WHAT ARE LENDERS LOOKING FOR WITH START-UPS?
Define Start-up – In business 2 years or less. I can get a “Day One” start-up approved. If you’ve had a CDL for 1 year+ it will help, a credit score of 640+, have 25% down, and never a repo then there’s a very good chance.
Experience – Having a CDL for over a year helps, 2+ years is better yet
Stability – Some may require home ownership. Others may just require you be at the same address for a certain period, like 2+ years.
Down payment – Count on 20% to 25%, more if you have a low credit score.
Maximum loan – There will probably be a cap. I’ve seen as low as $60K, $125K, it depends on the lender.
Credit Scores count – North of 700 will get you approved with the best rate, down to 640 the rate will be double digit for sure, less, you’ll be looking at a sizable down payment (like 1/3) and a sizable rate. I can get approvals with score in the 500’s but you’ll need the down payment in cash (30-40% and you’ll probably pay back double the amount you borrow in 36-48 months). Do people borrow at that rate and survive? They do. And with prompt payments eventually qualify for loans with MUCH better terms.
How can I help? Remember, these aren’t rules, they’re guidelines. Different organizations weigh things differently and they change with economic conditions. That’s where I come in. I deal with multiple lenders so I can get you approved and do so at the best terms I can find for you. Getting that first truck/trailer loan can be daunting. I try to take some of the stress out of it and hopefully get you the best terms based on your individual situation.
