Our Programs for Equipment Financing with Bad Credit.
This is an asset-based program, which means one of two things; either there needs to be extra collateral that can be used to cross collateralize with the financing that is being offered; or there needs to be a larger down payment made. Both of these options will lower the chances of default by a credit-risked client.
1) I Have Bad Credit or No Credit – Not a Problem
Having bad credit or no credit is no longer an issue when it comes to our aggressive asset-based financing programs. These programs are specifically tailored for credit-challenged business owners. This would include the following:
- recent bankruptcy
- tax liens
- judgements
- collections
- previous repossessions
If you’ve experienced any of the above, that’s not a problem with Axe Business Funding. You can still get heavy equipment financing with no credit or bad credit!
2) I Haven’t Been in Business for Very Long – No Problem
Most heavy equipment financing programs require you to have been in business (in your current field) for at least 2-3 years to qualify. With Axe Business Funding we only require that you have been in business for at least 6 months. So if your a newer company but are making good money and the business is cash flowing then we can still get you qualified.
3) I Don’t Want to Fill Out Tons of Paperwork – You Don’t Have to!
- Only need 3 months of business bank statements, an application and the equipment you want to buy!
One of the most dreaded parts of financing is filling out paperwork. But don’t worry – you don’t have to fill out mountains of paperwork when you apply for heavy equipment financing with Axe Business Funding.
It couldn’t get any simpler than this! No tax returns, no income statements, no balance sheets, no P&L statements, absolutely no mounds of paperwork.
All that is required to get an approval is the last three months of business bank statements, an application and quote or invoice on the equipment you want to buy.
4) I Don’t Have a Lot of Money Down.
We want to help you get the equipment you need but that does involve us taking all the risk with these challenged/bad credit loans. We try to limit that risk with either requiring a 20-30% down payment or using existing equipment as additional collateral. These programs are designed to help business owners get equipment financing with bad credit.
