NEW RELEASE 🚨 : The June Monthly Leasing and Finance Index (MLFI-25) reveals that new business volume among surveyed ELFA member companies was down 4% Y/Y and up 4.1% YTD. Commenting on the results, Todd Wainwright, SVP, Head of Commerce & Strategic Partnerships, Amur, said, “The current moment, while not simple, is a very interesting one for Amur and other well-capitalized independents. Banks have been so dominant in our industry for so long, but with banks looking to lend less, we expect to see continued opportunities to be the go-to source of financing in the marketplace. Given our 28-year track record and time-tested platform, we are proud that we have been able to stay consistent and reliable with our partners regardless of market fluctuations.“ The MLFI-25 is part of ELFA's Knowledge Hub, the source for equipment finance business intelligence.
