Toyota Business Solutions vehicle credit line FAQs
What is a Toyota Business Solutions Vehicle Credit Line?
Toyota Business Solutions by Toyota Financial Services (TFS) allows qualifying companies that open a minimum of $100,000 credit line or vehicle credit line (VCL) towards purchasing new Toyota vehicles. This can really come in handy, for example, when buying a new Toyota Sienna minivan for your flower delivery business or a new Toyota Tundra for your construction business, or whatever your Toyota vehicle needs may be.
Once approved by Toyota Financial Services (now through January 5, 2013) you can apply your VCL towards the purchase or lease of a new Toyota car, truck, van, or SUV. Business that qualify can then apply the rebate towards the down payment of a Toyota vehicle purchase (on a retail and/or preferred option contract) or use the rebate towards to the Capitalized Cost Reduction of the new Toyota lease.
How can my business get the $100,000 vehicle credit line?
Pending approved credit, the VCL can be received and applied to select new Toyota's by meeting the following requirements are met:
- Meet the criteria to be a Toyota Financial Services Business Solutions customer including acceptable credit (fill out the TBS contact form for details)
- Qualified businesses must open a minimum vehicle credit line of $100,000 with Toyota Financial Services
- Finance a new, untitled Toyota car, truck, SUV, or minivan within the program period date as above
Once my business is approved, how long does the VCL last?
At Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT, we are thrilled to have your repeat business - both in terms of retail customers and business customers alike, which is why we offer this great program. Since this is a lengthy approval process it actually does tend to take longer to get approved than a non-business consumer purchasing or leasing one new Toyota vehicle, approved businesses that qualify for a Toyota Business Solutions Vehicle Credit Line get to keep that VCL open for twelve (12) months from the initial date of acceptance, greatly reducing the length of the Toyota vehicle purchase or leasing process for your business' future new Toyota vehicle needs.
