Equilease, the leasing subsidiary of Allied Corporation, is said to be available, though it may be attempting a leveraged buy-out. Ingersoll Rand’s equipment finance unit, too, may be for sale.
The broken-up parts of AT&T have been building up leasing capability: AT&T itself has hired Tom Wajnert, from USLeasing, to develop AT&T Credit.
