Why Minnesota operators choose us
Most excavator buyers in Minnesota 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.
What we know about Minnesota excavator financing
Minnesota spring frost-heave repair work, sewer/water frost-damage repair, and rebuild-season contractor demand drive spring/summer excavator utilization
Minnesota dairy farm expansion — manure lagoons, pad prep, silage pit walls — drives excavator demand for ag-country contractors
Minnesota surface mining and reclamation work drive heavy excavator demand — production digging, overburden removal, coal reclamation
We work with operators across Minnesota's major metros — including Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, and Bloomington.

Who we fund in Minnesota
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 Minnesota.
What this looks like in practice
A Minneapolis-area utility contractor financing a used CAT 315 for spring frost-heave sewer repair work 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.”

Dempsey's Freightliner Cascadia day cab — funded for fleet expansion
“I'm the owner of a trucking company and I had a great experience with Trust Alliance Capital. We had done an internet search for a highly rated financial company to help us attain funding for more trucks. Rodney Sessions was our agent and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I would give all of the staff at Trust Alliance Capital 5 stars and highly recommend them.”

How we structure excavator deals in Minnesota
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.
Also financing in Minnesota
We work with operators across every equipment category. If you're buying something other than excavator in Minnesota, we probably have a program for that too.
Drop your number and a quick note about what you're financing. A real person picks up — usually Spencer first — and in about three minutes you'll know if we can help.
