A survey of 300 middle market companies that use commercial finance for cars, trucks, office equipment, agricultural equipment and plant and machinery – the middle market is defined as businesses with a yearly turnover between $0.5 million and $100 million. An additional survey of 100 finance brokers, car dealers and other financial intermediaries is also undertaken.

This two-phased approach assists in providing a comprehensive picture of the commercial finance market and an assessment of the relative position of major finance providers both among their agents and the users of their products and services. The report includes a comprehensive covering of the various types of finance used, profiling of the organisations using the various finance types and ratings of the major finance providers.

This is our 7th edition of this biennial report.
