Worried About the Upfront Cost of a Sea Can?
Discover affordable monthly financing options that make ownership easy and accessible across Eastern Canada.
Why Sea Cans Make Sense—But Financing Is the Missing Link
Sea cans, also known as shipping containers, have gone from industrial eyesores to innovative solutions for homes, offices, retail spaces, and mobile storage. Whether you’re a homeowner needing extra space, a contractor needing a mobile site office, or a small business dreaming of a pop-up shop, a shipping container can offer that space quickly and affordably.
But let’s be honest—while the versatility is appealing, the upfront cost can be a hurdle. That’s where Sea Can Guys’ financing options step in, making container ownership realistic and stress-free.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through exactly how container financing works in Eastern Canada and why Sea Can Guys makes the process as seamless as possible.
Who We Help
From DIY builders in New Brunswick to contractors in Nova Scotia, Sea Can Guys serves a wide range of customers looking to make big moves without big financial commitments.
We work with:
Homeowners needing affordable storage
Contractors and builders needing temporary or permanent workspaces
Entrepreneurs building pop-up stores or tiny homes
Artists, preppers, farmers, event organizers—you name it
Our financing structure is built to support both personal and business use.
The Problem with Paying Upfront
Let’s address the elephant in the room: shipping containers aren’t cheap.
Even basic 20’ units can run into the thousands—especially if you’re customizing them with insulation, lighting, doors, or windows. Add delivery and installation, and that number creeps up quickly.
This is the number one reason why customers hesitate. But that hesitation disappears when they learn how simple it is to finance with Sea Can Guys.
Here’s How Sea Can Financing Works
We break it down into four easy steps:
Step 1: Choose Your Container
Browse our inventory or speak with one of our container experts. We help you pick the size and configuration that fits your project and budget.
Need something modified? No problem. We’ll discuss your customizations and finalize the price.
Step 2: Apply for Financing
We partner with Financeit for personal purchases and CANLEASE for business needs. Once you choose your container, we’ll direct you to the right partner.
The application process is fully online, takes just a few minutes, and in most cases, approval comes in under 24 hours.
Step 3: Get Approved and Finalize the Deal
Unlike traditional banks, our partners look beyond just credit scores. There’s no hard credit check at the beginning, and we work with a wide range of applicants.
You’ll see a clear payment breakdown—typically ranging between $120 to $250 per month, depending on your container and term length.
You’ll also know exactly what’s included: delivery, installation, customization—no surprises.
Step 4: Delivery to Your Location
Once your financing is approved, we coordinate delivery to your site—whether it’s in Dartmouth, Moncton, Sydney, or rural Nova Scotia.
From order to delivery, we keep the process transparent and efficient.

What Can You Use a Financed Sea Can For?
Our customers have done incredible things with their containers:
Backyard offices and studios
Temporary retail locations for seasonal sales
And with financing, all of this becomes possible now, not years down the road.
Business Customers: Turn a Container into an Asset
If you’re running a business, financing a container isn’t just about convenience—it’s about growth.
Containers are considered depreciable assets, meaning you can potentially write off the value on your taxes over time. If you lease through CANLEASE, you might also deduct payments as a business expense.
We encourage business owners to speak with their accountants, but the bottom line is: financing a container can be a smart move for cash flow and tax strategy.
