easily. If you don’t pay on time, your business credit may show how long it takes for bills to be paid.
Can I pay my lease off early?
No, a lease is a contractual agreement to pay for a fixed period. If you are looking to pay off your lease early, you will owe the remaining number of payments plus any applicable taxes or fees.
Can I pay my loan off early?
Yes, however the extent of savings varies greatly depending upon the loan structure. Please communicate your need for an “Early Buyout Addendum” if not stipulated in the loan contract.
Are there prepayment penalties?
Short answer is No. However the question being asked is misleading in context. Rephrased as, “Will you save a bunch of money by paying off the loan early?” See “Can I pay my loan off early”.
Who does the title or registration?
If the dealer or vendor has state income tax nexus, we prefer for the dealer or vendor to transfer the title. However our vendors and customers may be spread out across the country, lacking nexus, in this case, the lender will choose to title in order to perfect the security interest in the collateral.
How long does it take to get my tag and get moving?
Generally, 3-4 business days, sometimes longer depending on your local DMV processing time. Making sure we have the correct mailing address for your local DMV may expedite this process.
When will I get the money?
All monies are transferred directly to the dealer or seller listed on the bill of sale or sales order. This generally happens a couple hours after the contract is signed. For example, if contract documents are signed at 3PM EST – then likely the funding would take place the following day.
What are your credit requirements?
Our credit requirements are often curated with the dealers we partner with. Generally, w`e prefer at least 2 years in business or 3 years of industry experience, Experian FICO 9 scores above 625, with a clear business use case for the equipment or asset being financed or leased. Substantial deposits may negate a one time credit mishaps.
What are your finance rates?
You may check the WSJ Prime Rate to inquire where rates are today. Your finance rates will be credit based and driven off your business credit and ability to repay.
What kind of Equipment is eligible?
Any equipment required to run your business. The equipment must make sense, and must have a clear and valid use case for your business.

Yes, freight, installation, accessories, components, software, training, etc. may all be included in the finance amount.
What is our minimum and maximum transaction size?
Minimum Transaction $20,000.00 up to $10,000,000.00.
