The Alta Group has unveiled ExpertAccess, a subscription asset management program aimed at helping equipment leasing and finance businesses.

The program has already attracted clients, with CEO John C. Deane noting that nearly a dozen companies have already subscribed to the program.

The ExpertAccess team is headed by Carl C. Chrappa, an Alta senior managing director who has experience in equipment trading, appraisals, litigation support, portfolio valuations and equipment management.

“As part of ExpertAccess we can design a program that meets each individual company’s specific tactical and strategic needs, creating a virtual asset management department for a business or augmenting the resources of its existing asset management department,” said Chrappa.

Included in the program’s features are opinion letters for current or future equipment value, fair market value letter verification, industry research data, verbal opinions for bidding purposes and select services at discounted fees, including inspections and appraisals, USPAP appraisal reports, remarketing/auction services, market studies and due diligence support.

The program is currently available in the U.S. and Canada and will soon be offered in Europe and Latin America.
