Excavator financing for Montana operators.

A real person answers the phone. In about three minutes you'll know if we can help.
Why Montana operators choose us
Most excavator buyers in Montana 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 Montana excavator financing
- Montana oilfield pad construction and well-site prep drive year-round excavator demand — pipeline right-of-way, tank battery pads, saltwater disposal wells
- Montana mountain-corridor rock work, road cuts, and mountain-town water/sewer projects require heavy-tracked excavators with breakers and thumbs
- Montana surface mining and reclamation work drive heavy excavator demand — production digging, overburden removal, coal reclamation
We work with operators across Montana's major metros — including Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, and Butte.

Who we fund in Montana
- 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 Montana.
What this looks like in practice
A Billings-area contractor financing a used CAT 320 for oilfield pad prep 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.

★★★★★
“I worked with Camron Hanna on a financing deal that wasn't easy at all. The amount was high and the approval process was complicated, but he still got it done. I've dealt with other brokers before, and honestly none of them handled things the way he did. Camron stayed on top of everything from start to finish. He explained each step clearly, answered every call and text, and made sure the deal didn't fall apart even when things got tricky. He pushed the process forward and got me an approval. The whole team at Trust Alliance Capital is solid. They're organized, responsive, and you can tell they know what they're doing. It's rare to find a company that actually takes the time to help, especially with bigger and more challenging files. I highly recommend working with them.”

“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.”
