Construction Equipment Financing Questions

Common questions from contractors and construction business owners.

Construction equipment financing allows you to acquire heavy equipment without paying the full purchase price upfront. Instead:

  • You make a down payment (often 0-20% depending on credit)
  • The lender purchases the equipment or provides funds
  • You make monthly payments over 24-72 months
  • At the end, you own the equipment outright (loan) or have purchase options (lease)

This preserves your working capital for job costs while letting you put the equipment to work immediately.

Yes. Both new and used equipment can be financed. For used heavy equipment:

  • Most lenders finance equipment up to 10-15 years old (depending on type)
  • Hours/condition are evaluated alongside age
  • Down payments may be higher (10-20%)
  • Terms may be shorter than new equipment

Used equipment often makes sense—lower cost, proven reliability, and immediate availability.

Requirements vary by lender and deal size:

  • Prime lenders: 680+ credit, 2+ years in business, strong financials
  • Near-prime: 620-680, may require larger down payment
  • Specialty lenders: 550+, higher rates but accessible

For larger equipment purchases, lenders focus heavily on business revenue, existing contracts, and cash flow—not just credit scores.

Typical timeline for construction equipment financing:

  • Initial decision: 24-48 hours
  • Documentation review: 1-3 days
  • Funding: 3-7 days after docs complete

Straightforward deals can fund within a week. Larger or more complex transactions may take longer.

Yes. We can help finance equipment from various sources:

  • Dealer purchases: New or used from authorized dealers
  • Auctions: Ritchie Bros, IronPlanet, regional auctions
  • Private sales: Direct purchases from other contractors

For auction and private sale purchases, lenders typically require inspection reports and clear title documentation.

No. Canada Equipment Finance is a finance broker, not a lender. We don't provide financing directly or make credit decisions.

Our role is to connect you with appropriate lenders from our network of Canadian equipment finance companies. This broker model benefits you because we can access multiple lenders and find options that fit your specific situation.
