Equipment Financing & Capital Equipment Loans
Get the equipment. Keep your cash.
Equipment financing pays for the machines, vehicles, and tools your business runs on. The equipment is the collateral, so on many programs smaller deals can be approved on an application alone — no tax returns.
Capco Capital is a commercial lending advisory firm that arranges financing as a loan broker, not a lender. Amounts, terms, and guidelines shown are general ranges that vary by lender, borrower, and (where applicable) property or collateral — they are not an offer or a commitment to lend.
Trucks and heavy equipment up to $150,000
A short path for the requests that can move quickly. Less paperwork up front, and we stay with you from application to funding.
Trucks and heavy equipment up to $150,000
Application only for many requests: no tax returns or financial statements up front. Decisions can come within days.
- Short application
- Driver's license
- The truck or equipment quote
- 3 months of bank or settlement statements
We're commercial lending advisors, not a lender. Timing and terms depend on the lender and your file; nothing here is a commitment to lend.
Who it fits and how it works
Equipment financing fits any business buying machines, vehicles, or tools it will use for years. The equipment you're buying is the collateral, so on many programs, smaller deals can be approved on an application alone, without tax returns. You send the application, the equipment invoice, and recent bank statements, and we match the deal to equipment programs in our lender network.
Why Equipment
Typical highlights — actual eligibility and terms depend on the funding partner and your qualifications.
Who it's for
Contractors, manufacturers, landscapers, oilfield and energy services, medical and dental practices, salons, auto shops — any business buying equipment it will use for years.
We arrange financing for businesses nationwide, except in California.

How it works
The same five steps for every deal we place — including the parts other lenders gloss over.
Pre-qualify
Two minutes, no credit pull. You get an instant read on your options.
Consult & apply
Talk it through with one of our team members, then submit the full application for your specific loan type — guided the whole way.
Match & negotiate terms
We package your file and place it with the lenders most likely to approve your deal. Offers come back; we compare them side by side and negotiate structure and pricing. You choose — nothing moves without you.
Underwriting & documents
Link your bank or upload documents once. Lenders often request additional documentation in underwriting — normal on nearly every deal, and we quarterback each request so nothing stalls.
Close & fund
Final approval, e-signatures, and closing on a real timeline — working capital in days, property on schedule. Then the capital lands.

Two ways to apply: application-only or full documentation
Truck and equipment deals can go in with a short application or a full documentation file. Here's the honest trade-off.
Application-only
The truck or equipment does most of the work as collateral, so many programs can decide on a short file with no tax returns.
What you send
- A signed application
- Your driver's license (your CDL for trucks)
- The truck or equipment paperwork: invoice, bill of sale, or lease payoff letter showing the year, VIN or serial number, and mileage or hours
- Usually 3 recent months of business bank statements or carrier settlement statements
What it usually gets you
- Faster decisions, often the same day on a clean file
- Much less paperwork to gather
Trade-offs
- Usually smaller maximum amounts, commonly up to about $150,000–$300,000 depending on the program
- Often a larger down payment
- Typically higher rates and shorter terms
- Fewer programs to choose from
- Stricter limits on truck or equipment age, mileage, and time in business
- A lender can still ask for more documents after it reviews the file
Full documentation
Everything in the application-only file plus the documents that show the whole business, so lenders can underwrite the full picture.
What you send
- Everything in the application-only file
- Business (and often personal) tax returns
- Financial statements: a current profit and loss and balance sheet
- Lease-on agreements, customer contracts, or backlog where they apply
- Proof of insurance, and any other items the lender lists
What it usually gets you
- Access to more programs and larger amounts
- Typically better rates, longer terms, and lower down payments
- Strong financials can offset weaker credit or a newer business
Trade-offs
- More paperwork to pull together
- More time, since the lender underwrites the whole file
Amounts, rates, terms, and down payments depend on the lender and your file. These are general patterns across programs, not a quote or a promise of approval. Read the full guide to application-only vs. full documentation.
