OneWorld is a business cooperative created to help independent equipment leasing and finance companies further their common interests and to obtain greater marketing strength and funding power in the industry. OneWorld operates on a cooperative basis and is owned and controlled by its members who use its services. OneWorld's motto is "Strength in numbers," and its goal is to leverage the volume of the co-op to provide members with revenue opportunities, business services, national vendor programs, best practice activities and access to funding sources that may be unobtainable individually.

Membership qualifications require a commitment to the broker/lessor equipment leasing and finance industry, strong consistent leadership and a willingness to share experiences with like-minded industry participants.
During 2008, OneWorld members originated equipment finance transactions of nearly $400 million for its customers and vendor-partners.
