OUR PURPOSE

In 2010 we brought our consumer leasing expertise to the BHPH space and were immediately overwhelmed by the desire of dealers to offer Lease-Here-Pay-Here to their customers. The biggest challenge in the space was finding lenders, so we bridged that gap in 2017 and became a lender to dealers for used car leasing. Today, we help our dealer partners put over $200MM of leases on the road every year.

We are experts in leasing and we truly believe in the benefits to the driver, the dealer, and the lender. We also want the dealer to be successful and not feel the typical burden of borrowing from big banks or financial partners who tend to over-leverage them. It’s important to us that we value each other, learn from each other, and enjoy our relationship from beginning to end.
