First Star Capital is a direct lender with the ability to quickly and efficiently fund new financing requests between $10,000 and $10,000,000.

About First Star Capital

First Star Capital is a BBB (Better Business Bureau) Accredited Business. The BBB adheres to the highest standards of professional conduct and this accreditation means that we are part of an elite group with a proven track record for being honest, dependable and responsive. First Star is also a proud member of two prominent industry associations; the UAEL (United Association of Equipment Lessors) and the NAELB (National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers).

Brad Harmon, President of First Star Capital, is a Certified Lease Professional. The CLP designation is only given to those individuals that have demonstrated success in the leasing industry for a minimum of five years and have completed a thorough training program covering 16 subjects and have passed the most rigid test in the industry. To put it in perspective, the equipment lease and finance industry accounts for nearly $600 billion in annual capital equipment expenditure - almost a third of all commercial equipment investment. Eight out of 10 U.S. companies lease and finance all or some of their equipment. There are roughly 4,000 - 5,000 leasing firms in the U.S but there are only less than 250 CLP’s.

Programs

First Star Capital offers a wide variety of financing products to assist our customers in determining the best option when acquiring equipment. We also offer custom payment plans which we have deemed our "flexible finance" options. When planning an equipment lease, it is important to decide what options fit best with your company.
