CapEx Finance Index September 2025:
Demand Rose for a Third Consecutive Month

Confidence Remains High

The latest CapEx Finance Index (CFI) showed that demand for equipment strengthened for a third consecutive month in September, despite continued political and economic uncertainty. Growth in total new business volumes (NBV) is expected to reach $114 billion in 2025, one of the strongest years on record, and should benefit from additional Fed rate cuts heading into the holiday season.


Leigh Lytle, President and CEO at ELFA. commented, “Despite the government shutdown's delay of key economic data, our latest CFI data indicates that equipment demand was strong at the end of the third quarter. The correction of new business volumes has put the industry on track for one of its best years ever, and financial conditions remain healthy.

“Delinquency and loss rates fell in the latest data and remain consistent with a sector that is unfazed by the turmoil of 2025. With the Fed resuming its easing cycle, I expect demand to remain strong and financial conditions to improve further. That will give the equipment finance industry a lot of momentum heading into 2026.”

Credit approvals continued their upward march. The average credit approval rate rose to 79.2% in September, the highest reading since 2016. The average small ticket approval rate edged down slightly to 82.0%. The rate at banks remained elevated by historical standards, posting a rate of 80.0% in the latest data. The rate at captives fell to 82.9%, while the rate at independents rose to 70.5%.

The Monthly Confidence Index from ELFA’s affiliate, the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation, tracks the sentiment of executives in the industry. The index remains at a heightened level for the fifth consecutive month, relatively unchanged at 60.1 in October from 59.9 in September.

Delinquency and loss rates both declined. The overall delinquency rate reversed course in September, falling by 0.19 percentage points to 1.9%. That’s the lowest level since June and completely reverses the combined 0.19 percentage point increase in July and August.

The average loss and delinquency rates at banks and independents dropped, while the rate at captives was essentially unchanged from the prior month.

Equipment demand increased at its fastest pace in 2025. Total NBV grew by $10.5 billion in September, the largest single-month increase in nine months. The total new volume series tracks the amount of new activity that banks, independents, and captives added in a given month. The strong September increase pushed the forecast for total new volume growth in 2025 to just over $114 billion, down from last year's record pace, but in line with the strong growth experienced in 2022 and 2023.

How Do I Find Out Why I Was Not Hired?
Career Crossroads By Emily Fitzpatrick/RII

Q: I was recently rejected for a job opening. Is it appropriate to ask the company why I was not hired, and if so, how would I go about this?

A: It is appropriate to request feedback from a hiring manager; however, 95% of the time the employer will not share much of their decision-making process with a Candidate. There are many reasons for this, including legal issues. How you request this information is the key – strategically. If you humbly and professionally show a genuine interest in improving your job search skills, a hiring manager may be willing to share some feedback.

Note that an employer will be more likely to provide advice via phone rather than electronically (an email) due to concerns that any written response might be used as evidence against them if a hiring decision were to be contested.  

The goal is to initiate a conversation. Send a brief email (sample below) asking if you could schedule a phone appointment to get some constructive input. To prepare for this conversation, develop questions regarding the interview itself, e.g. "Do you think I could enhance my interviewing style?", "Were there specific qualifications for this position that I am missing in my background?"

Do not sound bitter or argumentative. Their decision has been made, and you do not want to sound desperate. Remain professional at all times and be appreciative.

SAMPLE EMAIL TO INITIATE A CONVERSATION
Dear ---------------,
Thank you for taking the time to interview me for the --------------- position. I enjoyed our conversations in discussing the organization and position with you. I just received your --------------- (email, note, a phone call) letting me know that I was not selected.

Would you be available for a brief discussion on how I could improve upon my candidacy? Any feedback you could share would be appreciated.

Again, thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
Full Name
Phone
Email

By doing this, you may get some helpful information that will improve your chances of landing a new role. Furthermore, do not hesitate to request consideration within other departments of the company just make sure you demonstrate your strong interest in becoming a part of the organization.
