Why not upgrade equipment needing replacement and let the government pay for one-third of it in lieu of paying out in taxes? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 offers significant tax benefits and in some cases bonus depreciation.
With manufacturers inventories built up now is the time to get new low maintenance equipment instead of buying used equipment. Used equipment is a short-term solution that generally comes with higher maintenance costs. Why gamble with your company’s future? With new equipment you insure your company’s ability to move product to serve your customers’ needs.
There simply is not a better time to upgrade!
