About Avanti
Equipment financing with guidance from application to funding.
Avanti Equipment Finance helps business owners finance new and used equipment. We guide you through the application, explain your options, and coordinate funding for tow trucks, construction equipment, dump and vocational trucks, and trailers.
Built on a decade in the industry
You get ten-plus years of commercial equipment finance experience on your file: someone who knows a rollback from a rotator, knows why a startup owner-operator is a good bet, and helps you evaluate financing options for how your business earns. When you call, you reach the person handling your deal, not a call center.
Who you're working with
Brent Christiansen
Founder
Brent Christiansen founded Avanti Equipment Finance in January 2026 after more than a decade in commercial equipment financing, most of it spent on the trucks and machines that small businesses actually run: tow trucks, construction and yellow-iron equipment, dump and vocational trucks, and trailers.
He built the company around the file that most lenders pass on, from the used rollback and the first machine for a startup to the private-party purchase and the owner with a rough credit stretch, and around a straight answer before anyone puts a deposit down.
Avanti is based in New Hampshire and works with businesses in nearly every state. Brent and Kate Sislane, Avanti's account coordinator, work every file together from the first question to funding.
Kate Sislane
Account Coordinator
Kate joined Avanti in October 2026 as account coordinator, and she's often the first person you'll talk to when you call.
She keeps your file moving from application to funding: gathering the documents your lending partner needs, answering questions about where things stand, and working with your dealer or seller to get the paperwork in.

Who is Avanti Equipment Finance?
Avanti Equipment Finance is a New Hampshire-based commercial equipment financing company founded in January 2026 by Brent Christiansen, who spent more than a decade in equipment financing before starting it. We help business owners finance tow trucks, construction and yellow-iron equipment, dump and vocational trucks, and trailers, new or used, from dealers or private sellers, for businesses in nearly every U.S. state, across every credit profile, with decisions in as little as 24 hours.
What equipment does Avanti finance?
Tow trucks (rollbacks, wreckers, rotators), construction and yellow-iron equipment, dump and vocational trucks, and trailers: new, used, or higher-mileage, from a dealer or a private seller. Amounts typically run $20,000 to $500,000+, with terms up to 72 months.
What credit profiles does Avanti work with?
The full spectrum: A-paper through challenged credit, past (discharged) bankruptcy, and startups. Lower scores typically require a down payment and 2017-or-newer equipment, and you'll know the exact expectation before you sign anything.
How fast can I get financed?
Decisions can come in as little as 24 hours from a 3-minute application, with funding typically a few days after signing. The entire process is remote: pre-qualify, apply, e-sign, and we coordinate payment to the dealer or seller.
Do you finance private-party purchases?
Yes. We finance private-seller purchases with the same terms as a dealer purchase, something most lenders won't do, and handle the payoff and title logistics as part of funding.
What states does Avanti serve?
Nearly every U.S. state, 49 of them today. We're based in New Hampshire and help businesses in the states we serve secure financing remotely, so your location is rarely a barrier.
