Aurora's equipment-finance market

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 mining financing
The patterns below show up regularly on mining equipment financing transactions across Aurora, CO. Catching any of them at the application or document-review stage saves real money and avoids post-funding disputes.
The mining 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.
A 60-month term on mining equipment with a 12-year useful life prices worse than the same term on a 6-year-life unit. Align the term to the asset and the cost of capital tightens by 50-150 basis points on most programs.
