Agricultural Equipment Funding

Why speed matters in agricultural financing

Canadian farmers don’t have the luxury of waiting weeks for banks to decide on funding. Planting, spraying, and harvesting happen on tight calendars — and missing the window can cost tens of thousands in lost yield. That’s why Mehmi structures agricultural equipment financing to work with the crop cycle, not against it. With clean files, many deals fund in 24–48 hours, and in straightforward cases, same-day approvals are possible.

A well-structured loan or lease makes it possible to get iron in the field this season while keeping operating cash available for seed, chemical, and fuel.

Three easy steps to get funded fast

Step 1 — Scope your package and model payments
List the full setup: tractor or combine, header/implement, GPS/RTK, loader, delivery, and install. Most of these are financeable — check Eligible Equipment. Compare equipment loans vs. leases and test 48/60/72-month terms in the calculator.

Step 2 — Apply online (clean file = fast decision)
Upload:

• 3–6 months business bank statements (PDFs, all operating accounts).
• Vendor quote with make/model/year/serials.
• Short use-of-funds note (acreage, crop plan, delivery date).

If you’re buying directly, Mehmi also sells equipment — browse inventory.

Step 3 — Clear conditions and schedule delivery
We line up invoices, e-sign docs, register PPSA, and request an insurance binder naming the lender as loss payee. You pick the delivery date.

Pick the structure that matches your cash cycle

What we commonly finance

• Tractors, combines, and headers
• Sprayers, seeders/planters, balers
• Grain carts, augers, conveyors
• Skid steers and telehandlers

If your plan also includes consumables or labour, pair with a Working Capital Loan.

Fast-lane checklist (copy/paste)

• Vendor quote with make/model, year, hours/km, serials, attachments, delivery date.
• 3–6 months business bank statements (full PDFs).
• One-paragraph use-of-funds: acres, crop plan, timing, revenue coverage.
• Insurance broker contact for binder (lender as loss payee).

Case Study: Ontario Grain Farm

A family-run Ontario farm needed a 200-hp tractor, GPS, and high-clearance sprayer before planting. We modeled loan vs. lease in the calculator and chose a 60-month lease with 10% buyout, keeping monthly payments low. A small Working Capital Loan covered seed and fuel. Credit cleared in 48 hours, and equipment was delivered the same week.

FAQ

Can I finance used ag equipment or private sales?
Yes — subject to age, condition, and full serials on the invoice. Start under Equipment Financing.

What if I already own equipment but need cash for inputs?
Use Refinancing & Sale-Leaseback to unlock equity.

What’s faster — loan or lease?
Both can move quickly. Leases lower monthly payments via residuals; loans are better for long-term ownership.

Can I bundle GPS, install, and delivery?
Yes — include them on the vendor quote and we can wrap them into financing.

Receivables pay in 45–60 days — options?
Bridge gaps with Invoice/Freight Factoring or a Line of Credit.

Do you supply equipment as well as financing?
Yes — Mehmi owns inventory and can coordinate purchase + finance.
