Affordable Skid Steer Loader Financing Options for Small Businesses

July 31, 2025

Paying for a skid steer loader in full can tie up capital better spent on labor, marketing, or operational needs. Financing allows you to spread the cost over time, keeping your cash flow healthy and giving you room to grow.

Skid steer loaders are the backbone of many industries—construction, landscaping, agriculture, and more. Their versatility, compact size, and efficiency make them essential for completing jobs quickly and safely. But with costs ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 or more, many small businesses struggle to purchase this equipment outright.

That’s where affordable skid steer loader financing steps in.

At National Legacy Capital Group, we specialize in helping small and mid-sized businesses access the equipment they need—without draining their working capital. From flexible loans to leasing programs, we offer personalized financing solutions designed to support long-term growth.

Why Financing a Skid Steer Loader Makes Sense

Preserve Cash Flow and Capital

Paying for a skid steer loader in full can tie up capital better spent on labor, marketing, or operational needs. Financing allows you to spread the cost over time, keeping your cash flow healthy and giving you room to grow.

According to Investopedia, equipment financing is a smart strategy for businesses that want to maintain liquidity while still investing in necessary assets.

Manageable Monthly Payments

Financing structures typically allow for predictable monthly payments, making budgeting easier. Whether you’re in a seasonal industry or growing rapidly, structured terms help ensure affordability.

Potential Tax Benefits

When financed correctly, skid steer loaders may qualify for deductions under IRS Section 179, allowing you to write off the purchase price in the same year the equipment is placed in service.

What Is Skid Steer Loader Financing?

Skid steer loader financing refers to a loan or lease arrangement where businesses can acquire the equipment they need without a large upfront payment. This enables access to vital equipment while preserving liquidity and financial flexibility.

Some common financing terms include:

  • 24 to 72-month loan durations

  • Fixed monthly payments

  • Equipment used as collateral

  • Options to purchase, upgrade, or return leased equipment

This approach is especially valuable for small businesses that want to stay competitive but lack the capital to buy equipment outright.

�Flexible Payment Plans

We understand that no two businesses are the same. Whether you want low monthly payments, seasonal flexibility, or interest-only options at the beginning of your term, our team can tailor a financing structure to suit your needs.

Financing Options Available

Equipment Loans

Own your skid steer from day one with a traditional equipment loan. These come with competitive rates and predictable monthly payments. Once the loan is paid off, you own the equipment outright.

Equipment Leasing

Prefer more flexibility? Leasing allows you to use the skid steer with lower monthly payments and fewer upfront costs. This is a great option for seasonal businesses or those who frequently upgrade equipment.

According to SBA.gov, leasing is often the preferred route for small businesses looking to maintain flexibility without large capital investments.

Business Lines of Credit

A business line of credit offers access to capital on demand. Draw only what you need, when you need it—ideal for businesses with varying equipment needs or multiple concurrent projects.

Small Business Term Loans

These provide lump-sum funding with structured repayment terms. Whether you're buying a single loader or investing in your fleet, this option offers long-term affordability with minimal disruption to cash flow.
