My family was in the Citrus Fruit processing business for beverages in Northern Iran by the Caspian Sea.
I am now married with 3 children - a pair of 11 year old twins, boy and girl and another 3 year old girl.
Grew up playing soccer every opportunity we got and later developed a passion for Skiing, both on water and snow.

What Clients Say
-
"Ardy Barahman is an expert..."
Paul Busch - CEO Spectrum Productions Minneapolis, MN
"Ardy Barahman is an expert. he knows the market top to bottom, He takes time to thoroughly understand the needs of his clients, to the point where he will recommend to them the very best solution for their current position, even if it doesn't involve his immediate services. This is the mark of true integrity. We have financed millions thru Ardy. He puts programs in place for his clients to win. Equipment Leasing is a mine field. We had many other leasing company nightmares before we met Ardy. Weather it's conventional bank financing or equipment leasing needed, I would not approach any lender without calling Ardy first. I have seven attorneys. For financing, you only need one Ardy Barahman. You cant place a value on his knowledge and insight." -
"Knowledgeable, efficient, and completely ethical..."
Frank Mayor - CEO Cinevision International Los Angeles, CA
"It is hard to find someone in the equipment leasing business who is knowledgeable, efficient, and completely ethical, all at the same time! Ardy is such a person and I would not hesitate to recommend him highly." -
"Perfect-fit leasing solutions..."
Peter Dam Madsen - CFO Martin Professional Sunrise, FL
"I have worked with Ardy while he has been with his two latest companies (Quail and Trinity) and from both positions he offered great value to me and my customers. Apart from his very strong and friendly personality, I know Ardy as an executive who can deliver perfect-fit leasing solutions to a very broad variety of customers. He found solutions that could fit even the most unlikely candidate. And when a customer could not qualify (our customers in that company were often quite disorganized on the financial side) he would be the first to bring the news to the customer in a respectful manner - always leaving the door open for future business. Ardy was instrumental in developing and implementing a company tailored leasing program, which is still in existence today."
