Leasingsecrets.com Publishes "How To" Equipment Financing and Leasing Guides-Press Release #2
Leasingsecrets.com launches web-site
Los Angeles, CA --May 1, 2002-
For those who have experienced it firsthand, obtaining equipment financing and leasing for a business of any size can be painful and sometimes expensive. It includes a maze of paperwork, involving a complex and sometimes mysterious process. This process is about to become much simpler and more cost effective.
At least that's the intent of Equipment Funding Resources, an independent equipment leasing and finance company, founded in 1991. They recently launched their publications web-site http://www.leasingsecrets.com/. This coincides with the release a number of "how-to" publications (hard copy and e-book format) for the business owner or decision-maker, having to do with this process. Tom Tolman, a twenty-five year veteran of the equipment leasing and financing industry, wrote these publications.
" To my knowledge there is very little, step-by-step, practical information available for the small, medium or large business person, or decision maker, which can be used to prepare for this involvement. Unfortunately the person trying to sell or market this financial service to the customer is the one they have to depend upon for education in this process. This can be a real conflict of interest and be detrimental to negotiating the best possible terms for the customer."
"By providing tools in advance, in the form of knowledge,
a business person can be prepared to get the best terms available when leasing or financing equipment. We cover everything from the best way to provide credit information to the lender, to how to negotiate the terms of the lease agreement".
Tolman has worked for such major companies and institutional lenders as Avis, U.S Leasing International, Xerox Credit Corporation, and HSBC Business Loans, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. During his career he has been personally involved in the leasing and financing of over $100 million worth of equipment.
The names of these publications are " Insider's Guide to the Secrets of Equipment Leasing and Financing", "An Equipment Lease in Layman's Terms", " A Technology Lease in Layman's Terms", "Insider's Checklist When Leasing or financing Equipment" and " The Truth About Equipment Leasing and Financing as a Business Opportunity".

Equipment Funding Resources and Leasingsecrets.com were founded in 1991 by Tom Tolman. During his thirty years of experience in all facets of the equipment financing and leasing industry, he recognized the critical need for a customized, value added approach with regard to the equipment financing and leasing needs of small, medium and large businesses. He has worked for such major companies and institutional lenders as Avis, U.S. Leasing International, Xerox Credit Corporation and HSBC Business Loans, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Shanghai Bank. Involved in various, upper level sales, marketing and credit management capacities, he has been directly responsible for the financing and leasing of over 100 million dollars worth of equipment in his career. He assisted the following companies, among others, in providing equipment financing and leasing solutions for equipment acquisitions of all types: |
Almaden Vineyards
| Lockheed |
Auto Insurance Specialists | Nissan |
Avery Label | Racal-Dana |
Burger King | Toshiba Medical Systems |
Domino's Pizza | U.S. Rentals |
As part of his overall experience, he determined that each of the companies he worked for, as well as most others in the industry, served a very narrow segment of their respective, overall markets. This was in relation to the specific terms of credit qualification requirements, equipment types, documentation restrictions and transaction sizes.
At the same time, as a matter of sound sales and marketing policies, he also recognized that these companies also did not necessarily provide their customers and prospects, in all cases, with the complete background and knowledge they needed to make informed, competitive business decisions. He found this to be especially true with regard to each of his prospect's and client's unique equipment financing or leasing needs.
As a result, he formulated a revolutionary approach to the market needs of the small, medium and large sized companies who were seeking equipment leasing and financing services, and built the company around that concept.
By compiling and continuously updating a database of over 100 different underwriter/lenders through his years in the business, and making those available to his clients, Equipment Funding Resources has been able to match the exact needs of the customer, in all respects, with the appropriate lender. From start-ups to Fortune 1000 companies, Equipment Funding Resources has the capability to accommodate most viable, equipment leasing and financing situations. This database is also used to assist equipment vendors of all types as a "sales-aid" tool in helping them increase their sales. This is accomplished by providing a pre-arranged financing option to their customers as a part of their equipment sales cycle. |

In conjunction with their sister company, leasingsecrets.com Equipment Funding Resources also publishes "how to" and informational guides to assist business people and corporate decision-makers in obtaining the best equipment leasing or loan terms available. The following products were published with this especially in mind: "Insider's Guide to the Secrets of Equipment Financing and Leasing" "An Equipment Lease in Layman's Terms" "A Technology Lease in Layman's Terms" "17-Item Checklist When Leasing or Financing Equipment" "The Equipment Financing and Leasing Insider's Newsletter" "The Truth About Equipment Leasing/Loan Brokerage as a Business Opportunity" http://equipmentfundingresources.com/ |
