After working for many industry leading leasing companies over the past 20 years, brothers Rick and Skip Wehner decided that it was time to start their own leasing company. They believed that the Colorado and surrounding Rocky Mountain Region was an underserved market with regards to equipment leasing. They believed the name of the new company should reflect their commitment to this local market. With Denver being knows nationally as the Mile High City, they decided on 5280 Financial (5,280 feet in a mile).
In mid 2011, 5280 Financial merged with Pinnacle Capital of Tacoma, WA. This acquisition has expanded our funding capabilities within the marketplace.
Shortly after opening their doors, Dan Harris, a leasing sales veteran who had recently transplanted his family from California to Colorado was brought on board to bolster the company’s sales efforts. His impact was felt immediately and shortly after coming on board, earned an ownership stake in the company.
Dan is a long time bowling enthusiast. In fact, his first job was being a “Porter” at a 30 lane center in Southern California. After some initial research and discussions with friends in the industry, it was decided that 5280 Financial would launch their Bowling Center Finance group to help the bowling industry grow.
We continue to grow our company by building solid business relationships built on mutual respect and actively listening to our customers needs and differentiating ourselves on our commitment to not only find new relationships and opportunities, but to continually cultivate the ones we have! |
