"Excellence is the gradual result of always wanting to do better"

– Pat Riley, NBA Coach

At First Star Capital, we strive to do everything in our ability to meet our clients' needs and help them become more successful in their businesses.  Some requests for financing are much simpler and easier to accommodate than others, but still we give every transaction the same personal attention and due diligence it deserves.  Our mission is to help our customers and business partners accomplish their goals and it is always rewarding to watch a company blossom after we have assisted with a financing request.  Don't just take our word for it; see what our clients are saying:

“I’d like to thank you for working with us in recently setting up our lease. As you know, after talking with several other leasing companies, I checked the Better Business Bureau and found First Star Capital. I was pleased and relieved to talk with you and find someone we could trust and work with effectively. I appreciated your consideration, thoroughness, professionalism, patience, and level of communication during the entire process. I know it wasn’t always easy, since we were new to the leasing process! I would certainly recommend you without hesitation to other businesses with leasing needs.”  - President, California Start Up Restaurant

“Thank you for expediting my lease packages. I specifically appreciate your willingness to go to bat for me. Clearly your established relationships helped me to get my PO to the Vendor in record time and bypass some corporate red tape. I also appreciate you responsiveness and transparency in helping me compare apples to apples. When other lenders offered crazy low rates that they couldn’t deliver on (yes, more than one lender!), you simply offered a low rate and stood by it. Looking forward to my next fair, quick and simple equipment acquisition.”  - Owner, California Motion Picture Services Company

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for partnering with us on our recent lease agreement for the purchase of pallet racking. The process of application and approval were handled without any problems whatsoever. This was our first lease project using First Star and I must say it was handled very professionally and in a timely manner. You and your team must be commended for making this transaction as smooth and painless as it truly was. I look forward to using First Star again as I continue to grow.”  - President / CEO, Wisconsin Cheese Producer

“Thank you for assisting us on our recent purchase of equipment for our biodiesel facility in California. You and your staff were extremely professional, competent, and capable in assisting us with this financing. It was a pleasure working with First Star and we look forward to working with you in the future. Keep up the good work.” 

- Director of Finance, Washington Biodiesel Company
