FAQ

Truck financing
FAQ.

Everything you need to know about financing your next commercial truck or trailer. Still have questions? Call 954-678-4124 or email credit@nefnow.com.

Can I get truck financing with bad credit?

Yes. NEF NOW works with credit scores as low as 500 and evaluates your full financial picture — including business cash flow, time in business and down payment. A larger down payment (20–40%) can significantly improve approval odds for challenged credit applicants.

What documentation is needed to apply?

Typically: government-issued ID, 3–6 months of bank statements, CDL (if applicable), proof of insurance and basic business information (EIN, business address). Startups may need a personal financial statement. Our team will guide you through the exact requirements for your situation.

How long does the approval process take?

Most applicants receive a decision within 24–48 business hours. Pre-qualification (soft pull) is available in minutes. Once approved, funding and documentation can be completed in as little as 1–2 business days, so you can take delivery quickly.

Can a new business or startup get approved?

Yes. NEF NOW offers startup programs for new businesses. These programs typically require a higher down payment (20–30%) and may rely more heavily on personal credit. Owner-operators starting their first trucking business are encouraged to apply.

What types of trucks and trailers can be financed?

Virtually all commercial equipment: semi-trucks (day cabs, sleepers), dry van trailers, refrigerated trailers, flatbeds, dump trailers and more. Both new and used equipment qualify, including units with high mileage on a case-by-case basis.

Is there a prepayment penalty if I pay off early?

Prepayment terms vary by lender. Many NEF NOW lending partners offer loans with no prepayment penalty, so you can pay off your equipment early and save on interest. Always confirm the specific terms of your loan agreement before signing.
