FINANCIAL SERVICES
Landmark Financial Corp, a Denver-based equipment leasing/finance company, introduced a financing program in 2005 with commercial outfitters in mind. The program features payment schedules that mirror the seasonal cash flow peaks and valleys inherent to the industry. For most, that translates into more aggressive payments in the four month period June through September, followed by reduced off-season payments.
In addition to rafts, canoes and kayaks, outfitters have utilized the program to purchase used school buses and vans, refrigerated beverage cases for camp stores, reservation software and Park Model RV cabins.
The contact at Landmark is Ray Jones at (720) 214-6840 or ray@LFCinc.com.
