New York, NY., June 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCQB: SRCO) today announced that Franklinton, North Carolina is the latest governmental entity to choose Sparta's Municipal Lease Program. With this transaction, Franklinton becomes the fourteenth North Carolina jurisdiction to select Sparta's leasing alternative, rather than continuing to use the traditional "all up-front" payment method.
The Sparta Municipal Lease Program continues to add an increasing number of local governments because it allows municipal authorities greater flexibility in planning and allocating their annual budgets. The Sparta lease lets agencies acquire the equipment they need for less upfront cash outlay, thus freeing up monies for other needs. The Sparta program also accommodates virtually any type of essential equipment that agencies may require, from fire and EMS equipment, to police cruisers and motorcycles, to trucks and busses, to surveillance equipment and tactical vehicles.
Commenting on the transaction, Amy Hill, Government and Fleet Specialist at Butler Chrysler Dodge Jeep of Beaufort, SC, the vendor supplying the vehicles for this lease, said, "The people at Sparta's Municipal Leasing Department are simply great to work with. They handle this kind of leasing arrangement with exceptional knowledge about the dealer's role, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of their involvement."
