Captive Lease Advisors

Services

Services

Product manufacturers and distributors sell more, compete better and drive more revenue when they offer financing options.

Business

Captive Lease Advisors advise on the benefits, as well as the establishment, of a fully functional in-house captive leasing and financing company for a product manufacturer or distributor, offering competitive product financing for all product customers, one that provides both a product marketing advantage and new profit center opportunity. The captive product financing can be offered using, in whole or in part, a product vendor’s internal funds or funds from third-party financing companies or banks. And the financing operation can be set up fully with in-house personnel or substantially using cost-effective third-party finance operation service providers, which the Advisory Team can identify.

Operational and Support Services

Can assist in the set up of all day-to-day operations of a captive finance company as well as support and provide management supervision for day-to-day operations, and identify and arrange contracts with third-party service providers offering front-end financing and operational software for a captive financing company, including transaction credit and document processing and transaction pricing. The Advisory Team can also identify and arrange contracts with third-party service providers offering operational “back office” services, such as for financing contract billing, payment collection and operational report generation and identify and facilitate arrangements, as necessary, with collection agencies as well as law firms for litigation needs.
