What Equipment Finance does

Equipment Finance Corporation, doing business as EFC Finance, is a private specialty equipment financing and leasing company headquartered at 219 Roswell Street in Alpharetta, Georgia, founded in 1994 with a headcount of 11-50 employees. The company originates Capital Leases, Operating Leases, Capital Loans, and Debt Refinancing transactions for businesses acquiring new or used manufacturing and industrial equipment, with flexible structuring including fixed, floating, and adjustable rates, variable terms, and various termination and purchase options. Underlying operations are supported by an equipment financing technology platform that handles lease and loan origination, processing, and management, though no AI, API, or proprietary-tech details are disclosed beyond the platform label.

EFC serves eight industrial verticals: Corrugated Packaging, Folding Carton Packaging, Distribution, Transportation, Manufacturing, Printing, Machine Tool, and Plastics, financing equipment categories that include paper converting manufacturing equipment, trucks and trailers, machine tools, printing presses, plastic injection molding, and material handling systems. Distribution is dual-channel: direct marketing to end-users combined with dealer and manufacturer referral partnerships across the Southeastern United States, with phone-based customer contact (678-319-0333) carrying prospects from application through credit approval to closing.

The revenue model blends one-time transactional revenue from capital loans and debt refinancing with recurring lease economics from operating lease arrangements; pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual customer budgetary needs with no public tier structure. EFC guides customers through the full financing process as a relationship-led, custom-structures lender, with no disclosed revenue, funding, ownership, or management-team information beyond headquarters and contact details.
