Why Michigan operators choose us
Most step deck buyers in Michigan run into the same wall: the dealership's finance company turns them down for one reason — time in business, credit profile, age of equipment, prior BK. The bank takes weeks and asks for paperwork that isn't relevant. The deal dies on a technicality, not because the customer can't afford the equipment.
That's our business. We've spent 22 years building programs for the deals other lenders can't fit. Across every credit tier. Strong credit usually gets zero down. Lower credit usually gets a higher down payment. We're flexible enough to handle every scenario.
No one bank beats our flexibility.

Who we fund in Michigan
Strong-credit operators who want the convenience of an equipment-finance specialist instead of bank paperwork. App-only, mostly phone and email.
Established businesses scaling fleets that need fast underwriting without bank back-and-forth.
First-time buyers who can't get past a dealer's finance company on time-in-business or down-payment requirements.
Operators with prior BK, slow pay, or thin file who need a finance company that will work the deal, not auto-decline.
Buyers of used equipment outside dealer finance age and hours limits.
Operators who want one financing relationship across many dealers — TAC carries with you. Get approved once, work with any vendor in Michigan.
Insurance partner
Need commercial truck or trailer insurance?
We refer truck and trailer insurance to Ten Four Insurance. They specialize in operators going independent, fleets adding equipment, and new-authority owner-ops — the same kind of customers we fund. They usually quote fast.
A Detroit-area manufacturing hauler financing a used Reitnouer step deck for industrial equipment moves out of the Detroit metro called us after the dealer's finance company declined his application. Three minutes on the phone and we'd identified the program that fit his file. We told him exactly what to expect — what to send, what the down payment range would look like, when he'd have an answer back.
Closed inside a week. Equipment delivered. Operator back to work.
It's rare we send anyone away without an option.

The boss riding shotgun on the rebar trailer between hauls
“I have a small trucking company in Raleigh, NC. We deliver rebar for bridges and hospitals. The last 7 weeks purchasing our newest commercial truck, we were hit head-on with downfall and red tape. We were paired with Mr. Camron Hanna. This gentleman went above and beyond to help our employees keep running our roads — mind you, from 7 states away. We highly recommend Mr. Hanna. We are running.”

How we structure step deck deals in Michigan
You call us or send the application. Three-minute phone diagnosis or 60-second pre-qual form.
We underwrite your profile — terms based on credit tier, equipment age, time in business, industry, and what's funding today. We're a fishing guide for commercial finance.
We bring real terms. Not "rate starts at" marketing numbers. Down payment, monthly payment, term, and what we'd need to close.
You sign and get insurance, the equipment funds. Direct to the dealer or vendor. DocuSign close in many cases.
From first call to funded equipment, most deals close in a week or less.
