Truck Finance For A New Operator or No Financials
Truck Finance, particularly if you are new in business requires expert presentation. There are 6 major requirements you will need to meet to be assured an approval. Failure to convince the lender on only one will almost certainly end with the answer No!
Many of our clients cannot meet these conditions and need another option.
If you have thought out your new venture or have no financials but can clearly show you are making money (bank statements are a good indicator of how your business is doing) then an approval somewhere is very possible.
The real question is how much will it cost, what your payments will be.
So where will you fit in. The truth is usually the approval picks you rather than you picking the approval.
Who Is Getting Approved and Where?
-
- Bank Approvals – Late Model Truck, Deposit, Fallback Money, Home Buyer or Proven good credit, Written letter of offer from known company.
- Finance Companies, Tier 1 – Truck can be older, everything else as above
- Finance Companies Tier 2 – Truck can be older, letter of offer or bank statements showing good turnover, Fallback money, paid small defaults OK
- Rent to Buy Companies – Very good option for new start businesses, approvals are easier and you can upgrade to better deals at certain periods in the contract. You need to be making your payments for at least a year on time. A letter of offer is preferred. Bad Credit assessed by individual application.
- Finance Companies Tier 3 – Everyone has said no !! – You need to be realistic on truck price (under $100,000)

In one short year you will have solved this problem in many ways. You will have, a good credit rating, Financial Statements and Tax Return and a Truck with some equity in it, removing the need for a large deposit.

Mainstream Truck Finance Applications!
Not everyone is a new business and some new businesses do get approved in the mainstream.
To get a mainstream approval particularly for a new business you will need to be well organised and prepared to be asked a lot of questions along the way. These questions in the main will need to be backed up with supporting paperwork.
If you are talking to someone who tells you it will be easy. Unless you have good financials, previous good credit and are a property owner, you should hang up immediately. After 25 years looking at truck loans we can assure you 100% there is serious work to be done.
There are some rules that need to be adhered to;
- Is the truck suitable for the work required?
- Is the amount to be borrowed suitable?
- If something goes wrong, do you have access to cash as a fallback to meet your responsibilities
- What’s your credit history like?
- Is the truck value acceptable, for the amount to be lent?
- Is the business you have or will have financially sound?
Things that will really help your application are.
- Do you own a property asset (home or investment)?
- Have you had credit before for a similar amount?
- Will you contribute a deposit (Trade In or Cash)?
