The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association was founded as the Association of Equipment Lessors in 1961. In a relatively short time, the equipment leasing industry grew from a fledgling industry to a major force in the U.S. economy.
Equipping business for success. That’s what the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) is all about. ELFA is the trade association representing financial services companies and manufacturers in the $1 trillion U.S. equipment finance sector. Our members provide the financing that businesses need to operate and grow.
ELFA exists to provide member companies a platform to promote and advocate for the industry, including attracting and developing new and diverse talent; a forum for professional development and training; and a resource that develops information about, and for, the industry.
Equipment financing helps all types and sizes of commercial businesses to acquire the equipment they need to operate and grow.
