ORLANDO, Fla. — Citing record growth in both enrollment and staffing, US Equity Advantage has expanded its Orlando, Fla., corporate headquarters by 40%, the company announced.
Executives said the move, which creates a total office space of 12,000 square feet, comes in response to increasing demand for the company’s AutoPayPlus F&I service. USEA realized an approximate 50% increase in AutoPayPlus enrollments in 2018 and is on pace to do the same in 2019. In addition, the company’s sales support team has tripled in size over the last 12 months, all according to the announcement.
“Our office expansion supports USEA’s growing sales, dealer services, and customer support teams and was imperative for us to continue providing the level of service our dealership partners and customers have come to expect,” said USEA CEO Robert Steenbergh.
