Private Sale Financing

Buying directly from another business or individual? We finance private-sale equipment and handle the appraisal and paperwork so the deal closes safely.

What is Private Sale Financing?

Some of the best equipment deals come from private sellers rather than dealers — but private purchases need careful handling to protect both buyer and seller. Private sale financing makes those deals bankable.

TruCapital arranges financing for private-sale trucks, trailers, and equipment across Canada, managing the appraisal, lien checks, and documentation so funds change hands securely.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need special financing for a private sale?

Private purchases lack dealer paperwork, so lenders require appraisal, lien checks, and proper documentation — all of which we manage for you.

Is buying privately safe?

With our process, yes. We confirm ownership, check for liens, and release funds directly to the seller only when everything is verified.

Can the seller be in another province?

Yes. We arrange private-sale financing across Canada, coordinating documentation between provinces.

How long does it take?

Once the appraisal and checks are complete, funding typically follows within a few business days.
