ROI and Cash Flow Fit
You’ re spending now to make money soon, so the math has to work.
• Calculate break-even jobs per piece of equipment.
• Consider leasing vs. buying— especially if you’ re scaling or testing a new service.
• Look into seasonal financing options tailored for construction / asphalt businesses( many vendors offer delayed payments or interest-free seasonal plans). Example: If a crack fill machine costs $ 5,000 and nets you $ 500 per day in profit, it pays for itself in 10 days— a solid investment with years of usage to come.
Bonus Tip:
Order early if you need to … ask if you need to. Many contractors get caught in shipping delays or backorders just as the season heats up. Buying in April-May is often ideal.
These are some vital tips I have taken heed of over the years. Buying equipment is always a large investment and causes feelings of caution and excitement. Being sure to check your emotions with solid strategy will treat you well. Hopefully you find the above information as useful as I have throughout my recent buying experiences.
