As the key source of business intelligence that is critical to its member companies, the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association has launched the Knowledge Hub, a one-stop online library that provides easy access to its wide range of industry research and information. The development of the Knowledge Hub was based in part from input provided by ELFA Business Council Steering Committees about the association data, benchmarking and statistical resources that they use and their preferred delivery channel.

The Knowledge Hub comprises ELFA’s most popular industry information, which will be highlighted throughout the year, including:

• 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 dynamic 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

ELFA members provide the foundation of the association’s survey-based research, and their feedback enables benchmarking and predictive, actionable decision-making for businesses in a variety of areas.

“Access to ELFA research and data is one of the primary benefits of being an ELFA member,” said ELFA President and CEO Ralph Petta. “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.”
