“As our Equipment Finance team continues to grow across our footprint, the trend demands experienced professionals who can help clients navigate the financing needed for capital equipment through access to national and diverse sources of funding,” said Chris Bucher, who leads the equipment finance business for Hancock and Whitney. “We feel extremely fortunate to have identified and secured another expert equipment finance professional in Dick, who will undoubtedly bring new, customized financial solutions for clients across our Florida footprint.”
Hancock and Whitney’s equipment finance company serves middle-market and corporate clients by financing and leasing revenue-producing capital equipment.

Equipment finance can range from work boats, business aviation, and trucking to railcars, cranes, and medical and construction equipment. Through equipment financing, Hancock and Whitney can offer clients alternatives for capital preservation, capital expenditure planning, new-market growth, and possible tax and accounting considerations.
