American Leasing & Financial in Portland, OR

We are a new start up company and American Financial and Leasing was wonderful at getting us what we needed. I am very impressed with Derek Anniston for the service he provided us. We have our chance to move forward they helped us do that.

My advice: Price shop! Don't just sign the first approval you get. Giving American a chance to quote us saved us real money we were able to keep in the business. We were going to sign the approval we got from Direct Capital but it was a little pricy and we were hesitant. American offers what they call a 'best approval guarantee' where if you send in a competitor's approval, they will match or beat the terms or send you $50 just for letting them try. Sure enough, American saved us $28 a month and got us into a new service truck with less money of pocket. Next time, we'll just contact these guys first.

Didn't get us approved right away but they treated us like human beings. They followed up regularly and gave us a path to getting an excavator that eventually came together. Everyone else was quick to turn us away, but they took our phone calls even when there wasn't anything immediately in it for them. Bless you guys!

Way different then the company we started out working with! They told me what they would need all at once and got this put together fast.

We've borrowed from quite a few lenders for $40,000 or $50,000 here and there over about twenty years, but as soon as we needed a big ticket item, our options thinned out. American got us $340,000 when everyone else - including our own bank - said it couldn't be done. I might just be one person but I will make sure everyone I know in Idaho logging looks to these guys before ANY OTHER OPTION.
