Who we fund
Different contractors, different deals — same lender panel, same five-day funding cycle on app-only files.
First-time utility contractors
2+ years running someone else's mini. Ready to own your own. Used Kubota KX040 or Bobcat E42 picked out. Expect 15-25% down on used if you're sub-2 years in business. Programs built for the first-piece deal.
Plumbers and service contractors
Buying a mini for water-service replacements, sewer laterals, and tight-lot service work. CAT 303, Kubota U27, Bobcat E26. Get the mini financed instead of paying $500/day rental.
Landscapers and hardscape contractors
Kubota KX-series, Bobcat E-series, John Deere 30G-35G. Small pit digs, retaining wall footings, drainage work. First piece for a growing operation, or unit two/three for adding capacity.
Startup excavation subs
Just formed the LLC, have the operator experience, ready to run your own job. Kubota KX080 or CAT 308 for the mid-size utility work. 20-25% down typical on used equipment.
Used mini excavators (high-hour, older)
8+ years, 3,000+ hours — the units dealer finance won't touch. We finance outside age/hours limits with higher down and shorter term. Auction, dealer, private seller — all work.
Multi-piece fleet expansion
Adding mini #3, #5, #10. App-only fleet expansion up to a size limit; beyond that, full-financials deals in 7-14 days. We structure around your job pipeline, cash flow, and equipment mix.

Section 179 — write off the mini the year it goes to work
A commercial mini excavator financed through TAC typically qualifies for Section 179 depreciation. Deduct the full purchase price the year you place it in service — up to the IRS annual limit ($1,250,000 in 2026) — instead of depreciating over five or seven years. Combined with our simple-interest loan structure, the after-tax cost of the machine is materially lower than paying cash. See our Section 179 calculator for your specific numbers.

“As a new startup, Logan helped me find the easiest financing with little hassle. The whole experience was awesome — especially the ability to walk into a dealership and negotiate a price knowing you have already been approved. Will go this route from now on.”
