Reliable vehicles are the foundation of any successful trucking business. But if your credit score isn’t perfect, getting approved for a lease can feel impossible. That’s where Mehmi Financial Group comes in. We offer commercial truck leasing solutions for bad credit—because your past shouldn’t limit your future.

Whether you're an owner-operator in Calgary, a fleet builder in Toronto, or a new business in Halifax, we make it easier to get on the road.

What is Truck Leasing with Bad Credit?

Truck leasing allows you to use a commercial truck without buying it outright. Leasing typically involves lower monthly payments and fewer upfront costs than traditional truck loans. It’s a flexible, cost-effective solution for drivers with less-than-perfect credit.

Why Lease Instead of Buy?

  • Lower upfront costs than purchasing a truck
  • Flexible lease terms tailored to your revenue cycle
  • Opportunity to upgrade to newer models every few years
  • Tax-deductible payments in many cases
  • Easier approval compared to traditional loans

How to Get Approved with Bad Credit

Even with poor credit, you can still qualify by strengthening other parts of your application:

1. Work with the Right Partner

Unlike banks, Mehmi Financial Group understands your unique situation. We specialize in truck leasing for all credit types.

2. Show Strong Cash Flow

Proof of regular freight contracts or delivery income builds lender confidence.

3. Provide a Business Plan

We evaluate the full picture—not just your credit score. A simple summary of your business model and goals helps.

4. Consider a Larger Down Payment (Optional)

If possible, offering more upfront can improve your approval odds and lower monthly payments.

5. Add a Co-Signer (Optional)

A co-signer with stronger credit can help secure better leasing terms.
