FAQ

Common questions

Straight answers to what Fontana owners ask most, from a local broker.

Start by sharing your monthly revenue, time in operation, and what you need the funds for. UnderHill Credit reviews your situation as a broker, then matches you with lenders who specialize in mobile food businesses without charging you a fee for the introduction.

Typical food truck financing in Fontana ranges from $25,000 to $150,000 depending on whether you're buying a turnkey unit, wrapping and branding, or upgrading kitchen equipment. Larger amounts apply when purchasing new trucks outright rather than retrofitting used vehicles.

Many food truck owners receive approval within 48 hours and funding in three to seven business days. Speed depends on how quickly you provide bank statements and whether the truck title or equipment serves as collateral, which simplifies underwriting for lenders.

Credit scores above 600 open more options, but lenders focus heavily on your daily sales volume and consistency. Fontana vendors with lower scores but strong event bookings and repeat corporate catering clients still secure financing through revenue-based programs we broker.

Collateral usually includes the food truck itself or kitchen equipment you're financing. Some lenders also accept a blanket lien on business assets, and strong revenue may reduce collateral requirements, especially for working capital or smaller equipment purchases rather than full truck acquisitions.

Expect to provide three to six months of bank statements, a driver's license, and proof of current permits or health department clearances. If purchasing a truck, lenders want the VIN, seller details, and photos; if refinancing or upgrading, they'll ask for invoices on the new equipment.
