Real customers: Each retail contract is backed by a real customer who makes payments on the loan, rather than a derivative product in the stock market. This provides a more tangible investment opportunity for investors.
Experienced management: The owners of EZ AUTO Capital, German Jackson and Ysmael Bouchard, have years of experience in the auto industry and have successfully owned and operated EZ AUTO since 2017. This provides a level of expertise and trustworthiness that is not always found in other investment opportunities.
