Business Auto | Consumer-Style FAQs
▸ 1. How do I apply for a business loan?
You’ll work directly with a member of our Business Express Services team, who will guide you through the process and answer any questions along the way. Reach out to us at 800-447-7228 to get started.
▸ 2. What is the difference between a business auto loan and a personal auto loan?
Choosing business over personal allows you to purchase or refinance a vehicle under your business rather than your personal finances. This separation can make tax reporting, expense tracking, and day‑to‑day financial management easier.2
Because tax and accounting considerations vary by business, we recommend speaking with your CPA or accountant to understand how a business auto loan may support your financial goals. When you're ready, our team is here to help you every step of the way.
▸ 3. How long do I need to be in business to qualify for a business auto loan for consumer‑style vehicles?
There’s no minimum time in business required to apply for a business auto loan for consumer-style vehicles.
▸ 4. How long does it take to get approved for a business auto loan for consumer‑style vehicles?
In many cases, credit decisions may be made the same business day after a complete application is received; timing varies based on loan complexity and documentation.
▸ 5. What’s the application process look like for business auto loans?
Here’s what to expect:
- You’ll work one‑on‑one with a Business Services Specialist to choose the loan amount and terms that are tailored to your budget and timeline.
- A personal guarantee is required, which includes a hard inquiry on your personal credit.
- If approved, you'll make predictable monthly payments of principal and interest.
- You can manage your loan anytime through Online Banking, where you can view balances, activity, and make payments—so you always know where your business stands.
