New vs Used Equipment - Budget Optimization 2026

Banks Only Finance New Equipment

Banks prefer financing new equipment and reject machines older than 5 years. This forces contractors to buy expensive new equipment. For new equipment costing RM 300,000, banks require RM 30,000 to RM 60,000 down payment. Used equipment options are limited at banks, reducing budget flexibility.
