SPECTRUM Commercial Services announced the opening of a new sales office in Kansas City, MO, and the addition of Julia Harvala, VP, to its seasoned team of professionals. Harvala will open the new office and introduce SPECTRUM’s various financing products to referral sources and prospective borrowers throughout Kansas and Missouri.

Prior to joining SPECTRUM, Julia spent more than twenty years as a commercial banker in the Kansas City area, focusing on new business development and special asset management. She has worked primarily with closely held businesses in the lower middle market, finding creative financing solutions for her borrowers. Julia is very familiar with the unique financing needs of the industries found throughout Kansas City and the surrounding areas.

Brian Van Nevel, Co-CEO, said, “Our success in asset based lending and accounts receivable financing can be attributed to our unique, market driven products, responsiveness, and willingness to think outside the box. Combining Kansas City’s focus on manufacturing, distribution and commercial service companies and Harvala’s extensive experience in commercial lending, Kansas City presents a great opportunity for SPECTRUM.”
