Acquiring the right trailer is vital for any logistics, construction, or trucking business in Brampton. Buying a trailer outright can strain your finances, but trailer financing allows you to spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. At Mehmi Financial Group, we specialize in customized trailer financing tailored to your needs. Whether you need a dry van, reefer, flatbed, dump trailer, or utility trailer, our fast approvals and flexible terms let you expand your fleet without depleting your cash reserves.
Why Trailer Financing Matters
- Preserve Working Capital:
Paying cash for a trailer ties up significant funds. Financing lets you keep that capital available for payroll, fuel, or unexpected expenses. - Flexible Repayment Plans:
Choose loan terms—from 36 to 84 months—that fit your budget. Whether you prefer lower monthly payments or a shorter term with less interest, we offer options to match your cash flow. - Access to Modern Equipment:
Instead of settling for an older model, financing enables you to afford newer trailers with safety features, better fuel efficiency, and higher resale value. - Tax Benefits:
Interest paid on a business trailer loan is often tax-deductible. Consult your accountant to maximize depreciation and interest write-offs. - Build Business Credit:
Timely payments on your trailer loan help strengthen your business credit profile, making future equipment or working-capital loans easier to secure and cheaper to carry.
Types of Trailers You Can Finance
At Mehmi Financial Group, we finance a wide range of trailers used by Brampton businesses:

- Equipped with refrigeration units for perishable items.
- Commonly used by food distributors, florists, and medical suppliers.
- Flatbed Trailers
- Perfect for hauling heavy construction equipment, lumber, and oversized loads.
- Open deck design allows easy loading from all sides.

How to Qualify for Trailer Financing in Brampton
Securing trailer financing with Mehmi Financial Group is straightforward if you prepare these items:
- Proof of Business Income
- Provide up to two years of business financial statements or personal tax returns if you’re an owner-operator.
- Bank statements for the last three to six months also help validate your cash flow.
- Credit Score & History
- A credit score above 650 typically qualifies for the best rates (4%–8%).
- Scores between 550 and 649 can still obtain financing, often with a 10%–20% down payment.
- Below 550? Our bad credit financing program can help, usually requiring a larger down payment (20%–30%) or a co-signer.
- Down Payment (If Required)
- Many lenders prefer at least a 10% down payment on new or late-model used trailers.
- A higher down payment reduces your monthly payment and lowers your interest rate.
- Trailer Details
- If you’ve already picked a trailer, gather make, model, year, VIN, mileage, and dealer or seller information.
- Having a purchase agreement or invoice ready speeds up approval.
- Proof of Insurance
- Lenders typically require evidence that the trailer will be insured for the duration of the loan.
- Liability-only coverage may be acceptable initially, but full coverage is recommended to protect your investment.
Collecting these documents ahead of time helps ensure a swift approval process.
