THE CLIENT

We all want to work smarter, not harder. Case in point: The owner of a plumbing company in Illinois looking to purchase a Defender trailer unit, a piece of equipment capable of doing two jobs. This combination jetter and plumbing unit was exactly what the business owner needed, as it was cost-effective and practical for use in the city.

The plumbing company had been in business since 1999, handled both commercial and residential plumbing jobs and had a great track record, but they needed financing fast to purchase the unit.  

THE CLIENT’S CHALLENGE

The client wanted to purchase the Defender trailer unit because this one piece of equipment did the job of two. The company would be able to use it onsite to complete jobs where a jetter was required, as well as a pump for jobs that involved things like septic systems and grease traps.

However they needed financing fast to meet the vendor’s end-of-year deadline, as well as to take advantage of year-end tax breaks, a challenge during the busy holiday season.

THE APEX COMMERCIAL CAPITAL SOLUTION

$90,000 • Defender trailer unit • Quick close

Fortunately, the client was working with a vendor that has a great equipment financing arrangement with Apex Commercial Capital. We were able to fund the deal in about 24 hours and deliver the unit on the same day as funding.

The customer had planned to pay cash for the unit, but changed their mind when they learned about our equipment finance options, keeping capital in their pocket while obtaining the equipment they needed. And, navigating the city with just one trailer instead of two makes the jobs even easier.

FINAL RESULTS

Working with Apex Commercial Capital, the client purchased the unit they needed in the necessary time frame. Now, the business has a piece of equipment that can handle multiple jobs, saving them money and making their jobs simpler.
