Boat Equipment Financing

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

It has long been said that if you live long enough you will see everything.  That is never more true than in the realm of small business.  Last year I bought a new boat before the gas was $5.25 on the water which it is today.  I told the sellers broker that I financed small business’s equipment.  A year almost to the day he called me and asked if I might be able to finance his friends business which a boat club franchise.  It is especially gratifying to finance equipment you love and I love boats.

Although we had not financed any boats in the past I was hopefully optimistic we could put the financing together at eLease.  When I learned more about the business and the insurance they needed to carry to operate the club I was very impressed and felt comfortable with the financing.  We structured a 36 month Equipment Finance Agreement which would allow them to payoff early and also gave them true ownership in the equipment which protects us in case of one of their members gets in an accident.  So in the end the situation was win win. 

 I especially like to finance different equipment because you learn so much about the equipment.  See you on the water!

Belated Birthday America

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

4th of the July was a much needed vacation for many entrepreneurs across this great country of ours.  I truly appreciate the 4th of July for many reasons but mainly it is the birth of this great country of ours.  Happy 232!  With all the negative information in the news you would think this lady of hope was having a tough go of it the last 2 years but in the big picture of who and what we are as a people and the ideals we stand for it is simply  a bad day in her lifespan as America.  Life a short lived cold or a housing hangover we will get over it.  Just like many darker days in America.  The glass is always half full for those of us who drink the Coolaid of Free Enterprise and freedom.

Sure the economy is a bit rocky right now but I am sure Uncle Sam will find a way out!!  I was kidding but it seems Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain to the rescue!!!  Industry and the American spirit has always been the light in the dark tunnel and that light tends to come from entrepreneurs finding ways to capitalize on difficult times.  So happy belated birthday to Lady Liberty and to business owners over the US.  I hope you had a great 3 day weekend but it is now time to get back to work.  (If you did take the 3 days off)  You can have another day next Month!

I think back to 9/11 and the gas crisis of the seventies and the Vietnam war in my lifetime.Â
