Cash-flow pressures towing and roadside companies often face

Trucks, wreckers and insurance are expensive, while payments from insurers and motor clubs can take weeks.

Demand spikes in winter weather, which means more fuel, overtime and repairs up front.

A single equipment failure can sideline revenue.

What owners use financing for

  • Cover fuel and wages while motor club and insurer invoices are pending
  • Repair or replace a truck component
  • Pay insurance and licensing
  • Handle slower months

What lenders usually look at

  • Bank deposits and seasonality
  • Receivables from insurers and clubs
  • Time in business

Each lender sets its own requirements. Typical working capital programs also look for at least 6 months in business, regular deposits into a Canadian business bank account and roughly $10,000 or more in monthly revenue.

A hypothetical example

A hypothetical towing operator waits about 45 days on a motor club account while wreckers need repairs. The owner reviews working capital options to cover the gap.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not a client story or a promise of results. Approval, amounts, terms and timing are decided by each lender and depend on your own numbers.

We show you total repayment in dollars. Short-term working capital is usually faster and easier to qualify for than a bank loan, and usually costs more. You compare the options before you decide, and nothing goes ahead without your approval.

    How lenders read the financials of a towing or roadside assistance company

    Where the work comes from

    Calls often come from motor clubs, insurers, fleets and rotation lists, which pay on set terms that can run 30 to 60 days. Lenders want to see how much of your volume comes from each source.

    Trucks and equipment

    Wreckers, flatbeds and service trucks are expensive to buy and maintain. Show your unit list with balances owing and the age and condition of each truck.

    Coverage and storage

    Towing needs specialised insurance such as on-hook and garage coverage, and some operators earn storage fees from a yard. Lenders will ask about both.

    Weather and call volume

    Winter weather and holiday periods can spike calls, while quiet stretches still carry payroll and truck payments. A year of deposits shows the pattern.

    Financing options to look at

    Which option fits depends on your history, your customers and how quickly you need funds. Each lender sets its own requirements and makes its own credit decision.

    What to have ready before a review

    Xito is not a lender. We explain which options may fit, show the total cost of each and introduce you to independent lenders.

    Common questions from towing and roadside companies

    Are insurer and motor club receivables considered by lenders?

    They may be reviewed as part of the picture. Each lender decides how to treat them.

    Does Xito lend money?

    No. Xito is not a lender. We review your situation and introduce you to independent lenders and funding providers. The lender makes the credit decision and sets the terms.

    What will financing cost?

    It varies by lender, amount and term. Short-term working capital is usually more expensive than a bank loan, so we show you the total repayment in dollars for each option before you decide.

    How long does it take?

    Timing depends on the lender, how quickly you send a complete file and approval. Smaller requests can move faster than larger ones. Timing is never guaranteed.

    What do I need to apply?

    Lenders commonly ask for recent business bank statements, owner identification and a void cheque. Larger requests may need financial statements, receivables aging and CRA balances. Each lender sets its own requirements.
