Why Financing Tree Equipment Makes Sense

Tree service companies rely heavily on expensive gear — from bucket trucks to stump grinders. But purchasing equipment outright can quickly drain your cash flow, especially for smaller teams or seasonal operators.

That’s why equipment financing is one of the smartest moves in the arborist business: it helps you get the tools you need now, while preserving cash for payroll, insurance, and emergencies.

What Can You Finance?

CapEx Resources helps finance nearly every type of tree service gear:

  • Bucket trucks and forestry trucks

  • Stump grinders and wood chippers

  • Skid steers, mini-excavators, and trailers

  • Chainsaws, climbing harnesses, safety equipment

  • Used and private party equipment accepted

Whether you’re replacing an old truck or expanding your fleet, financing lets you grow without compromise.

How Equipment Financing Works

Equipment financing is a business loan where the equipment itself serves as collateral. Here’s the basic process:

  1. Choose your gear — Get a quote or invoice from a dealer or seller.

  2. Apply online — No hard credit check to see options.

  3. Get approved — Often same-day decisions.

  4. Fund the purchase — The lender pays the seller directly.

  5. Make monthly payments — Fixed terms (typically 24–60 months).

The gear is yours from day one — you just pay over time.

Why Tree Companies Choose Financing

  • Preserve cash flow for payroll and overhead

  • Upgrade sooner without waiting to save

  • Own your gear instead of renting

  • Take on bigger jobs with the right tools

  • Get approved fast without jumping through hoops

From storm response to large-scale land clearing, the right gear gives you leverage — and peace of mind.

Who Qualifies?

You may qualify for equipment financing if:

  • Your business makes $10,000+/month

  • You’ve been in business at least 6 months

  • Your credit score is 550+ (lower may still qualify)

  • You have a quote or seller invoice for the gear

Even if you’ve been turned down by a bank or just started full-time, we may still be able to help.
