TL;DR: Why Become an Equipment Finance Sub-Broker in Canada
Canada’s $150B+ equipment financing market is expanding, with demand from industries like trucking, construction, agriculture, and healthcare. Sub-brokers play a vital role in connecting local businesses to financing solutions. By joining Mehmi Financial Group’s sub-broker program, you gain access to 30+ lending partners, fast 24–48h approvals, competitive commissions, and white-label branding options. Whether you’re an independent broker, consultant, vendor, or ex-banker, this program gives you the infrastructure to grow your book of business without the overhead of building a full lending operation.
Why Sub-Brokers Are Vital in Canadian Equipment Financing
The Canadian economy relies on small and mid-sized businesses in capital-intensive sectors. According to industry reports, 80% of Canadian SMEs use some form of financing for equipment. Yet, most don’t go directly to banks or large lenders. They rely on trusted local advisors — brokers and sub-brokers — who understand their business challenges.
Key reasons sub-brokers thrive in this space:
- Localized trust: Businesses prefer dealing with people they know in their community.
- Bank fatigue: Traditional banks reject many small business applications, creating opportunities for alternative lenders.
- Product diversity: With trucks, CNC machines, dental chairs, and lasers all financed differently, businesses value advisors who can match them to the right program.
- Growing demand: Infrastructure, e-commerce, and healthcare growth continue to drive equipment demand.
By joining Mehmi’s program, sub-brokers can tap into this demand without needing their own underwriting or compliance teams.
What Is an Equipment Finance Sub-Broker Program?
A sub-broker program lets independent brokers or professionals partner with a financing group. Instead of running the full lending operation (credit review, compliance, collections), the sub-broker focuses on sourcing clients. Mehmi handles the backend, funding, and lender relationships.
Key Benefits for Sub-Brokers:
- Access to Mehmi’s full product suite — equipment loans, leases, working capital, and more.
- Commissions on every funded deal, with fast payout after disbursement.
- Faster approvals than banks (24–48h on qualified deals).
- White-label capability, allowing you to present financing under your own brand.
- Marketing and training support to grow your client base.
This model reduces friction, increases income potential, and lets you grow without adding operational overhead.
Who Should Apply?
The program is designed for professionals who already have access to business clients but need financing solutions to monetize those relationships. Ideal candidates include:
- Independent brokers looking to expand their lending reach.
- Accountants and consultants with SME clients needing financing.
- Vendors and dealers who want to offer financing alongside equipment sales.
- Ex-bankers or loan officers seeking independence without infrastructure costs.
- Entrepreneurs in B2B services (logistics, construction supply, IT, etc.) who want scalable revenue streams.

In Vancouver, 2024, a consultant specializing in construction firms joined Mehmi’s sub-broker program. Within three months, he closed:
- Three construction equipment loans (excavators and skid steers).
- Two trucking leases for a logistics client.
Because Mehmi handled underwriting, lender selection, and compliance, he focused on client relationships and deal flow. In his first quarter, his commissions exceeded $25,000, creating a new revenue stream without overhead.
