Reclaiming Value in Equipment Finance: 2025 Operations Trends You Can’t Afford to Miss

Trends Brief

Did you know that equipment finance organizations are losing up to 5% of their net investment at end-of-term due to manual renewals and residual leakage? That’s margin left on the table at a time when compliance costs and credit scrutiny are rising.

Our new 2025 Equipment Finance Operations Trend Brief uncovers where inefficiencies are eroding profitability—and where leading lessors are investing to reclaim value.

Why This Brief Matters

Equipment finance leaders face an increasingly complex operating environment:

  • Revenue leakage from mis-billed rentals, delayed buy-out invoices, and unclaimed pass-throughs

  • Automation gaps that leave core workflows trapped in spreadsheets

  • Mounting regulatory pressure, with 90% of compliance leaders expecting greater CECL/OCC scrutiny through 2027

The opportunity? Free your team from low-value, manual work and redeploy resources toward credit analytics, residual optimization, and growth initiatives.
