MAZO Capital Solutions recently attended the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA) 64th Annual Convention, held from October 26–28, 2025, in Marco Island, FL. CEO John Pfister, CLFP, and Executive Vice President Dan Krajewski represented MAZO, engaging with industry leaders to discuss the key trends and strategies that will define the future of equipment financing.
Harnessing Industry Momentum for Client Success
The overall theme of the convention was the powerful momentum building within the equipment finance industry. For MAZO, this reinforced our strategy of accelerating access to capital solutions for small businesses across the nation.
John Pfister focused on how MAZO can best translate industry advancements into direct benefits for our clients and vendor financing partners. Key insights centered on:
The Power of Certainty: With the permanence of key tax incentives (like the Section 179 deduction) being a major discussion point, the MAZO team reaffirmed its commitment to guiding clients on maximizing these benefits. Knowing how to leverage the IRS Section 179 code is essential for business growth, and it remains a core value-add service for our clients.
Technology & Speed: Discussions highlighted the rapid integration of AI and APIs in the lending process. This directly validates MAZO’s investment in digital platforms to provide faster, more transparent equipment funding and credit decisions for our customers.
With his extensive background in capital markets and a nearly three-decade history of involvement with the ELFA, Dan Krajewski led conversations on strategic industry positioning and robust financial practices.
The ELFA Annual Convention provided invaluable context for MAZO Capital Solutions as we plan for 2026. The intelligence gathered on policy, innovation, and economic outlook will be directly applied to enhance our vendor financing program and improve the client experience.
We are energized by the collective commitment to progress shown by the industry and look forward to implementing these new insights to continue our mission: to be the trusted partner that provides the essential equipment funding for small business success.
