Business Term Loans: Fixed interest rate term loans with up to 10-year repayment terms. These are not SBA loans, which means faster approval and less paperwork. Phoenix, Mesa, and Tucson businesses use these for expansion, working capital, debt consolidation, and more.

Business Lines of Credit: Revolving credit lines from $1,000 to $500,000 or more with no collateral required. Terms up to 36 months with low interest rates give Arizona businesses flexible access to capital when they need it most.

Step 3: Get Paid

When the businesses you refer are approved and funded, you earn commissions. There is no limit on the total referral fees you can earn. You earn on loans funded directly and through our financing marketplace. You also earn on marketplace renewal financings when your referred clients return for additional funding.

Additionally, you can earn by referring other partners to the program. As your network of sub-brokers grows, so does your income potential. This creates a compounding income stream that grows over time.

Why Equipment Lease Brokers Are in High Demand

The Arizona Equipment Financing Market

Arizona's economy is booming, and businesses across the state need equipment to keep up with growth. Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the country. Mesa's construction and healthcare sectors are expanding rapidly. Tucson's mining, technology, and aerospace industries require constant equipment upgrades.

Every construction company that needs an excavator, every medical practice purchasing diagnostic equipment, every restaurant upgrading kitchen systems, and every manufacturer adding production capacity represents a potential client for you as an equipment lease broker.

The total addressable market for equipment financing in Arizona alone exceeds $15 billion annually. As a broker, even capturing a tiny fraction of that market translates to significant income.

Businesses Prefer Working with Brokers

Most business owners in Mesa, Phoenix, and Tucson do not have time to shop multiple lenders, compare programs, and navigate complex financing applications. They want a trusted advisor who understands their needs and can match them with the right financing solution quickly.

That is exactly what an equipment lease broker provides. You simplify the process, save business owners time, and help them secure better terms than they might find on their own. This makes you invaluable to your clients and creates lasting business relationships.

Who Makes a Great Equipment Lease Broker?

The beauty of this opportunity is that people from many different backgrounds can excel as equipment lease brokers. You do not need a finance degree or prior lending experience. What matters most is your ability to build relationships and connect with business owners.

Financial Professionals: CPAs, bookkeepers, and financial advisors already work with business owners who need equipment financing. Adding broker services to your existing practice creates a new revenue stream from your current client base.

Business Consultants: If you advise businesses on growth strategy, operations, or management, equipment financing referrals are a natural extension of your services.

Real Estate Professionals: Realtors and commercial property agents often work with business owners who need equipment for new locations. Offering financing solutions adds value to your real estate transactions.

Sales Professionals: Equipment vendors, technology salespeople, and B2B sales professionals interact daily with businesses that need financing. Becoming a broker lets you facilitate the entire transaction.

Entrepreneurs and Side Hustlers: Anyone with a network of business contacts in Mesa, Phoenix, Tucson, or anywhere in Arizona can generate income as an equipment lease broker. It is an ideal side business that can grow into a full-time career.

Income Potential as an Equipment Lease Broker

Commission Structure

Equipment lease brokers earn commissions on every funded transaction. Commission amounts vary based on the size and type of financing, but they can be substantial. A single equipment financing transaction of $100,000 can generate a commission of $1,000 to $5,000 or more.

Consider the math: if you close just two equipment financing deals per month averaging $150,000 each, your annual commission income could range from $48,000 to $120,000. Top-performing brokers in the Mesa, Phoenix, and Tucson markets earn well into six figures annually.

Recurring Revenue Streams

Unlike many commission-based businesses, equipment lease brokering offers multiple recurring income opportunities. Businesses regularly need additional equipment as they grow. Your existing clients become repeat customers over time.

You also earn on renewal financings when clients in your portfolio refinance or upgrade equipment. And referring other partners to the program creates an additional passive income stream as their referred deals generate commissions for you as well.

Scalable Business Model

Start as a solo broker working part-time from your home in Mesa, Phoenix, or Tucson. As your client base and income grow, you can scale by building a team of sub-brokers, expanding into new geographic markets, or specializing in high-value industries like construction, healthcare, or manufacturing.
