Aurora's equipment-finance market
In Aurora, a city of roughly 380,000, medical campuses and Front Range logistics growth drive the market. The applications we fund from the metro lean on construction, medical, logistics, and the HVAC deals fit that pattern.
Colorado's state sales-tax base rate is 2.9 percent (local additions vary), and on most deals the tax rolls into the financed amount rather than coming out of pocket. The UCC-1 securing the equipment gets filed with the Colorado Secretary of State, and we handle that filing at funding. Colorado conforms to federal Section 179, so the deduction works the same on your state return as your federal one. Full state-level detail lives on our Colorado guide.

Common pitfalls on HVAC financing

On commercial vehicles and trailers, standard commercial auto doesn't cover cargo. Shippers in Colorado often require minimums above $100K. Confirm cargo limits before funding.
The HVAC policy must name us as loss payee for the life of the loan. A mismatched loss payee triggers force-placed insurance at 3-5x the open-market rate while the issue resolves.
