🚌 $1,397,123 Financing provided for the acquisition of additional buses, helping a repeat customer expand its fleet to support new school transportation routes and increased service demand.

🕹️ $33,915 Financing provided for vending equipment to support the opening of a new micro family entertainment center, combining arcade games, collectibles, food, and beverage offerings in one interactive space.

Today, we’re proud to celebrate National CLFP Day and the 18 KLC team members who have earned their Certified Lease & Finance Professional designation! 🎉

The CLFP credential represents a strong commitment to knowledge, professionalism, and continued growth within the equipment finance industry. We’re grateful for the expertise and dedication these team members bring to KLC, our customers, and our partners every day. 💼✨

Strong teams start with investing in people. 💙

Members of the KLC Financial team joined industry peers in Nashville, Tennessee, for ELFA’s Power of People Summit, an opportunity to connect, learn, and explore how we can better support the people who move our industry forward.
From workplace culture and inclusion to mentorship and leading through change, the conversations offered plenty to bring back to KLC. A few takeaways that stood out:

• Culture is shaped by everyday interactions. Listening, recognizing different experiences, and making it safe to speak up help people feel valued and supported.
• Mentorship matters at every career stage. We all have experience to share and room to learn from someone else.
• As the workforce evolves, leadership must evolve with it. Building trust, providing clear direction, and encouraging new ideas can strengthen both connection and accountability.

At KLC, investing in our people helps us grow as a team and better serve our customers, partners, and communities. We’re excited to bring these conversations home and keep learning together.

Thank you to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association, the speakers, and our industry colleagues for sharing your perspectives and making meaningful connections possible. Nashville was a wonderful backdrop! 🎶

We had such a great time in Clearwater last week with so many people across the family entertainment industry! 🌴

It was a busy week between the IATP Conference and Slick City’s City Con Convention, filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and time with the park owners, vendors, and industry partners who keep this space moving forward. 🎢

We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an energetic industry and look forward to supporting the growth ahead. Thanks to everyone who spent time with us! 🌟

🌟 Recognizing This Month’s KLC Standouts

Another month, another opportunity to celebrate the people who make KLC what it is. This month, we’re recognizing two team members for the experience, relationships, and dedication they bring to the team.

✨ Employee of the Month – Kim Bechtold-Kee

It’s been a big month for Kim! Along with being named Employee of the Month, she celebrated 8 years with KLC and her birthday. There’s a lot to celebrate!

As our Accounts Payable Lead, Kim is an important part of keeping things moving behind the scenes. Her experience, attention to detail, and willingness to jump in and help make her someone our team can consistently count on. Eight years at KLC is an accomplishment in itself, and we’re grateful for everything Kim has contributed along the way.

Happy work anniversary, happy birthday, and congratulations on Employee of the Month, Kim! 🎉

👏 Sales Person of the Month – Lesley Farmer, CLFP

Another month at the top for Lesley! While her results continue to speak for themselves, a big part of what makes Lesley successful is the relationships she’s built throughout the family entertainment industry.

She’s been especially busy traveling and attending industry events lately, giving her the opportunity to connect face-to-face with park owners and operators she works with and helps finance their attractions, equipment, and growth projects. Being present in the industry and understanding these businesses firsthand allows Lesley to be more than just a financing resource. She truly gets to know the people, their parks, and what they’re working toward.

Congratulations, Kim and Lesley! We’re lucky to have you both on Team KLC. 👏
