The Hidden Goldmine of Equipment Financing

Equipment financing sits inside a $1T+ equipment finance and commercial lending market most people never think about—yet nearly every truck, machine, and piece of revenue-producing equipment has to be financed by someone. While everyone's chasing crypto, flipping houses, or launching the next "agency," a quiet group of equipment finance brokers is making real money helping businesses get the equipment they need to operate and grow.

As a broker, you're the matchmaker between businesses that need equipment — trucks, excavators, printing presses, medical devices, manufacturing machinery, restaurants, you name it — and the lenders who can say yes when banks say no.

On many deals, brokers earn 2–10% of the funded amount in commission:

  • A $50,000 deal might put $2,000–$5,000 in your pocket.
  • A $100,000 deal can mean $4,000–$10,000+.
  • Larger "story credit" or specialized equipment deals can go well into five figures per transaction.

You don't need dozens of closings a month. Just a few solid funded deals can put you firmly in six-figure territory over a year — and many brokers do it with nothing more than a laptop, a phone, and the right lender relationships.

What Equipment Finance Originators Actually Earn (Real Survey Data)

According to Wheeler Business Consulting's 9th Annual Equipment Finance Compensation and Production Survey (reported by deBanked in January 2025), this isn't just theory:

  • 50% of surveyed equipment finance originators earned more than $200,000 in total compensation last year.
  • Nearly half of that group reported over $300,000.
  • The sample included originators from banks, independent finance and leasing companies, and broker/syndication shops.

In other words, six-figure income in equipment finance isn't some unicorn outcome — it's common for experienced producers who consistently originate and close deals.

Banks are saying no to small businesses — but they still need equipment.

Alternative lenders are hungry for well-qualified deals.

Brokers who can connect the two are in demand.

What You Actually Need to Get Started

  • A phone and internet connection
  • Basic communication skills (we show you exactly what to say)
  • A short list of go-to lenders (we give you this inside the program)

Early Broker Wins from Real GWPCO Students

These are real GWPCO students. Their results are not typical, and your outcomes will depend on your effort, experience, and the deals you work.

"I went from knowing nothing about equipment finance to having real deals in my pipeline in under 60 days. I closed my first funded deal in Month 2 and made more on that one commission than I used to make in a month at my old job."

— Patrick M., Former construction foreman turned equipment finance broker

"The lender list and scripts alone saved me months of trial and error. Instead of guessing where to send files, I had a clear plan. Within a few weeks I had vendors sending me their tough deals and my first real pipeline."

— Alicia R., New broker who started part-time next to a W-2

Schedule Your Discovery Call

Here's Exactly What You Get Inside the GWPCO Box

This isn't "watch some videos and good luck." It's the site, templates, lender intel, Zoom support, and step-by-step plan you need to start working real equipment finance deals in the next 60–90 days.

Done-for-You GWPCO Broker Website

A professional broker site built for credibility and lead capture: clean, mobile-first design so you look legit on a phone or a laptop; clear services, 'about,' and contact sections tailored to equipment finance; built-in lead/contact form so vendors and borrowers can reach you easily. You get the core GWPCO template; we help you plug in your name, logo, markets, and contact info so you can be live in days, not months. Result: when vendors or borrowers look you up, you look like a real broker on Day 1, not a side-hustle experiment.

Lender Rolodex & 'Who Funds What' Cheatsheet

You don't start with a blank page or random Google searches. 15–30 active equipment lenders and funding partners we actually see doing deals. A simple 'who funds what' routing guide so you know which lenders like startups vs. established businesses, who's good with trucks, yellow iron, med/beauty, printers, etc., and which credit profiles fit where (A–D paper). Result: instead of burning your first few deals guessing where to send them, you have a clear starting bench of lenders and know which ones like your file.

Deal Intake & Submission Toolkit

We give you the basic 'broker desk' tools so you don't look new on day one: borrower application template, credit authorization language, bank statement request templates, and a simple checklist of what every lender will want to see (and in what order). Result: you collect what's needed the first time so your submissions don't look like a rookie threw them together.

Vendor & Borrower Outreach Scripts

You don't have to figure out what to say from scratch. Vendor scripts to introduce yourself as a financing resource and get them sending you deals. Borrower scripts (phone, email, and text) to talk to small business owners without sounding pushy or clueless. Follow-up lines to keep conversations moving without being annoying. Result: you're having real conversations in Week 1–2 instead of spending weeks overthinking what to say.

Deal Structuring Playbook

This is the cheat code most new brokers wish they had. Guides for which lenders to consider for which credit profiles; how to set realistic expectations on rate, term, and down payment; common deal killers and how to avoid blowing up a good file; basic payment math examples so you can talk numbers confidently. Result: you sound like you've been around deals before, even if this is your first month.

60–90 Day Launch Battle Plan

No guessing what to do each day. Week-by-week checklist covering what to set up in Weeks 1–2 (site, email, lenders, tools); daily and weekly outreach targets (how many vendors and borrowers to contact); when to follow up, when to move on, and how to track your pipeline; clear 'win conditions' for the first 30, 60, and 90 days. Result: you always know what to do next to create conversations, applications, and pipeline.

