As this is the time of the year when we often look back and reflect on what has transpired over the last 12 months, the staff of Equipment Finance Advisor takes this occasion to do the same. With the new year rapidly approaching, we are always interested in taking a look at which articles in our industry from the past year captured our readers’ interest the most.

In that light, we reviewed all our content from the past year utilizing website metrics to determine which five articles received the greatest number of “points and clicks” from our readers.

It is in this spirit that we offer Equipment Finance Advisor’s top five articles for your discovery, edification or at the very least, your amusement.
