Lending company NextGear Capital Inc. — created through the merger of Manheim Automotive Financial Services and Dealer Services Corp. — announced today its expansion of operations into Canada.

In addition to enhancing service levels for dealers, the floor plan company plans on expanding its field sales and service operations throughout Canada, officials shared.

The company contends this will benefit all NextGear dealer customers by providing them a dedicated representative who will be available to visit them at their place of business.

“We are extremely excited to bring NextGear Capital to Canada,” said Brian Geitner, president of Next Gear Capital. “We are building an industry-serving floor plan company on the solid foundations of two great industry leaders with strong cultures of customer focus, innovation and service. The long-term potential of this market is enormous, and we look forward to bringing our products and services to Canada.”

And the company debuted in the U.S. earlier this month. See the Auto Remarketing story here for more information on the company’s U.S. operations.
