Your Path to Equipment Financing in 3 Simple Steps
Securing a loan for your farm equipment can be straightforward. Here’s how the process typically works:
Step 1: Assess Your Needs & Budget: Before applying, it’s helpful to identify the specific equipment you need and create a realistic budget. Lenders will want to see that you’ve assessed your cash flow to ensure repayments fit within your seasonal income.
Step 2: Prepare Your Key Documents: To qualify for an equipment loan, you will generally need a few key documents. Gathering these ahead of time speeds up the process. This often includes 2-3 years of income history (like a Schedule C or F), financial statements, and proof of insurance.
Step 3: Complete a Simple Application: Our online application is designed to be fast and seamless. In many cases a simple application is all that’s needed to get a credit decision within hours.

Landscaping Equipment Financing FAQs
What types of landscaping equipment can I finance?
Finance Scope offers financing for a wide range of landscaping machines. This includes skid steer loaders, excavators, mulchers, mowers, stump grinders, compact track loaders, backhoe loaders, telehandlers, and wood chippers. If your equipment isn’t listed, contact us to explore custom options.
Can I finance both new and used landscaping equipment?
Yes, financing is available for both new and pre-owned landscaping equipment. Whether you need the latest models or cost-effective used machines, we’ll structure the right loan or lease to fit your operation.
How quickly can landscaping financing be approved?
Our streamlined credit process allows for fast approvals, often within 24–48 hours. This ensures you can move forward on projects without unnecessary delays.
Do you work with seasonal landscaping businesses?
Yes. We understand landscaping is seasonal, so financing plans can include flexible or seasonal payment schedules to reduce strain during slower months.

Yes, leasing is an option alongside traditional loans. Leasing helps lower upfront costs, preserve working capital, and provides flexibility if you plan to upgrade equipment frequently.
Do you finance landscaping attachments and parts?

What credit requirements do I need for landscaping financing?
We work with a wide range of credit profiles. While strong credit may qualify for the best terms, many contractors with less-than-perfect credit still secure financing through Finance Scope.
Can financing be customized for small landscaping contractors?
Yes. Whether you’re a large landscaping firm or a small contractor, financing can be tailored to your budget, cash flow, and specific equipment needs.
Do you offer financing for landscaping logistics and transportation?
Yes. Finance Scope provides financing for transport solutions such as trailers and trucks, helping move landscaping equipment efficiently between job sites. Learn more about equipment transportation financing.
Are there tax benefits to financing landscaping equipment?
