West Virginia is gas, coal, timber, and steel country, with Corridor H pushing east and a new Nucor mill in Mason County pulling contractors and haulers into the Ohio River valley. The terrain is hard on equipment and the work is heavy: dozers, excavators, rock trucks, and the log and coal trucks that run the mountains.
We place West Virginia files with lenders that fund in the state, from a Morgantown gas services company to a Charleston site-work contractor to a Randolph County logging crew. Options in 24 to 48 hours on a soft inquiry.

About financing in West Virginia
Equipment financing in West Virginia 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 West Virginia license. Your financing agreement will be with the lender or lessor, who provides any disclosures West Virginia law requires. No fee is charged to you before funding, and we are paid by the lender when a deal closes.
Questions we get
Do you finance equipment for gas well services?
Yes. Water haulers, vac trucks, and support equipment for Marcellus work are financed regularly, and industry experience counts for a new company.
Can a logging crew finance a used skidder?
Yes. Forestry is a specialized program with age and hour limits that depend on the lender. Log trucks go on the truck programs.
Does West Virginia allow bonus depreciation?
West Virginia generally follows the federal code, so the federal first-year deduction is allowed on the state return. Confirm your year with your accountant.
