YachtCloser launches new financial services division

YachtCloser has announced the launch of its new YachtCloser Financial services division. YCF is fully integrated with the YachtCloser system to provide specialized, easily accessible financial services to yacht dealers and brokers and their customers.

“YCF is one more value-added member benefit that we provide to our brokerage customers,” said Brad Parker, president and founder of YachtCloser Financial. “No matter what size or type of boat your customer is purchasing, new or pre-owned YCF will find the best, most competitive loan program to meet their needs.”

Through YCF, brokers and dealers have instant access to:

• Competitive loan programs offered by major marine lenders
• Experienced marine finance officers with yacht brokerage knowledge
• A custom-designed, mobile-friendly credit application for their company website to help drive traffic.

As part of this announcement, YachtCloser has appointed Jennifer Meyers as finance manager for YachtCloser Financial. Meyers, who previously served as an account executive for Seacoast Marine Finance and as a sales executive for Offshore Financial Corporation, brings a unique blend of experience in both the yachting and B2B financial sectors to her new position at YachtCloser Financial. In keeping with YachtCloser’s pioneering role in offering the latest tools in digital technology to the yacht brokerage industry, Meyers also has a proven track record in IT and web-based solutions development.

“I am very excited about being part of such a forward-thinking team utilizing cutting-edge technology. This is really a game-changer for the industry and I am thrilled to continue using my finance experience to enhance what YachtCloser has already started with YachtCloser Financial,” said Meyers.

“We are so pleased to have Jennifer Meyers join the YachtCloser Financial team, bringing over 10 years of marine financing experience and a passion for technology. She’s a perfect fit,” said Parker. “She will draw on her extensive background to help YachtCloser Financial set new standards in the industry for concierge-level service and simple closings for brokers and their clients.”