Pipeline & 'Light' CRM Setup

You don't need fancy software to start. A simple pipeline framework you can run in Trello, Notion, Google Sheets, or your CRM of choice. Stages like: New Lead → Contacted → App/Docs Out → Submitted to Lender → Approved / Working Terms → Docs Out → Funded. Result: you always know where deals stand and what to do next, without needing an expensive CRM on day one.

Live GWPCO Zoom Calls & Support

You're not left alone with a login and a prayer. Core program includes: Twice-weekly GWPCO group Zoom calls for your first 8 weeks; live deal review (bring real scenarios and questions); outreach feedback (scripts, positioning, 'what do I say next?'); open Q&A so you can keep moving instead of getting stuck. All-In program includes everything in Core, plus: Extended access to the twice-weekly GWPCO group Zoom calls (beyond the initial 8 weeks); a private onboarding call where we go over your background, niche focus, lender list, and a custom launch plan for the next 60–90 days. Result: you have someone on the lender side in your corner while you get your bearings.

What Your Next 60–90 Days Can Look Like

By Day 7

  • Your GWPCO-branded broker website and professional email are live
  • You have your lender Rolodex and basic tools ready
  • You've messaged a few vendors and contacts to let them know what you're doing

By Day 30

  • You've started regular outreach to vendors and business owners using the scripts

I can't promise income, but I can give you the exact GWPCO system I use to get equipment finance deals funded.

What Your Week Actually Looks Like

Most new brokers can run this in 7–10 focused hours per week around a job or business.

  • 1–2 hours: reviewing training modules, playbooks, and real deal examples
  • 3–5 hours: vendor and borrower outreach using the scripts (calls, DMs, follow-ups)
  • ~1 hour: live GWPCO Zoom call for deal review, outreach feedback, and Q&A

I'm accepting a limited number of brokers at this pricing so I can stay hands-on with everyone's launch and early deals. Once those seats are filled, enrollment closes or the price may go up.

How This Can Pay for Itself

In many niches, one funded equipment deal can generate $1,500–$10,000+ in commission, depending on the deal size and lender structure. Two or three solid funded deals can more than cover your enrollment. I can't promise income, but I can give you the exact GWPCO system I use to get equipment finance deals funded.

Action-Based Support Promise

If you launch your site, follow the 60–90 day battle plan, and still aren't seeing real deal opportunities in your pipeline, I'll personally review your outreach, positioning, and lender strategy and help you adjust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior finance or lending experience?

No. You don't need a banking or finance background to start. What helps most is basic people skills and the willingness to follow a process. We'll teach you the fundamentals of equipment finance, how deals are structured, how to talk to vendors and borrowers, and give you scripts and tools so you're not starting from a blank page.

Do I need a license to be an equipment finance broker?

Most equipment finance brokers in the U.S. do not fall under the same licensing requirements as, for example, residential mortgage loan officers. That said, we are not your attorney or compliance department. We encourage you to check any state-specific requirements and regulations where you plan to operate. Inside the program we include a module on compliance basics and what to research, but you are responsible for following local laws and regulations.

Is this only for people in the United States?

The lender list and deal structures in GWPCO Broker-in-a-Box™ are built for the U.S. equipment finance market. If you are outside the U.S., you can still learn the framework and scripts, but you'll need to source local lenders and verify any regional licensing or regulatory requirements on your own.

Do you give me leads or set appointments for me?

No. We don't sell leads or set appointments for you. Instead, we give you the strategies, scripts, and tools to build your own relationships with vendors and small business owners so you're not dependent on purchased leads or someone else's marketing.

Can I do this part-time around my job?

Yes. Many people start equipment finance brokering as a second income stream around a full-time job or existing business. The program is designed around 7–10 focused hours per week: a mix of learning, outreach, and deal work. Over time, as your pipeline and income grow, you can decide whether to keep it as a second income stream or grow it into your main focus.

How quickly can I close my first deal?

We can't promise specific income or results. That said, if you follow the battle plan and put in 7–10 focused hours per week, it's realistic to have real opportunities in your pipeline within 60–90 days and a shot at your first funded deal in that window. Your outcomes will depend on your effort, follow-through, and the quality of conversations you create.

How long do I have access to the material and calls?

You get ongoing access to the core training modules, templates, and playbooks for as long as the program is offered. Core includes twice-weekly group Zoom calls for your first 8 weeks. The All-In bundle includes everything in Core plus extended access to the twice-weekly group calls (beyond the initial 8 weeks) and a private onboarding call to customize your launch plan.

What's the refund policy?

Because you get immediate access to digital training, proprietary templates, and live group call spots, all sales are final and non-refundable. If you're not sure whether this is a fit, the best next step is to schedule a discovery call so we can walk through your situation and help you make a clear decision before you enroll.
