Commercial vehicle financing is asset-backed funding for road-going vehicles used in a business, distinct from personal auto loans because the vehicle is a revenue tool. It covers single units or small numbers of vehicles for owner-operators, contractors, and service companies. The vehicle itself secures the financing, and its age and mileage influence the terms.
