A mini skid steer lease is a way to put a narrow machine to work without paying the full price up front. Always Capital sets the structure. This site does not take the application.
Lease versus loan
| Structure | What to check |
|---|---|
| Equipment loan | Lien, term, and prepayment |
| Capital lease | Purchase option at the end of the term |
| Fair-market-value lease | Return, renewal, or purchase at the end |
A lease can fit a fencing or landscape crew that wants a lower upfront cost. It is a poor fit if you only need the machine for a few days. Rent that job instead.
