What does a CVOR have to do with a truck loan?

Nothing to the lender, everything to the operator. If you operate a commercial vehicle in Ontario, you must have a valid CVOR certificate. A truck plated in Ontario needs one when its registered gross weight or actual weight is over 4,500 kg. The programme monitors and evaluates operators' safety records. Get the certificate in order before the truck is delivered, because the lender's payout does not wait for it.

Does the lender care about your credit score?

Less than you would think. All five consider poor credit. What they want is six, twelve or 24 months in business, and $8,333 or $10,000 a month coming in. A fleet with two years of trading gets the widest choice. A new owner-operator with six months and a bank history can still get financed. Our application goes to the lender most likely to approve the amount you enter.

What about the HST?

A GST/HST registrant recovers the tax paid on purchases for its commercial activities by claiming input tax credits. In Ontario that is the 13% HST on the truck, claimed back on the next return, so finance the full price and expect the credit later. BC truck buyers have their own page: truck loans in British Columbia. Business lenders for the province are on the business loans in Ontario page.
