Background: I would like to find out how to finance (auto loan) vans
for a rental service. I need a lender that will let me do auto loans
for about $150,000 in vans that I will run as a rental fleet.

I do not want a small business loan, I want to finance the cars and
have the note for each held by the bank.

Question: Name and phone number of a lender that specializes this kind
of loan application (United States).

Thanks for your help!

Likewise, GMAC commercial services will finance the purchase of GM
products (they say they also finance non-GM vehicles).  From their

"GMAC offers lease/rental fleet financing to qualified fleet dealers
and independent leasing companies. From GM and non-GM passenger cars
to medium duty trucks, a wide variety of vehicles are eligible for
financing. To learn more about available lines of credit and inventory
financing programs, contact the GMAC Commercial Services Group
