Your Membership Matters.

The Canadian Finance & Leasing Association (CFLA) is the only organization advocating the interests of Canada’s asset-based financing, vehicle and equipment leasing industry. Through the Association, Members can shape the industry’s future within the competitive financial services sector.

The CFLA strategically advocates for members:

2. Industry Intelligence:

We provide timely information about legislative, legal, accounting and tax changes that may impact your business.
