SALT LAKE CITY - s4story -- Equipment Leases Inc., a national direct lender, has launched its Private Equity Equipment Financing service page, providing private equity sponsors and portfolio company leadership teams with insights into funding operational capital expenditures without diluting equity or disrupting existing credit facilities.

The page explains how equipment-specific financing can support portfolio companies across the private equity lifecycle, from post-acquisition upgrades to growth expansion and operational improvements ahead of an exit. By structuring transactions secured primarily by the equipment being financed, Equipment Leases enables sponsors to deploy capital while preserving enterprise-level borrowing capacity.

"We work with our customers as partners, not as just another lender," said Traci Dolphin, President of Equipment Leases Inc. "Our flexibility allows us to structure deals that fit the customer's unique situation and help them get the equipment they need."

The expanded resource reflects the rapid growth of private equity over the past decade. Global private equity assets under management have risen from roughly $1.48 trillion in 2010 to nearly $10 trillion by 2025, while the number of U.S. companies owned by private equity firms has grown from about 1,900 in 2000 to more than 12,000.

To support this growth, Equipment Leases has established a dedicated institutional desk and allocated significant capital to serve the CAPEX needs of private equity portfolio companies.

Private equity sponsors often partner with Equipment Leases because its financing structures align with the pace and complexity of PE transactions. Equipment-only collateral structures help keep capital stacks clean, while operating lease options can provide balance sheet flexibility under modern accounting standards. The company also works alongside existing lenders as a bank-complementary financing partner.

Equipment Leases finances revenue-generating equipment across industries frequently targeted by private equity investors, including:

• Advanced manufacturing and automation
• Medical technology and diagnostics
• Pharmaceutical and life sciences production
• Industrial services and construction
• Energy and power generation
• Food processing and packaging
• Transportation and logistics

"At the end of the day, we're not just lenders, we're deal-makers who help businesses move forward," Zarbock added.
