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.
