AUSTIN, Texas — Innovative Funding Services, a financing company for lessors and fleet management businesses, recently highlighted how last year's facility relocation has propelled it to significant growth in the past quarter.

Company executives revealed additional partner opportunities and internal initiatives led IFS to a growth rate of more than 33 percent.

Rob McKie, the chief operating officer of IFS, cheered the performance, especially in light of how turbulent the industry has been because of recessionary economic conditions.

"We are seeing some turbulent times in auto financing. Through a lot of hard work by our team members and partner companies we have been able to help thousands of consumers obtain loans and service contracts on many desirable pre-owned vehicles," McKie contended.

"Additionally we work to provide loan decisions within hours and offer up to 100-percent financing for our qualified applicants," he continued.

IFS said that it can coordinate with lessors and fleet management companies to streamline the process of purchasing a vehicle at the end of a lease.

"By working with a network of lenders, our customers benefit from lower interest rates, flexible terms, along with the ability to finance taxes and fees into our transactions," McKie emphasized.

"IFS also offers state of the art electronic delivery of documentation to complete the customer experience. We can provide access to both commercial and individual loans," he added.

IFS president Tim Janssen praised the efforts of McKie that's helped the company achieve its improving growth marks.

"Rob McKie's high level of performance over the past year and his focus on growing the company with high quality loan products has been nothing short of amazing," Janssen declared.

"Even more exciting is that all of it was accomplished without compromising the personal customer service our clients expect from IFS," he concluded.
