PRIMUS Financial Services has created a commercial lending division, PRIMUS Commercial, to assist light, medium and heavy-duty vehicle dealerships in providing finance and lease solutions for commercial customers.

Already established in the consumer vehicle financing industry, PRIMUS Financial Services is now ready to provide financing for all types of commercial-use vehicles, according to Mike Kehres, PRIMUS Commercial business development manager. "Working with a wide range of customers from small business owners to large fleet buyers, PRIMUS Commercial provides a full range of vehicle financing and leasing programs to satisfy nearly every vehicle financing need," Kehres said.

"Our products are designed to meet the needs of any size fleet, from a single van for a small heating and cooling business to a 1,000 unit fleet for a large national daily rental company," Kehres said.

"We recognize commercial customers have unique needs and their time is money. One of the most important things we can do for a business is to help make the vehicle procurement process as seamless and efficient as possible," continued Kehres. "Our sales professionals help customers take the guesswork out of choosing the best financing option for their business. And we provide flexibility not only in our financing options, but in the products we finance as well. We finance commercial vehicles. All makes. All models."
