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.
