Who finances early
Which new businesses finance equipment early?
Startup programs lean on the owner's credit and the equipment, so the owner's direct number is the one that matters.
Trucking and hauling
Tractors, trailers, box trucks, and tow trucks, often before the first load. Interstate carriers also need FMCSA authority.
Construction and trades
Work trucks, trailers, skid steers, excavators, and tools.
Medical, dental, and vet practices
Imaging, chairs, and exam and lab equipment.
Restaurants
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and POS hardware.
Auto shops, gyms, and salons
Lifts and diagnostic tools, fitness equipment, and salon stations.
Landscaping and cleaning
Mowers, trailers, vans, and floor equipment.

The first call
What to say on the first call
"Hi, is this [name]? This is [your name] with [company]. I saw [business name] just registered with the state, congratulations. Are you buying any trucks or equipment to get started? I help new businesses around [county] finance their first equipment. Is that on your list?"
Lead with what the owner is about to deal with, not with what you sell.
Before you dial, check the calling rules. The TCPA, Do Not Call lists, and Florida's calling hours apply to every industry.
The list
What's on every lead?
- Business name, entity type, and filing date
- The full principal and mailing address from the filing
- Owner or officer name
- The owner's phone number on every delivered lead, with email and website when found
- A category from the business name (contractor, restaurant, salon, trucking, and so on)
Delivered each weekday morning by email, Google Sheets, or CSV, filtered to your county. Holding companies, filing services, and out-of-state entities are removed first.
Straight talk
What these are, and aren't
- They are businesses that just registered in your county, with trucking, construction, medical, and restaurant businesses sorted first if you ask.
- They aren't inbound requests. The owner hasn't asked anyone for help yet. You can be the first call, not the fifth.
- They're public, but rarely called. Anyone can download the state's filings, but the files have no phone numbers and are full of holding companies, so almost no one works them. You get each business the morning after it registers, with the owner's number already found.
Lead sources
How do new-business lists compare to other equipment financing leads?
| Lead source | What you get | Timing | Usually priced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dealer and vendor referrals | Buyers already at a dealership | At the point of purchase | Referral relationships |
| Credit application leads | Owners who applied online, often with several lenders | When they apply | Per lead |
| Purchased business lists | Established businesses with time in business | Years after they started | Per record |
| New-business lists (FiledToday) | Businesses registered in the last few days, with the owner's phone | Days after filing | Flat monthly price per county |
Application leads are shopping several lenders at once. A new-business list reaches owners before they start comparing.
