Financing for Science and Industry

Financing for Science and Industry (FSI), later known as Financing for Science International, Inc., was a specialized financial services company that provided equipment leasing and financing solutions for the medical and scientific research sectors. Based in Farmington, Connecticut, the company focused on high-tech medical equipment, particularly diagnostic imaging systems such as MRI and CT scanners. FSI played a crucial role in the healthcare industry by enabling hospitals and research institutions to acquire expensive, state-of-the-art technology through tailored financing programs. The company went public in 1994 and was eventually acquired by the Finova Group. Its operations were instrumental in supporting the growth of medical imaging infrastructure during the late 20th century.
