Pre-qualification questions

Does getting pre-qualified affect my credit?

No. This form does not ask for your Social Security number or authorize a credit pull. A specialist reviews your aircraft, amount and timeline first; a lender only checks credit later, with your permission, when you choose to apply.

How fast will I hear back?

Typically within 1–3 business days. Once you have a signed purchase agreement, underwriting and approval usually take 1–2 weeks, and most loans close 2–4 weeks from application.

Who actually makes the loan?

A lender in Jaken Aviation's network of banks, credit unions and specialty aviation lenders. Jaken Aviation is a loan brokerage, not a direct lender — it matches your request to the lender that fits the aircraft and your file, and the lender makes the credit decision.

What do I need to get started?

Just the basics: what you are financing (make, model and year if you know it), the approximate price or loan amount, and your timeline. Tax returns, bank statements and aircraft documents come later, once you have options you like.

Can I get pre-qualified before I find an airplane?

Yes, and it helps. Knowing your likely down payment, term and payment range narrows the search and makes your offer stronger when you find the right aircraft. Put "still shopping" in the aircraft field.
