We recognize there are many more equipment leasing resources sitting in the audience and invite each attendee to the microphone to give a brief (about two minutes) oral introduction of their companies, products and services.
With a room full of funding sources in the audience, Attendees are also invited to use this opportunity to pitch transactions and portfolios. Remember to bring a supply of printed Terms Sheets describing your funding opportunities for distribution to qualified funding sources.
