Northpoint Commercial Finance Partners with Arctic Cat

In a significant development for the offroad industry, Northpoint Commercial Finance has announced a strategic collaboration with Arctic Cat, marking its entry as the exclusive financier for Arctic Cat's dealer network across the United States and Canada. This partnership is poised to streamline dealer financing, providing Arctic Cat's dealers with flexible and customizable inventory lending solutions.

A New Era for Arctic Cat Dealers

The partnership was announced on January 21, 2026, and aims to fulfill Arctic Cat's commitment to empower its dealers through tailored financing solutions. Brad Darling, President and CEO of Arctic Cat, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in fostering a supportive relationship with dealers. He stated, "Partnering with Northpoint is a key step in helping fulfill Arctic Cat's commitment to powersports dealers to be the right business partner for their dealership."

This collaboration comes on the heels of Arctic Cat's acquisition in April 2025, where the company has since focused on strengthening dealer partnerships. Northpoint will offer manageable financing terms as well as a dedicated customer support team to ensure that dealers are not only satisfied but also positioned for increased sales and profitability.

Enhancing Dealer Support and Sales Potential

With this new financing option, Arctic Cat seeks to provide its dealers with a competitive edge in the market. Customers looking to invest in powersports vehicles will greatly benefit from the newly introduced financing structure, which will allow them to make confident purchasing decisions. Erik Nelson, VP of Sales at Arctic Cat, remarked on the significance of this partnership—stating it would allow Arctic Cat to deliver on its promises of exceptional service to its dealers.

"As we continue to build and grow our existing dealer network and look for strong new dealers in open areas, Northpoint is the perfect partner to help us not only deliver on our promises, but to do so in a way that satisfies our dealers in an exceptional manner," Nelson added.

This partnership will also coincide with the anticipated launch of a robust MY27 snowmobile lineup slated for later this winter, further paving the way for dealers to engage consumers effectively. The new lineup, combined with innovative financing solutions, provides Arctic Cat dealers an opportunity to attract more consumers and align themselves with a brand that supports their business interests.
