Who we are

Equipped Capital Partners is revolutionizing how athletic programs access world-class training, recovery, and facility equipment. We are founder owned and have 55 years of combined experience that spans commercial real estate, investment banking, venture capital, and equipment finance, we understand both the ambitions of athletic programs and the financial realities they face.

We're not just a financing company, we're partners in your program's success. We work with college athletic departments that refuse to compromise on excellence but need a smarter way to fund their competitive edge.

Our Mission

To foster meaningful relationships that cultivate a supportive network where athletic programs feel empowered to achieve audacious goals.

ECP Advantge

Without ECP: Programs deploy 100% cash upfront, drain reserves, wait months for approvals, and miss competitive windows.

With ECP: Programs deploy 2-5% per month, preserve maximum cash for operations, gain fast internal approval, and create predictable annual operating expenses.

The result? Programs instantly elevate their recruiting proposition, leapfrog the slow budget-draining process of traditional procurement, and dedicate maximum resources to attracting and retaining the best coaching staff, athletes, and fans.

Who we are

We provide flexible equipment leasing solutions that allow athletic programs to double, triple, or even quadruple their annual capital allocation without depleting cash reserves. Whether you need:

  • Training Equipment – Performance equipment that builds strength, speed, and competitive edge, from sport-specific gear to cutting-edge technology

  • Recovery Systems – Advanced recovery systems that accelerate healing and reduce downtime, including compression therapy, hydrotherapy, and regeneration tools

  • Renovation & Facilities – Complete facility upgrades from climate control to premium environments that attract top talent

We're equipment agnostic. If it helps your program compete at the highest level, we'll finance it.

What Makes us Different

Speed Over Bureaucracy
Traditional funding requires bond approvals, fundraising cycles, and lengthy committee reviews. We move at the speed of your ambition and, once a partnership has been developed, can approve purchases within days of putting in a request.

Preserve Your Capital Where It Matters Most
The House Settlement has potentially created a significant increase in operational cost for Division I schools. Programs need every dollar for NIL, coaching staff, and talent development. Our leasing model keeps your cash free for recruiting and retaining champions while still accessing elite equipment.

One Partner, Endless Possibilities
Unlike vendor financing that locks you into single manufacturers with separate contracts, we provide access to a pool of capital for any equipment from any vendor. New technology hits the market? Pivot immediately. Your program's needs change? We adapt with you.

No Impact on Borrowing Capacity
We keep your university's traditional bond capacity free for high-priority facility projects like stadiums and arenas—the appreciating assets that deserve debt. Equipment leasing for depreciating assets just makes sense.
