AP Equipment Financing Achieves 46% Q3 Growth & Wins Top Workplaces Award

AP Equipment Financing was awarded “The Oregonian: 2022 Regional Top Workplace Award” and funded a record-breaking $92.5 Million in Q3 2022, a 46% year-over-year increase from Q3 2021.

“Over the past year, we have made strategic changes to our sales strategy alongside continual updates to our operational and technology platforms.” Says Chris Lerma, CLFP, President of AP. “We have diversified our target markets with complimentary niches resulting in consistent and planned volume growth, while maintaining the exceptional service our customers have become accustomed to.”

AP Equipment Financing has been awarded a Top Workplace 2022 award by The Oregonian. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The anonymous survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization, including alignment, execution, connection, and more.
