Sell More Tree Care Equipment with Financing Built for Every Job on the Schedule.
From brush chippers and stump grinders to bucket trucks, tracked lifts, compact loaders and knuckleboom cranes, FPG helps your sales team put a monthly payment in front of tree care companies before price stalls the deal.
Tree service companies win work on how fast and safely they can get it done. Financing gives them a way to add the chipper, lift or crane that takes on bigger removals while keeping cash available for payroll, fuel and insurance.

Financing that keeps pace with equipment-driven businesses
When a tree care company adds a crew, replaces a worn chipper or takes on larger removals, your team needs a financing partner that is available and ready to help.
The Tree Care & Arborist Equipment Seller Perspective
Your customer wants to take on bigger jobs and finish them faster.
For a tree care company, equipment decides which jobs they can bid and how many they can finish in a day. A bigger chipper, a tracked lift that reaches backyard removals or a crane that cuts climbing time can change what a company can take on, but a crew outfit is a large purchase for an owner-run business.
That makes financing a practical sales tool, not just a response when price becomes a problem.
Take on bigger removals
Help customers add the lift, crane or grapple saw that opens larger and more technical jobs.
Outfit a new crew
Give buyers a way to put a truck, chipper and stump grinder on the road for a second or third crew without waiting on cash reserves.
Preserve business cash
Help customers keep capital available for payroll, fuel, insurance and slower winter months.
Finance the whole crew setup
Finance a truck, chipper, stump grinder and loader together so a crew package is not split across several deals.
Equipment We Finance
Built around the equipment tree care crews put to work every day

Stump GrindersWalk-behind, self-propelled, towable and tracked stump grinders for residential and commercial work.
Bucket Trucks & Aerial LiftsBucket trucks, forestry aerial lifts and truck-mounted lifts for trimming and removals.
Tracked & Spider LiftsTracked and spider lifts that reach backyard and tight-access trees without damaging lawns.

Compact Loaders & Log HandlersMini skid steers, compact track loaders and log loaders for moving wood and debris.
Chip Trucks & Dump BodiesChip trucks, chip bodies, dump trucks and log trucks for hauling wood and chips.
Attachments & Used EquipmentGrapples, log splitters, climbing and rigging gear and qualifying used tree care equipment.
Selling a truck and chipper package, a crane for larger removals or equipment for a company adding a new crew? FPG can structure financing around the whole order rather than one unit at a time.

People who understand the equipment and the sale
Tree care deals are not generic business financing. Equipment runs hard, buyers are often owner-run companies growing faster than their balance sheets, and a single order can mix trucks, chippers, lifts and attachments. FPG’s team works with sellers and buyers to structure the transaction around the equipment and the work it will do.
More than capital. A true partnership.

Tree Care & Arborist Equipment Financing FAQ
Questions equipment sellers ask
Why should our sales team introduce financing before a customer objects to price?
Presenting a monthly payment with the quote lets the customer weigh the equipment against the jobs it can win before the total price becomes the main obstacle.
Can a full crew setup be financed together?
Yes. A truck, chipper, stump grinder, loader and attachments can be financed together under a single transaction.
Can payments account for slower winter months?
Often, yes. Seasonal, step and deferred structures can align payments with busier periods. Availability depends on the transaction and credit approval.
Do you finance cranes and grapple saw trucks?
Yes. Knuckleboom cranes, grapple saw trucks and other high-dollar removal equipment can be financed, subject to credit approval.
Do you finance used tree care equipment?
Yes. FPG finances new and qualifying used equipment. Age, hours, condition and resale value typically affect the term rather than eligibility.
How fast are decisions?
Most credit decisions come back in two to four hours. Larger packages, unusual structures or more complex credit situations can require additional review.
What happens when a deal does not fit FPG’s direct-lending box?
FPG also works with 25+ strategic funding partners. That gives the team additional ways to structure qualifying transactions without forcing the seller to manage separate lender relationships.
When does the seller get paid?
FPG funds your company in full on delivery and acceptance. The purchaser pays FPG based on the agreed terms. You receive payment, and FPG manages the financing from there.
