Can I use equipment I already own as collateral to finance more?
Yes. Avanti offers collateral-based equipment financing: pledge equipment you already own as additional collateral to lower the down payment on new equipment, or pull working capital out of gear that's paid off. It's a common way to strengthen a challenged-credit deal, and every credit profile is considered, with decisions in as little as 24 hours.
Why finance with Avanti
That paid-off wrecker sitting in your yard? It can be your down payment. Pledge owned, titled equipment as additional collateral to shrink or cover the cash you bring to closing, or pull working capital out of what's already paid off. Collateral doesn't replace credit, but it strengthens a deal: better terms, less cash at closing, and a real path to yes for challenged-credit and newer-business files. You'll get a straight answer on exactly what your equipment adds to the deal.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use equipment I already own to lower my down payment?
Yes. When a down payment is required, you can pledge owned, titled equipment as additional collateral to reduce or even cover it. The equipment is valued conservatively, and the stronger the collateral, the less cash you typically bring to closing.
Can I pull cash out of equipment I already own?
Yes. If you have equipment that's paid off or carries equity, we can structure financing against it to put working capital back in your business, for fuel, payroll, repairs, or the next opportunity.
Does collateral mean I'm guaranteed approval?
No. Collateral strengthens a deal and can improve your terms, but credit and revenue still matter. It's a lever that helps a file get to yes, especially on challenged credit or a newer business, not a replacement for them.
What kind of equipment can I pledge as collateral?
Owned, titled equipment generally works best: trucks, trailers, and machines with a clear value and title. The equipment you're financing serves as collateral on its own; pledging additional owned equipment is what lowers the down payment or unlocks cash out.
How fast can I get a decision?
Decisions come in as little as 24 hours on a short application. We review your credit to pre-qualify and tell you what your equipment adds to the deal.
