On this episode of the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray sits down with Amy Wagner, founder of American Financial Partners, a leading company specializing in equipment financing and leasing for businesses across various industries. With over 25 years of experience, Amy is a trailblazer in a male-dominated field and has been recognized as one of the top women in equipment financing. Her journey from working in equipment leasing at U.S. Bank to becoming a successful entrepreneur herself is a story of resilience, innovation, and dedication to helping businesses scale through smart financial solutions.
Catherine and Amy discuss the importance of equipment financing for entrepreneurs, how businesses can use leasing as a tool to preserve cash flow, and the different industries that can benefit from these services—including construction, creative services, transportation, and even home-based businesses like quilting and embroidery. Amy explains how financing works, the differences between credit-based lending and asset-based lending, and why businesses might choose equipment financing over traditional bank loans. She also shares real-world success stories, illustrating how American Financial Partners has helped businesses acquire essential equipment, expand operations, and increase profitability. Whether you’re a startup looking for your first piece of equipment or an established company seeking to scale, this episode is packed with valuable insights for entrepreneurs navigating the financing landscape.
