According to the not-for-profit association, its mission is “to
provide a service to the captive sales financing subsidiaries and
divisions of equipment manufacturing companies by helping to
establish a favourable operating environment”.

Thus far, the body already comprises major captives such as MAN
Financial Services, Xerox Global Leasing and Pitney Bowes. The
day-to-day management will be looked after by The Alta Group and
International Advisory Associates, while the association’s
executive committee will be chaired by Elliot Lennick, MD of MAN
Financial Services.
