You Don't Have to Have Perfect Credit
That’s why we work with multiple financing sources rather than relying on a single lender.
Your financing options may depend on factors such as your credit profile, business experience, project cost, income, down payment, and lender requirements.
Even if you’re a first-time business owner or your credit isn’t perfect, it’s still worth exploring your options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I finance a food truck?
Yes. Financing may be available for qualified applicants purchasing or building a food truck, food trailer, mobile kitchen, or related equipment. Available financing depends on the project, applicant qualifications, and lender requirements.
Can I finance 100% of my food truck?
Potentially. Some financing programs may offer financing up to 100% of eligible project costs for qualified applicants. The amount you can finance depends on the financing program, project, and your qualifications.
Can I finance a food truck with bad credit?
Possibly. We work with multiple financing sources, and different lenders may have different qualification requirements. Having less-than-perfect credit does not necessarily mean you have no options.
Can I get financing if I'm a first-time business owner?
Potentially. Some financing programs may work with newer businesses, while others may have minimum business or financial requirements. We’ll help you explore the options that may fit your situation.
How much does a food truck loan cost?
The cost of financing depends on factors such as the amount financed, term, interest rate or financing structure, and your qualifications. Once your project is defined, you’ll have a better idea of the amount you’ll need to finance and what options may be available.
How long does food truck financing take?
Timing varies depending on the financing program, application, documentation, project details, and lender. Providing accurate information and having your project details ready can help keep the process moving.
Does checking my financing options hurt my credit?
That depends on the type of credit inquiry used by the financing provider. When appropriate, we can help you understand whether an initial inquiry is a soft or hard credit pull before proceeding.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before applying?
No. You can start with an idea. We’ll help you work through the type of truck or trailer, size, equipment, and estimated project cost before you move forward.
