How to Make Money as an Equipment Finance Broker (Without Quitting Your Job)

If you want to make money as an equipment finance broker, even while working a full-time job, this post breaks down how to do it. I’ll show you how the model works, why it’s so profitable, and how people like Kenneth are earning $10K–$30K/month without quitting their 9–5.

Why Equipment Finance Is the Perfect Side Business

Most side hustles require inventory, ad spend, or 30+ hours a week to make limited income. Equipment finance doesn’t.

You’re helping businesses get funding for what they already need: trucks, trailers, software, machinery—without using your own money or taking on risk.

There are no products to ship. No storefront. No tech stack. Just relationships and recurring commissions.

How Brokers Make Money (The Simple Math)

I teach brokers how to earn 15%+ of the funded amount. So:

  • A $50,000 deal = $7,500 commission
  • A few deals a month = $20K+ income
  • All deals come from repeat partners, not random cold outreach

You’re not a lender. You’re a connector between businesses and lenders—and you get paid every time a deal funds.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Side Hustle

Unlike flipping products or chasing likes on social media, if you want to make money as an equipment finance broker, you only need one great referral partner to start earning consistently.

Most side hustles compete for your time, energy, and sanity.

You have to:

  • Sell to friends
  • Post daily on social media
  • Keep up with trends

This isn’t that.

Equipment finance brokering is different because:

  • You don’t create the demand—the equipment is already sold
  • You don’t do the selling—the dealer closes the deal
  • You don’t need constant volume—just a few good partners

It’s a business built on trust, leverage, and recurring income.

You do the work once—build the relationship—and keep earning every time that partner sends you deals.

From Hospital Admin to $20K/Month: Kenneth’s Story

When Kenneth first came to me, he was working full-time as a hospital administrator. He wasn’t trying to quit his job—he just wanted more income and more freedom without burning himself out.

He found my program, followed the steps, and launched his own equipment finance business.

Here’s what he did:

  • Set up his brokerage online in just a few days
  • Built relationships with equipment dealers who now send him leads
  • Partnered with underwriters and lenders to fund deals while he focused on relationships

All of it while still working his 9–5—and only putting in about 4 hours a day.

Today, Kenneth consistently earns $10K–$20K/month. That’s 5x his day job income. And he didn’t have to quit to get there.

The best part?
Now he knows if anything happens with his job, he has a real business and a real skill set in his back pocket—one that will never go away.

Why Financial Freedom Is Really About Optionality

Kenneth didn’t quit his job. He didn’t have to.

And that’s what most people really want: options.

The ability to say:

  • “No thanks” to toxic bosses
  • “Yes” to things that actually matter
  • “I’m good” because they have something on the side that works

He didn’t chase passive income.
He built transferable income—a skill set he can use for life.

When you know how to help business owners get funding, you’ll always have value in the market.
That’s the real freedom.
