Typical Terms and Considerations

While terms vary based on creditworthiness, collateral, vehicle type, and underwriting criteria, common considerations include:

• Loan-to-value (LTV) ratios suitable for new and used commercial vehicles.
• Interest rates that reflect the borrower’s business credit profile and market conditions.
• Repayment horizons aligned with expected useful life of the vehicle, often ranging from short to medium terms.
• Potential covenants or insurance requirements to protect the borrower and lender interests.
• Options for balloon payments or seasonal adjustments may be available based on underwriting.

Documentation and Eligibility

To streamline processing and ensure an accurate assessment, applicants should be prepared to provide:

• Basic business information and legal documentation (formation documents, operating agreements or articles of incorporation).
• Financial statements or recent tax returns to demonstrate cash flow and repayment ability.
• Vehicle information, including make, model, year, VIN, purchase agreement or invoice, and intended use.
• Proof of insurance and any required registrations or permits for commercial operation.
• Credit history for the business and, if applicable, personal guarantors.

Eligibility depends on a number of factors including business tenure, revenue consistency, collateral valuation, and credit history. BankUnited’s underwriting team works with applicants to identify documentation requirements and help clarify the path to approval.

Financing commercial vehicles through a structured loan delivers operational advantages:

• Predictable budgeting: Fixed or structured payments simplify cash flow forecasting and expense management.
