Loan Options For Trucks and Trailers.

Acquiring financing for commercial trucks and trailers can be as varied as the vehicles themselves. Numerous loan options cater to a range of needs and financial circumstances, enabling businesses, fleet operators, and first-time truck owners to hit the road on their business ventures.

Whether considering secured truck loans or exploring unsecured business finance, each avenue presents distinct benefits and considerations.

Type of Loans Available

Secured Truck Loans

About Secured Loans

Secured truck loans are a standard option when purchasing commercial trucks and trailers. A Secured Loan can help when borrowing higher amounts as lenders will take the truck as security against the loan. This provides comfort for the bank and usually comes with better interest rates.

Truck Leasing

About Truck Leasing

Truck leasing is a popular and flexible option for businesses looking to acquire commercial vehicles without the immediate financial burden of ownership. In a truck leasing arrangement, a business agrees to pay a fixed monthly amount to use the truck over a specified period.

Rent To Own

About Rent To Own

Rent-to-own truck financing is a financial arrangement where a business or individual can lease a truck with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease period. It provides flexibility for those who may not want to commit to a full purchase upfront.

Unsecured Business Loans

Unsecured Business Loans offer flexible financing solutions for older model trucks and trailers. These unsecured loans don’t require collateral, making them ideal for those who might be considering private sales or older model trucks not normally financed by banks. With personalised loan terms, they can accommodate various budgets

Line of Credit

About Line of Credit

A revolving credit line is a flexible financial tool offering businesses continuous access to a set credit limit. Unlike fixed-repayment loans, it permits withdrawing and repaying funds on a revolving basis.

COMMON QUESTIONS

ABOUT TRUCK FINANCE

Truck financing typically covers a broad range, including semi-trucks, delivery trucks, tow trucks, and specialty vehicles used for various industries..

Eligibility criteria may vary among lenders but often include factors like the applicant’s creditworthiness, business financials, and the age and condition of the truck.

The loan amount depends on factors such as the type of truck, its age, and the borrower’s creditworthiness. Lenders often finance a significant portion of the truck’s cost.

Interest rates vary based on factors like the borrower’s credit score, the loan term, and market conditions. Rates can be fixed or variable.

While some lenders may require a down payment, others offer no-money-down financing options. A down payment can reduce the loan terms and monthly payments.

Some lenders specialize in financing for individuals with less-than-perfect credit. However, interest rates may be higher, and the terms could be less favorable.

Common documents include proof of identity, business financial statements, tax returns, information about the truck, and sometimes a business plan.

Loan terms can vary but are often between one to seven years. Shorter terms may result in higher monthly payments but lower overall interest costs

Yes, our lenders offer financing for used trucks. The terms may vary, and interest rates could be influenced by factors like the age and condition of the vehicle.

Yes, leasing is a common alternative to purchasing. It offers flexibility, potential tax advantages, and the option to upgrade to newer models at the end of the lease term.

PROS & CONS OF TRUCK LOANS

PRO'S

Preservation of Capital:

Financing a truck allows businesses to preserve capital by avoiding a substantial upfront payment. This capital can be redirected to other operational needs, such as inventory, marketing, or business expansion.

Asset Ownership at the End:

Once the financing term is complete and all payments are made, the business owns the truck outright. This contrasts with leasing, where ownership doesn’t transfer. Having a fully owned asset can positively impact the business’s balance sheet.

CON'S

Interest Costs:

One significant drawback of financing is the accrual of interest costs over the loan term. While spreading payments over time is advantageous, businesses end up paying more than the actual purchase price due to interest.

Depreciation Risk:

Commercial vehicles, including trucks, depreciate over time. If the financed truck’s value depreciates faster than the repayment of the loan, it can result in a situation where the outstanding loan amount exceeds the vehicle’s worth, known as being “upside down” on the loan. This poses a financial risk if the truck needs to be sold or replaced before the loan is paid off.

I cannot recommend Christine from iCredit highly enough. I had been dealing with another broker who had done nothing but talk for 2 weeks before I called her. It was a complicated loan because of self-employment and the fact I had borrowed nothing from anyone in 12 years. Christine was onto it asap and got it all done within a week. Everyone happy; No tears.
