Questions Transportation owners ask us

Can I finance used equipment?

Yes. Both new and used equipment qualify. Equipment up to 20 years old may be eligible — age and condition are reviewed by a specialist.

I own equipment outright. Can I cash out against it?

If you own titled equipment with no existing lien, you may be able to access up to approximately 50% of its value as working capital — subject to underwriting review. A specialist will confirm.

How fast can I get funded?

Same-day decisions are available for qualified applicants. Most businesses receive funds within 24–48 hours of approval.

What credit score do I need?

We accept scores from 500. Monthly revenue and time in business are the primary qualifiers.

Do I need collateral beyond the equipment itself?

Most programs use the financed equipment as primary collateral. A specialist will confirm terms for your situation.

Business Climate in California

California has a more regulated business environment, but offers strong market demand and infrastructure, with approximately 4,200,000 small businesses operating statewide. The state economy is driven by technology, entertainment, agriculture, and more. California has robust consumer-protection disclosure requirements for commercial financing under SB 1235. For transportation owners, this means a sizable local customer base and an established ecosystem of suppliers, workforce, and support services.

Transportation Industry in California

Transportation companies are benefiting from supply-chain complexity and the growth of on-demand delivery services. In California, transportation businesses must comply with DOT authority, FMCSA compliance, CDL licensing, and cargo insurance. Most transportation operators use funding to finance new vehicles, cover fuel and driver payroll, fund compliance upgrades, and bridge receivables from brokers and shippers. Whether you are located in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, or anywhere else in California, SMB Capital Funding provides equipment financing designed specifically for transportation businesses.

Funding Landscape in California

California sees $18.5 billion in SBA-backed lending annually, with an average small business loan size around $245,000. Traditional bank approval rates hover near 53%, which is why many transportation owners turn to direct lenders like SMB Capital Funding — where approval is based on revenue rather than credit score alone.
