Hanover Group Launches United Finance To Capture Technology Leasing Market
Hanover Group Limited, New Zealand's largest privately owned finance company has expanded its corporate portfolio with
the launch of United Finance Limited.
The new investment company provides funding for Leasing Solutions Limited, another Hanover Group business subsidiary
owning $120 million in leases and backed by more than a decade of proven experience in the leasing market.
United Finance offers clients the opportunity to invest in secured first ranking debenture stock that finances Leasing
Solutions in the rapidly expanding office equipment and technology leasing markets.
Hanover Group CEO, Kerry Finnigan says the huge diversity of Leasing Solutions is a major benefit to investors.
"With 20,000 lease contracts involving 13,500 customers - our diverse investment strategy within the office equipment
market offers stability and opportunities that will accelerate profit growth." United Finance will capitalise on Leasing
Solutions' successful business partnerships with blue chip brands such as U-Bix, Cogent, Advantage and Kachingo® - New
Zealand's largest customer loyalty programme.
On April 3rd United Finance rolls out a national advertising campaign promoting its initial term deposit product, the
first of many highly competitive investment opportunities to be released.
The distinctively novel campaign features a senior citizen riding a Harley Davidson motorcycle promoting 8.48% interest
based on a minimum $1000 two-year term deposit.
Mr Finnigan is confident of United Finance's enduring success as the management team is the same winning combination
that helped Elders Finance achieve substantial growth over the past few years.
"At United Finance we believe investing is about simplicity, flexibility, information and customer service. Combine
these elements with our highly experienced team and investors can expect secure, stable and rewarding investment
returns."
