Best Leasing Options for Startups and New Construction Companies

[Rainiel Ollis]

Hey everyone, I'm curious what leasing options you'd recommend for startups or newer construction companies trying to build their fleet.
With equipment prices climbing, leasing seems like a smart way to keep cash flow steady while still getting reliable machines.
Have any of you found certain leasing companies or programs that offer better terms, flexibility, or lower upfront costs?
I'm especially interested in options that cater well to smaller or growing contractors.
Would love to hear your experiences, tips, or any pitfalls to avoid when leasing for the first time!

Leasing can be a smart move for startups-around 60% of new construction firms use leasing to manage cash flow and access newer equipment without heavy upfront costs. Look for programs that offer flexible end-of-term options and maintenance-inclusive leases, since those save a ton long-term. Caterpillar Financial and John Deere Financial both have solid reputations for helping smaller contractors get started
