Municipal financing for Minnesota operators.
Trust Alliance Capital is a 22-year-old commercial equipment finance company. When your bank or the dealership's finance company declines your equipment loan, we have the program that fits. We give you options.
A real person answers the phone. In about three minutes you'll know if we can help.
Why Minnesota operators choose us
Most municipal 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.

We work with operators across Minnesota's major metros — including Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Rochester, Duluth, St. Cloud, and Mankato.
We routinely close deals at the major Minnesota municipal dealers, including Pierce Manufacturing, E-ONE, Rosenbauer (MN HQ South Dakota — close), Heil Environmental, and Bridgeport Truck — and any other vendor or private seller you choose. Once you're approved with us, you can carry your financing across dealers.

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 Twin Cities private EMS contractor financing 3 used Ford F-450 ambulances 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.

“Trust Alliance Capital helped me get financing for a dump truck when I had a previous bankruptcy on my record. Spencer worked hard to find me a program that fit my situation and got me back on the road. I am very grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.”

How we structure municipal 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 municipal in Minnesota, we probably have a program for that too.
