It is a cold Monday morning in Lapeer County, and the van with the most miles on it will not turn over in the driveway. Your best person is standing there with a full schedule, and you are already calling customers to move their jobs while you wonder how much longer you can keep patching an old fleet.
Vehicle financing gets the next truck or van, and the shelving, ladder racks or box that turn it into a work vehicle, onto one plan. Lenders who finance commercial vehicles see your file side by side, and you compare loans, leases and fleet programs on total cost, not just the payment.
The new van rolls out with its upfit done and a payment that fits the revenue it earns. You stop losing days to breakdowns, the old units get retired on a schedule and adding the next vehicle becomes a decision instead of an emergency.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

The names a customer compares you with, by Google review count.
We look at what you drive, how old it is and what it costs to keep running.
You settle on the vehicle and upfit, and we get the quote in writing.
Your file goes to commercial vehicle lenders and we lay out the offers.
You sign, the lender pays the dealer and the van goes to work.
What we report every month: Total cost of financing, Vehicle downtime days, Payments versus revenue per vehicle, and Replacement plan on schedule.
A loan means you own the truck and can upfit, wrap and drive it as hard as the work needs. A lease usually has lower payments but mileage limits and wear rules that can sting on a hard-working vehicle. For high-mileage work vans ownership often wins, but your numbers should decide.
Shelving, ladder racks, boxes, liftgates and wraps can add a lot to the cost of a work vehicle. Some lenders let you roll the upfit into the vehicle loan when the dealer or a known upfitter does the work. Planning it up front keeps you from paying for it out of pocket later.
Your credit, time in business, the vehicle's age and type, the down payment and the term set most of the cost. New vehicles sometimes come with manufacturer commercial programs, and used ones may carry shorter terms. Comparing more than one lender shows you the real range.
Once you run several vehicles, a fleet line or lease program can let you add units without a new application each time. It also makes it easier to replace vehicles on a schedule instead of waiting for breakdowns. We help you decide when that step makes sense.
A used truck can save real money, and many lenders finance them with a clean title and an inspection. Private sales need a bill of sale and a title transfer the lender can secure. We help line up the paperwork so the lender can pay the seller directly.
No interest, and it can leave you short for payroll, fuel and the next repair.
Fast and convenient at the lot, usually one offer built around the monthly payment.
Offers from several lenders, the upfit planned in and the total cost laid out before you sign.
