Ride2own™ was founded with the core principle of providing an affordable, fair and flexible method to automobile ownership. During one of the most challenging economic times in our nation's history, unemployment rose to levels not seen in decades and credit markets froze. It became increasingly difficult and very costly to finance the basic need of reliable transportation. We all know that in order to obtain a job and keep it, we all need reliable transportation.

At the same time we realized that the Auto Industry was a mature industry, run by old school people with very little innovation doing the same thing and using the same methodologies over and over again (what is referred to in the industry as "Flipping Metal").

We knew that there has to be a better way to provide people in need of reliable transportation a good product and service, without them having to fear overpaying for an inferior product (i.e. salvaged cars with 100,000 plus miles) and poor service (i.e. "As Is").

Out of this reality, it became apparent to us that a different approach is needed to allow anyone in need of reliable transportation, to secure the path to car ownership with confidence and a peace of mind even during the most turbulent times.

The founders of Ride2own™ have under their belt decades of experience in a variety of business ventures that encompass finance, accounting, technology and operations.

Their deep understanding of how to effectively leverage business technology combined with their innovative and unique business model enables them to push the envelope in the lease-to-own market.
