When it comes to purchasing machinery, the decision isn't always as simple as cash or financing—it's a strategic move that can shape the future of your business.

In this episode of Buy the Numbers, Ty Willis joins me to break down equipment financing, Section 179 tax benefits, and how to make smart purchasing decisions. Should you leverage financing to preserve cash flow or invest upfront for incremental growth?

Ty dives into these questions, exploring how diverse lending strategies and tools like equipment finance agreements can help you maximize ROI without overextending your business.

We'll also discuss common pitfalls, like buying equipment for depreciation alone, and why Section 179 should complement a smart decision—not drive it.

Whether you're expanding operations, upgrading technology, or testing new markets, Ty's expert insights will help you weigh the tax, financial, and growth implications of your next big move. Tune in for actionable advice to keep your business growing strategically!
