Best section 179

Section 179 lets a business deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed in service, rather than depreciating it over years.

How it works

That deduction applies whether the equipment is bought with cash or financed — which is the part most owners miss. Financing the purchase and taking the full deduction in year one can leave you cash-positive on the transaction in the first year.

There are annual dollar limits and a phase-out threshold, and the equipment must be placed in service, not merely ordered, before year end.

What it takes

That year-end timing is why equipment funding gets urgent in December.

The minimum FICO is 500. The 650/600/550 tiers are product criteria that decide which product a file is read against, not a floor on the business. Scores in the 500s are placed routinely and are read on revenue, deposit consistency and time in business rather than on the score alone.

Average daily balance of $5,000, or 10% of monthly revenue, whichever is greater. Up to 3 negative days a month, 9 per six months and up to 6 NSFs a month, 24 per six months.

The trade-off worth knowing

Confirm the specifics with your accountant. This is a financing site, not tax advice.

Restricted regardless of the numbers: new residential construction, residential remodelling, long-distance (TL or LTL) trucking, used car dealers, and real estate agents, brokers, managers or lessors. Funding in all 50 US states.
