CDF is a leading provider of higher technology equipment leasing and financing services to merchants, financial institutions, telecommunications companies and many other types of businesses throughout the United States.

Originally established in 1985, CDF was founded by Chip Nichols with the goal of helping businesses overcome budgetary constraints associated with the capital expenditures of buying equipment.

Given the rapid technological advances that can quickly make equipment outdated or obsolete, leasing provides a more cost-effective way for businesses to obtain the latest equipment, remain competitive, and use their financial resources wisely.

CDF's client list represents many of the largest and most respected companies throughout the U.S. These companies are of all sizes, from nationwide retail chains to single location local merchants. Our list also includes Acquirers such as financial institutions and ISOs, some who are our lessee as well as others where their merchant is our lessee. Our programs are designed for your markets, regardless of your focus on credit/debit payments, prepaid applications and check guarantee/authorization and remote deposit capture. We customize our programs to fit your clients markets and needs.
