Buying equipment for coastal, Interior or northern BC work
Share where the equipment will operate as well as where you are buying it. A contractor in the Lower Mainland adding compact equipment, a Vancouver Island forestry business replacing a machine and a northern BC resource contractor arranging a remote delivery may need different inspection and transport plans.
For a forestry machine, provide attachment specifications, service records and hours. For a tow truck or dump truck, include the chassis and body details. For a landscaping or snow-removal package, itemize the loader, trailer and attachments so the complete purchase can be reviewed.
Lease or finance the purchase
Equipment leasing and conditional sales contracts can be discussed based on the transaction. For equipment your business already owns, sale-leaseback may be an option. Provide a clear equipment quote, business information and any separate freight or installation costs before committing to a delivery date.
