Peachtree Group Equipment Finance Division Posts Strong Early Momentum and Expands Platform for 2026

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Peachtree Group (“Peachtree”) announced continued momentum within Peachtree’s Equipment Finance division following the platform’s launch in October 2025, highlighted by nearly $30 million in closed transactions during its first full quarter of operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, Peachtree Equipment Finance closed $29,795,000 in capital lease and fair market value transactions across a diversified mix of industries. Financing activity included equipment supporting transportation logistics, technology infrastructure and material handling operations, underscoring the platform’s ability to serve essential use assets across multiple sectors.

“Launched just months ago, our equipment finance division has quickly demonstrated strong demand for flexible nonbank capital,” said Greg Friedman, Peachtree’s CEO and managing principal. “As traditional banks continue to retreat from equipment lending, we see a growing opportunity to provide reliable financing solutions backed by real underwriting discipline and certainty of execution.”

The division was established to address a widening gap in the equipment leasing market as banks reduce exposure to middle-market borrowers. The platform focuses on structuring capital leases and FMV transactions tailored to the operational needs of growing businesses.

Building on its early success, Peachtree plans to expand the division aggressively in 2026, increasing origination capacity and broadening industry coverage as demand accelerates. The firm expects equipment finance to play an increasingly important role within its broader private credit ecosystem.

“Our objective is to scale responsibly while staying focused on asset quality and long-term client relationships,” said Roger Johnson, executive vice president and principal, Equipment Finance. “This is exactly the type of market dislocation where experienced private credit platforms can step in and provide meaningful solutions.”
