Explaining the major lessor groups in the United States and the advantage a captive has in a leasing arrangement.

Lessors in the United States are primarily divided into three groups: banks, captives, and independents. A captive's point-of-sale advantage makes it easier to find leasing clients. As soon as a parent receives a potential order, its leasing subsidiary may devise a lease financing plan.
