Why Montana operators choose us
Most mini 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.

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 oilfield utility contractor financing a Kubota KX080 mini excavator for fiber trenching and cable pull 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.

★★★★★
“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.”
— Andy · Construction Contractor · worked with Spencer
★★★★★
“Words can't express how grateful I am for getting linked with Spencer from Trust Alliance Capital. The moment we spoke I knew he was gonna be the right fit for what I needed. He gave me several options to choose from and was very knowledgeable about each one. I was very appreciative that he was honest and straightforward with me and always responded back quickly. Once we agreed on which option to take, it didn't take him long to seal the deal. If any of my friends or others are looking to get financed and start up their business I will surely point them in his direction. Thanks Spencer for your patience and due diligence — you'll always have a customer in me.”
