Sales-financing companies funding equipment, vehicles, and dealer inventory: captive finance arms (manufacturer and dealer floorplan) and independent lessors. The federal code is broad 'sales financing,' so it folds a large auto and dealer-finance component in with equipment proper. Demand tracks capital-equipment investment and vehicle sales; recurring lease and loan income drives the economics.

Characteristics

  • Scale-driven: payroll is only 8% of revenue, so the cost base is assets, not headcount
  • Deep strategic-buyer pool: 160 firms exceed 500 employees, so a scaled asset has trade buyers
  • Demand tracks business capital spending.
  • Residual-value management and funding costs drive returns.
  • Captive finance arms and independent lessors.
