Guarantor credit begins at 640. Application-only limits are up to $250,000 for scores 640–679 and up to $300,000 for scores 680+. Additional documentation and underwriting conditions can apply. These figures are program guidelines, not offers.

Above the applicable threshold, prepare two years of tax returns and business financial statements, interim year-to-date financial statements and six months of business bank statements. ATC will confirm the exact requirement.

NEW BUSINESS • UNDER 2 YEARS

Your experience matters.

The startup summary calls for a guarantor FICO of 680+, at least three years of relevant industry experience, and requests up to $200,000. Prepare a work-history summary and equipment quote. Startup-specific documentation, terms and upfront requirements need lender confirmation.

Discuss your startup

EQUIPMENT YOU OWN

Explore sale-leaseback or cash-out.

Eligible equipment owned free and clear may support an owned-equipment funding transaction. The lender reviews ownership, valuation, liens and condition. A blanket lien may need to be resolved even if the equipment loan is paid off.

Ownership, repurchase rights and payment obligations depend on the actual structure. We do not promise a percentage of equipment value or a cash amount before lender review.

Discuss owned equipment

NEW & USED

Start with a clear equipment quote.

New equipment

Provide a vendor quote and itemized equipment details. Ask about taxes, freight, installation and any non-equipment costs separately.

Eligible used equipment

The supplied general-equipment guideline is five years or newer. Condition, category and lender rules determine eligibility and the available term.

Tow vehicles and recovery equipment

Vehicle-specific limits and title requirements apply. Explore towing equipment →

PROGRAM BASICS

What determines a fit?

Business & owner

Established program: 2+ years operating and guarantor FICO 640+. Startup summary: 680+ and 3+ years relevant industry experience.

Equipment & location

Equipment must meet category, age and condition requirements. Continental-US headquarters only; Alaska and Hawaii excluded. ATC service-state review also applies.

Your actual offer

Meeting a threshold is not an approval. The lender determines the available amount, structure, term and required documents.

PAYMENT PLANNING

Understand the full offer.

Your monthly payment is only one part of the decision. Review the total financed amount, cash due, fees, payment count, ownership, personal guarantee, end-of-term purchase option and early-payoff calculation.

An equipment lease may not work like a standard interest-bearing loan. We will discuss a written offer instead of presenting a generic calculator as a the lender quote.
