Utah is building toward the 2034 Winter Olympics with an I-15 expansion, an inland port, and a tech corridor that keeps commercial construction moving from Ogden to Provo. It is also one of the friendliest states in the country on equipment taxes: Utah follows the full federal Section 179 limit and 100 percent bonus depreciation with no addback.
We place Utah files with lenders that fund in the state without friction, from a Salt Lake site-work contractor to a Bingham Canyon mining contractor to a St. George developer. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

About financing in Utah
Equipment financing in Utah 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 Utah license. Your financing agreement will be with the lender or lessor, who provides any disclosures Utah law requires. No fee is charged to you before funding, and we are paid by the lender when a deal closes.
