Whether you are an owner operator looking to start up a business, or an established business looking to expand, there are many options available to get a tow truck lease or loan. A tow truck lease or loan can save your business money, allow you to purchase upgraded equipment, and ensure that your operating capital and lines of credit are freed up to allocate where needed. First you must decide which type of tow truck you need, in addition to the desired quantity. This will depend on your type of business, how many employees/staff you have, how many orders you process, etc. There are multiple options when it comes to choosing tow trucks, among which are hook and chain, wheel-lift, and flatbed tow trucks. Each type are better suited for different types of work, so be sure to do your research to learn about those that are best suited for your business needs. There are large differences between various makes, models, technologies and ideal usage, with both new and used tow trucks available for lease or purchase.

When it comes to financing, whether you obtain a lease or a loan, you need to decide home much money it takes to operate your business according to your set company goals, forecasts, and the local, state and national economy. With changes in fuel prices, usage tax, insurance, fees, licensing, registration, supplies, repair, maintenance, etc. you want to be cautious in regards to how much the true cost of running a business is in addition to the cost of maintaining a tow truck or tow truck fleet. Next, you will need to contact a reputable tow truck lease or financing company to learn about their terms, incentives, rates, and requirements. Ideally, your company will have excellent credit, several years in business, a reasonable down payment, and cash reserves, which will make you a sought after client for a financing firm. Therefore, you will be able to negotiate the best terms possible. If you have less than excellent credit, you may not qualify for a lease or loan, or you may have to put more money down or obtain a co-signer. There are several types of leases, such as an operating lease which allows the business to purchase the tow truck at the end of the lease, deduct payments as an operating expense, and not factor the tow truck in as a company asset or profit.

A capital lease is considered a more long term commitment, where interest is claimed as a company business expense. In this case, you also have the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease. Beyond these lease examples, a reputable tow truck financing firm will also be able to offer personalized financing options that offer the flexibility that suits your company’s needs. Once you have worked out the exact financing terms for your new or used tow truck, you will need to provide various documents to the lender such as license, bank statements, tax returns, down payment, and credit report. Then you will be on your way to business as usual.
