How Referral Links and Applications Work

Referral and application disclosure

Some links on this site may lead to an application form, embedded tool, or third-party destination. A click only opens the destination. It is not an application decision, offer, approval, endorsement, or confirmation that a product fits the shop's project.

Verify the destination

Before entering information, confirm the destination domain, the business receiving the information, its privacy notice, and how it describes its role. Do not continue if the page identity is unclear, the connection is insecure, or the terms are unavailable. Keep a copy of the disclosures and any document you submit.

Understand the site's role

Educational pages explain equipment-project scope, documentation, official program categories, and contract questions. They do not make credit decisions and cannot predict the result of a submission. A third party may apply its own eligibility, verification, underwriting, security, and documentation rules.

Compare written terms

If a provider responds, review the complete written agreement. Record cash due, scheduled payments, disclosed fees, security, guarantee language, prepayment treatment, default provisions, and the end-of-term result. Ask written questions about unclear terms and do not rely on a phone summary.

Protect business information

Share only the information required for a legitimate process. Use a trusted device and network, verify contact details independently, and avoid sending sensitive documents through an unexpected message. Monitor business accounts and retain submission records.

Submitting information does not guarantee an offer or outcome. Start with Auto Repair Shop Financing to define the project, or review the Equipment Financing Application Checklist before using an application path.
