Food Truck Financing Amount, Rates & Terms

Loan amounts vary depending on the price of the truck or trailer, your credit score, and the size of your down payment. In most cases, you'll need to put down 10% to 30% of the total cost, with older units potentially requiring more. If you're applying for a trailer priced at $30,000 or less, you may still qualify even with a lower credit score through one of our partner lenders.

Interest rates depend on several factors, including credit history and time in business. Rates generally start around 5.9% for established businesses and can go up to 18% for newer startups. If your application is declined by one lender, we may refer you to another financing option, which could involve different terms or additional fees.

Repayment terms typically range from 2 to 5 years, and there’s usually no early payoff penalty after the first year, giving you flexibility if you want to pay off your loan ahead of schedule.
