Equus Resources Launches Doctor Funding Program

Equus Resources, Inc. (OTC: EQUR) ("Equus") announced today that it is launching its Doctor Funding Program this month. This Program provides financings for physicians, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists and other medical professionals. The financing options include unsecured (signature), working capital, and debt consolidation loans, equipment financing and leasing, facility improvement and expansion financing, commercial real estate loans, new practice financing, and practice purchase loans. Loan amounts from $10,000 to $5 million are available. There are no upfront application fees and the Program is backed by two billion dollar banks and large institutional investment funds.

Equus is launching its Doctor Funding Program in its core area of operations, the southeastern United States but will have the ability to expand beyond that territory.

In making this announcement, Bert Watson, Equus CEO, commented: "We should be able to generate very handsome fees from this program. We have tested the waters with a number of doctors and the response has been extremely positive. We have been working diligently with several large financial institutions over the past several months to be approved to market this program."
