The Equipment Leasing and Finance Association launched its Knowledge Hub, an online library that provides access to a range of industry research and information. The development of the Knowledge Hub was based, in part, on input provided by members of the ELFA’s business council steering committees about the association data, benchmarking and statistical resources that they use and their preferred delivery channels.

The Knowledge Hub includes ELFA’s most popular industry information, including the:

• Business Technology Performance Index (BTPI)
• Credit Manager and Collection Managers Surveys
• Economic Impact State Fact Sheets
• Equipment Leasing & Finance Compensation Survey and Small & Medium Enterprise Compensation Survey
• Industry Information Help Desk
• Industry Topics Web Pages
• Monthly Leasing and Finance Index (MLFI-25)
• State Tax Manual and State Law Compendium
• Survey of Equipment Finance Activity (SEFA) and SEFA Interactive Dashboard
• What’s Hot/What’s Not Equipment Market Forecast

“Access to ELFA research and data is one of the primary benefits of being an ELFA member,” Ralph Petta, president and CEO of the ELFA, said. “With so much information and varying needs among members, the Knowledge Hub makes it easier than ever to learn about and find the resources in one centralized location. I encourage members to visit the Knowledge Hub often for indispensable intelligence for all areas of your business. The Knowledge Hub is, in effect, your company’s own research department.”
