A second look at Canadian Equipment Finance

Canadian Equipment Finance combines its own capital with outside funding partners for Canadian equipment transactions. The published range describes the platform’s total capacity, not exclusively its direct lending.

CEF says it deploys balance-sheet capital and works with more than 30 funding partners. It is a lender and arranger; confirm the lender selected for the proposal.

When it may fit

Our assessment of the published programs

  • Useful when a Canadian equipment transaction needs several possible structures or funding sources.

What to weigh carefully

  • Platform figures are not a commitment that CEF itself will fund the full amount.
  • A conditional approval is distinct from completed financing; fees and guarantees vary by funding source.

Questions before you accept an offer

  1. Will CEF or a partner be the lender of record?
  2. What arranger fees and assignment rights apply?
  3. How are residual value, early payoff and seasonal interest calculated?

Ask for written terms. Compare net cash received, total repayment, fees, payment timing and early-payoff costs for the same financing need.

Prepare your comparison

Use the same questions and figures for each offer you receive.
