| SPARTA EXPANDS ONLINE POWERSPORTS FINANCING
|
| Agreement with netLoan Funding Positions Sparta as Preferred Lender |
| New York; October 30, 2006 |
Sparta Commercial Services, Inc., the New York–based financial services company exclusively dedicated to the powersports industry, today announced that it has launched a major new initiative in cooperation with netLoan Funding, LLC. netLoan manages a consortium of specialty lenders through its operation of a multi-asset finance portal that is linked to internet auction and sale websites.
Although the agreement between Sparta and netLoan was concluded in May, the required interface between the IT platforms of the two companies was accomplished in September, followed by several weeks of beta testing.
Commenting on the establishment of Sparta’s latest strategic alliance, Anthony Havens, Sparta’s CEO, said, "We consider this opportunity to be a particularly significant milestone in Sparta’s growth, and a further demonstration of our commitment to continue expanding the financing opportunities for the powersports industry."
According to Havens, "netLoan Funding requires that the lenders participating in the netLoan consortium strictly adhere to certain rigid requirements concerning customer service, data security, reporting and marketing, and we are especially proud of the fact that due to our strong internal controls and our advanced proprietary iPLUSTM point of sale decisioning and operating system, Sparta was selected to join this prestigious group of financial services providers."
Pursuant to the agreement, Sparta’s financing and leasing products will now appear as a funding option on the netLoan Funding platform. Accordingly, consumers interested in obtaining a secured loan or lease for the purchase of motorcycles, ATV’s, and scooters will be routed through the netLoan Funding website to Sparta’s easy on-line credit application, where their application will be automatically decisioned by Sparta’s iPLUS™ system and, subject to credit approval, will be able to obtain a loan or lease commitment from Sparta within minutes.
Havens then added, "Given the quality of the internet auction and sale site currently using the netLoan Funding service, this new affiliation clearly represents a tremendous opportunity for Sparta, and we couldn’t be more enthusiastic."
"Now that all the technical work and the beta testing have been successfully completed," Havens continued, "we are rolling out the program gradually, adding ten states per week, with the expectation that the program will be fully operational and available in all fifty states within thirty days. To be associated with the outstanding people at netLoan Funding and their affiliates is an important achievement for Sparta and we look forward to a long and highly beneficial relationship for all concerned."
