The LAH Group began representing clients in 1978 acting as one of the first Buyers Brokers in the infancy of the corporate aviation industry. It started, and still is, a privately held family owned company. As the company grew it secured aviation hangar properties in the Central Florida area. Due to the limited facilities at the time in the corporate aviation industry, the company extended its services to include Aviation Maintenance, pilot training, and aircraft acquisition services to its Corporate Aviation clients. Today, its Aviation Division specializes in Aircraft Appraisals, Insurance Adjusting and Investigation, and Corporate aircraft acquisitions. The company continued to acquire corporate aircraft and other aviation real estate properties and eventually became a licensed Real Estate Brokerage in 1981. The firms Real Estate Division’s main focus was the Florida commercial real estate arena. The rapid economic growth of the 1980’s offered exponential opportunities in both commercial real estate investment properties and corporate aviation assets to both domestic and international clientele.
Subsequently, the firm recognized another profit center in the investment finance arena and began to offer funding for corporate aviation endeavors and commercial real estate properties. Today, the Real Estate and Mortgage Brokerage Divisions enjoy status as a private Investment Banking firm. The Mortgage & Finance Division provides funding and financing for real property, corporate aircraft, and hard equity lending.
In 1986, recognizing the need for other investment vehicles it secured a private software firm and developed its flagship software, “EntryPoint”, to manage its holdings and assets. As the success of EntryPoint became known in the private investment community, it has since been marketed to private investors, financial institutions, and hedge fund managers worldwide. In 1999, it was nominated for the President’s Medal of Technology. As such, it is recognized as the premier choice of investment software. It is currently used by private money managers in 76 countries. Due to its proprietary nature, only 100 copies of EntryPoint are released each year.
