Delaware has no sales tax, which makes it the cheapest state on the I-95 corridor to buy equipment in, and a port at Wilmington that has become one of the busiest roll-on auto and fruit terminals on the East Coast. Sussex County is one of the top poultry counties in the country, and the state freight plan is pushing new logistics construction around the port and along Route 1.
We place Delaware files with lenders that fund across the Mid-Atlantic, from a New Castle site-work contractor to a Seaford poultry operation to a Wilmington drayage carrier. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

About financing in Delaware
Equipment financing in Delaware is arranged through Land Tech Capital's network of third-party lenders and lessors. Land Tech Capital is a New York based commercial finance broker, not a lender, and does not hold a Delaware license. Your financing agreement will be with the lender or lessor, who provides any disclosures Delaware law requires. No fee is charged to you before funding, and we are paid by the lender when a deal closes.
Questions we get
Is there really no sales tax on equipment in Delaware?
Correct. Delaware has no sales tax at the state or local level. The seller pays a gross receipts tax that is not passed through as a line item.
Do you finance drayage and car hauling equipment for the Port of Wilmington?
Yes. Port drayage, chassis, and car haulers are financed on trucking programs, new and used.
How does Delaware treat bonus depreciation now?
Delaware decoupled from the new federal bonus rules in 2025, with different effective dates for corporations and pass-through businesses. The federal deduction still applies in full on the federal return.
