- Do you have a history in financing commercial vehicles?
Having a history in financing a commercial vehicle can make it easier to secure a commercial vehicle loan compared to first-time buyers. Lenders prefer to see a positive, solid borrowing history. The ideal scenario is being a borrower who has successfully held and paid off a commercial vehicle loan for at least 3 years. For first-time or less experienced borrowers, lenders may require a larger down payment amount. Learn more information about how to build your fleet as a first-time borrower.

The amount of money you put down is based on multiple factors: credit history, lender requirements, and the vehicle being finances. If you are a first-time borrower, you may need to put down a minimum of 20%.
- How long is the loan application process?
The duration of getting your credit approval and loan rates can take anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Credit approvals typically come within 1 to 4 business days. You may need to provide information such as bank statements, tax returns, and other financial documentation. The sooner all of the requirements are submitted and met, the quicker the decision is to be made.
- What credit score do you need to qualify for a Commercial Vehicle Loan?
The credit score required to qualify for a commercial vehicle can vary depending on the lender and specific terms of the loan.
People in the Excellent, Very Good, and Good ranges (670 and above) are considered acceptable, low-risk borrowers. Having a credit score between these ranges makes securing a commercial vehicle loan easier.
People in the Poor or Fair ranges (669 and below) often have difficulty being approved for a loan. While your credit score might be lower than average, there are alternatives that can help you get approved.
