How about renting the equipment on a per-job basis until your finances improve?
Not possible with the sort of equipment I need. No one rents the sort of rig I need.
We do rain gutters. What we need is a machine that turns metal coil into rain gutter and a small box truck to haul the operation from job to job.
There are independents who will come to a jobsite and roll out gutter for us, but what they charge per foot would eat up most of the profit from our jobs.
