Customer Reviews

Equipment Leasing
A primer on the law of sales and leases under Articles 2 and 2A of the UCC. Very informative introduction into an industry that can be profitiable for both Lessors and Lessees.

Incredible Amounts of Info Inside!
This is an excellent book for anyone who wishes to know EVERYTHING about leases and leasing. It covers how they began and all the different types and I am only half way through with the book at the current time. I would recommend it for those who wish to be on either side of a lease. However for those not in the business it could be some dry reading in the beginning.
