TODAY’S TIP: Financing equipment. Don’t take the first financing option you’re offered. You can negotiate loan rates just as you would haggle over the price of a truck. Interest rates vary from lender to lender, and from one part of the country to another, and finance managers have a good deal of leeway when setting the rate for your transaction.
