When a customer wants your equipment but hesitates over the upfront cost, a clear financing option can keep the conversation moving. Lease2Grow’s vendor financing program helps equipment dealers, distributors and manufacturers offer commercial customers a monthly payment path, while your sales team stays focused on the equipment and the sale.

With Lease2Grow, you have a financing contact who works with your customer, prepares the request and approaches suitable lenders through the Affiliated Financial Services (AFS) partner network. You keep the product relationship and control of your equipment quote. Our team coordinates the financing steps.

Explore Lease2Grow’s vendor financing program, or book a vendor conversation with our team to discuss your equipment, customers and sales process.

Why choose Lease2Grow for equipment vendor financing?

A financing question often arrives at a decisive point in the sale. Your customer may see the value of the equipment yet need to preserve cash for payroll, inventory or another project. Lease2Grow gives your team a way to introduce financing while the equipment need and buying conversation are still active.

  • Help customers assess a monthly payment before turning to a price concession. Keep the cash price and complete financing terms available so the buyer can make an informed decision.
  • Explore suitable lenders through the AFS partner network. Different lenders consider different business and equipment profiles; a request that does not fit one lender may fit another.
  • Give your representatives one financing contact to coordinate applications, lender questions and documentation.
  • Discuss financing for a complete equipment project. Eligible freight, installation, software, training and other costs may be included where the lender permits.

Lease2Grow’s Principal and Senior Equipment Financing Advisor, Lee Goren, brings more than 35 years of experience working with businesses and entrepreneurs. He considers the equipment, business circumstances and purchase deadline when helping shape a request. Your team has direct access to an experienced broker and the support of the Lease2Grow team through the transaction.

Build a vendor financing program around the way you sell

Start by telling Lease2Grow what you sell, your typical transaction size and the customers you serve. A dealer selling used construction equipment has a different sales process from a supplier installing commercial kitchen equipment. We use those details to discuss a financing workflow that fits your transactions.

Lease2Grow’s vendor financing program can include co-branded customer intake, sales-team financing training and a consistent process for handing over a quote and buyer details. Discuss which elements suit your business and how your representatives should introduce them. The aim is to make financing a practical part of the sale.

  • Prepare examples of the new or used equipment you sell and a typical itemized quote.
  • Explain your customer profiles, operating locations and usual purchase deadlines.
  • Identify delivery, installation and customer-acceptance requirements.
  • Choose the person on your team who will coordinate with Lease2Grow.

You do not need a completed customer application to begin the program discussion. Bring a typical sales opportunity to the Lease2Grow team and work through how the financing handoff would fit.

How Lease2Grow supports the sale, from quote to funding

Your representative introduces the financing option and provides the equipment quote. The customer then completes the required application through the Lease2Grow online application. Personal and financial documents should go through the designated application process rather than an ordinary sales email thread.

Lease2Grow helps organize the equipment and business information, presents the request to an appropriate lender through the partner network and coordinates follow-up questions. Our team explains the proposed payments and conditions so the customer understands what is being offered and your representative knows the next step.

Lease2Grow targets approval within 24 hours after receiving a complete application and the information needed for review. Complex or specialized transactions can take longer. The lender makes the credit decision; approval and supplier payment are separate stages.

For example, a restaurant supplier may quote an oven, refrigeration and installation together. Lease2Grow can review whether those costs can be considered in one financing request, help the buyer assemble the information and coordinate with the supplier on outstanding requirements. The lender determines the eligible costs and terms for that transaction.

Give customers a payment they can evaluate

A monthly payment helps a buyer relate the purchase to operating cash flow. Ask Lease2Grow to help prepare the financing information your team presents, and identify whether a figure is indicative or a confirmed offer. Include the equipment price, term, payment frequency, upfront cash, fees, applicable taxes and any final purchase amount.

Lease-to-own Equipment Financing can provide a documented path to ownership. The actual payments and purchase conditions belong in the agreement. Lease2Grow can explain the proposed structure, including the end-of-term option and early-payment provisions. Customers should confirm accounting and tax treatment with their own advisers. The Canada Revenue Agency’s leasing-cost guidance provides general tax background.

This gives your sales team a more useful conversation than discussing the equipment price alone: what does the customer need, what cash can they commit and which proposed payments fit the business? Our equipment financing guide provides additional background.

Know when you can deliver and how you will be paid

Lease2Grow coordinates with the vendor and customer as documentation, lender conditions and delivery or acceptance requirements are completed. Before releasing equipment, confirm the remaining conditions and delivery instructions with our team.

Ask for the vendor-payment arrangements for the specific transaction: who pays your business, which documents or confirmations are required and when a payment update will be provided. That coordination helps your sales and operations teams plan the handover. Exact funding and payment timing depends on the completed conditions.
