Steven Hansen is the Director of Web Operations for Commercial Funding Partners (CFP), a leading provider of structured commercial financing solutions headquartered in Utah, and the founder and CEO of Equipment Leases, Inc. With more than two decades of experience in digital marketing, web operations, and entrepreneurship, Steven has played a pivotal role in reshaping how businesses secure capital for essential equipment.
At CFP, Steven oversees all aspects of digital strategy, web infrastructure, and online presence for both the company and its affiliated platforms, including the nationally recognized EquipmentLeases.com. His responsibilities span website development, online marketing strategy, user experience optimization, and digital compliance, ensuring a seamless, modern, and client-focused digital experience that streamlines access to funding for businesses across industries.
As founder and CEO of Equipment Leases, Inc., Steven recognized early on the need for a digital-first approach in the equipment finance industry. What began as a lead-generating website for industry colleagues quickly evolved into a robust platform connecting business owners directly with funding required for growth and innovation. Under his leadership, Equipment Leases, Inc. has become known for its client-centric model—offering 100% project financing that covers equipment, shipping, installation, and warranties, and providing transparent underwriting that uses only the equipment as collateral. This practical approach delivers solutions for clients in manufacturing, medical, pharmaceutical, and renewable energy sectors, especially when traditional banks are unable to help.
Steven’s vision replaced outdated “smile and dial” sales tactics with a seamless digital experience, empowering clients to present their financials effectively and become strong candidates for capital markets. His blend of technical expertise and client-first mindset ensures every digital initiative strengthens the reputation of CFP and its subsidiaries as trusted partners in commercial finance.
Today, Equipment Leases, Inc. is recognized for its speed, reliability, and ability to finance projects up to $100 million. Steven’s leadership continues to position both Commercial Funding Partners and Equipment Leases, Inc. at the forefront of innovation, accessibility, and client engagement in the equipment leasing and structured finance marketplace, attracting CFOs and business owners nationwide who value expertise and digital excellence.
