Why Time2

Time2 reads time to: the moment to act on the value of medical equipment.

The 2 also stands for the second life of this equipment, the one we organize. Each family of clients carries its own verb: time2 anticipate for banks and lessors, time2 optimize for rental and leasing companies, time2 prove for manufacturers, time2 certify for advisors and insurers, which in our view describes the direction their action must now take.

The market and financing, brought together in one team

Time2 brings together two careers that rarely cross. Thomas Poirier spent seventeen years inside the secondary market for medical equipment. Olivier Kaeppelin spent twenty-five years advising banks and leasing companies on their business lines and their systems.

The first knows what equipment is worth, who buys it and at what price. The second knows how a credit committee decides, what data it demands and how a file moves through a financial organization.
