Columbia, MO — December 11, 2024 — HomePerk, a leading fintech innovator helping employees overcome barriers to homeownership, is pleased to announce a new partnership with EquipmentShare, marking another step in expanding access to meaningful financial wellness benefits in the workplace.
Founded in 2015 and based in Columbia, MO, EquipmentShare is the fastest-growing equipment solutions provider in the U.S. specializing in construction equipment rental, sales, and technology services. The company has grown into a team of over 6,900 employees across an expanding footprint of 326 prime locations across 44 states.
Employees at EquipmentShare will now have access to zero-interest financing * through HomePerk for down payment and closing cost assistance — two of the most common challenges in achieving homeownership. This employer-enabled home financing assistance from HomePerk is designed to support EquipmentShare’s eligible employees across all of its locations nationwide.
“We’re excited to partner with EquipmentShare to bring this transformative benefit to their team,” said Josh Kaplan, founder and CEO at HomePerk. “When I was personally hanging up HomePerk signs at EquipmentShare headquarters an employee walked up and said I guess I get to buy my home this year and scanned the QR code and got started on her journey. This was such a cool experience to witness”
The HomePerk solution is a customizable, cost-efficient and ready-to-deploy employer-sponsored program. Qualified employees are offered financing behind the employee’s primary mortgage, structured to be repayment-friendly over five-years and interest-free. This approach helps turn qualified renters into confident first-time buyers.
By integrating HomePerk into its employee benefits package, EquipmentShare is reinforcing its commitment to long-term financial health, employee retention, and inclusive wealth-building.
