Alphabetical list - click on company name to view more details

Here are funders who take "A" and "B" rated applicants. They are also more interested not in "application only."  They become more comfortable learning more, beyond reviewing financial statements and tax returns, additional collateral, learning more about the story behind the business as qualifiers.

To qualify for this list, the company must be a funder (as qualified by Leasing News) and are on the “Funder List” and not a "Broker” or “Super Broker.” 

Leasing News reserves the right to not list a company who does not meet these qualifications.

Leasing and Finance Industry Help Wanted
Positions with Attractive Income & Benefits

Controlling Personal Success
By Scott Wheeler, CLFP

 

Originators in the commercial equipment finance and leasing industry are selling an intangible, a service, a concept. When clients decide to use an originator's products, they are affirming their confidence in the originator's ability to deliver a competitive and efficient process to provide funds for their equipment acquisitions.

Companies depend upon originators who are capable and willing to continuously prospect and win new relationships and transactions. Top originators lead with their personal value proposition because they know the importance of letting their clients know how they are uniquely qualified as a strong financial advisor who will provide a superior service.

An originator's optimistic attitude and positive activities create success. Distractions and negativity diminish their ability to maximize their personal income.

As an originator, they control their daily activities. As an originator, they control their presentation and its effectiveness. As an originator, they control their daily success. As an originator, they control their career. As an originator, it is empowering to assume personal responsibility and to capture more than one's fair share of opportunities that are currently available in the market.

The commercial equipment finance and leasing industry is a robust, ever-changing, market. Top originators are embracing change and positioning themselves for a strong ending to 2024 and additional success in 2025. Top originators are focused on their personal activities and personal success.

I recommend becoming a Certified Leasing and Finance Professional, having CLFP behind your name.

Battle Horse Financial Selects LTi Technology Solutions’ ASPIRE Express to Drive Growth,
Portfolio Efficiency, and Ensure Regulatory Compliance
                       

LTi Technology Solutions (LTi), a leading provider of lease and loan software solutions for the equipment finance industry, announces that Battle Horse Financial (Battle Horse) has chosen the ASPIRE Express platform to support its expanding portfolio, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Rapid business growth prompted Battle Horse to pursue a technology solution that would support the management needs of their growing portfolio, and they determined the right fit to be ASPIRE Express. The platform offers the right combination of functionality and scalability to meet their current needs, with future-ready options to enhance efficacy through modular add-ons.


Tara Aasand, VP Sales and Relationship Management LTi Technology Solutions, said, “By adopting ASPIRE Express, Battle Horse is equipped with the tools to take their portfolio management to the next level and unlock new growth opportunities.

A Future-Ready Solution with Modular Flexibility
As Battle Horse continues to grow and expand, ASPIRE Express’s platform offers modular capabilities, offering the ability to configure the platform to scale and evolve with their business needs. Key features of ASPIRE Express’ include options for process automation, such as charging interim rent through an add-on module, which ensures long-term operational efficiency.

Mike Winstead, Chief Operating Officer, said, “Our CFO, Lauren Lindsey with extensive experience as a bank auditor, was especially impressed with ASPIRE Express’s sub-ledger system for tracking all lease accounting activities.

 “The platform provides us with the transparency and accuracy we need to meet strict regulatory standards while streamlining financial reporting.”

Air Taxi Flights Targeting Miami’s Skies by 2026
By Matthew W. Daus, Esq.


Source: Miami Today News

Air taxis could be cruising the skyline as soon as summer 2026, as UrbanLink is progressing with plans to launch an all-electric fleet geared to transform transportation in Miami.

A South Florida-based startup, UrbanLink is an advanced air mobility (AAM) company working to revolutionize aerial and maritime transit through cutting-edge, zero-emission solutions. It plans to start operating its electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles, known as eVTOLs, in Miami within two years, pending regulatory approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

Miami has been striving to make air taxis a reality since the concept emerged. At an urban air mobility panel hosted by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce in June 2023, industry partners were optimistic the aircraft would be certified by 2026 and become a regular mode of transportation in the following years.
