Equipment Financing & Tax Benefits in 2012

by Proforma Construction Inc, November 16, 2012

Equipment  financing plays an important role in many relocations and tenant improvement  projects.  During a recent transaction with Trina DeHerrera of U.S. Bank in their Lafayette office she provided the below information which I found useful in my discussion with our clients. I hope  you find it helpful as well.

Don’t put off buying that equipment that you need as Section 179 is set to reduce in 2013.
