NORTHBROOK, IL – Donlen Corporation has formed a strategic alliance with Innovative Funding Services (IFS). The Donlen and IFS partnership will help ensure that buyers are getting quality vehicles and an easy, streamlined financing option, the companies said.
"IFS is all about providing quality service in the automotive industry and when remarketing a fleet the size of ours, we need partners that can move quickly, provide flexibility and make sure all the title work and documentation is correct," said Vice President of Remarketing for Donlen Gus Xamplas. "With IFS we know it will be done right. In these tight times we value the quick funding of transactions that IFS provides."
IFS offers one-stop shopping for fleet customers and partners with top-ranking national lenders to give customers exceptional financing options. The IFS financing process is almost seamless for the customer and provides a fresh, streamlined approach to fleet financing. In addition to individual loans, IFS also offers commercial loans.
Tim Janssen, president of IFS said, "The partnership with Donlen Corporation reaffirms the value IFS can provide to fleet lessors when remarketing their vehicles. Purchasers of these vehicles want personal service, a convenient process and often 100 percent financing, all aspects of the program we provide."
