Phone and the request form are the two ways in; the site lists no email address. Below: what to mention on a call about a credit line, a buy-in, ADAS gear or parts stock, and where the office is.
Calling Ivypark About a Credit Line, a Buy-In or ADAS Gear
A call goes further when you know which of three conversations you are starting:
- A credit line: what the draws would cover (a repair, a payroll gap, a supplier bill) and how soon each draw could be paid back down. The line of credit page sets out draws, paydowns and renewal.
- A buy-in: the share of the practice or partnership being bought, the agreed price if there is one, and whether the seller’s records are ready. Buy-ins sit on the term loan page.
- ADAS gear: the calibration system, its quoted price, and whether it replaces calibration work the shop now sends out. Machines like it are covered under equipment financing.
None of this has to be settled before you call. The quote, the price or the seller’s figures come later, when a partner asks for them during its review. To start in writing instead, the request form asks for the basics about the business and the amount requested.
Map and Directions: Ivypark's Jay Street Office
The office address is 156 Jay St, Schenectady, NY 12305. The map on this page marks it, and any map app can plot a route from wherever you set out.
It is a staffed office, but call before coming in so someone can set aside time to sit down with you. A visit is never needed to send a request.
The office ZIP, 12305, held 369 employer establishments in 2023 by ZIP Code Business Patterns, which places each one at the ZIP of its physical location; 62 were in accommodation and food services and 43 in health care and social assistance.
Reaching Ivypark From Scotia, NY, Rotterdam, NY or Niskayuna, NY
Scotia is an incorporated village, and Rotterdam and Niskayuna are census-designated places. All three lie in Schenectady County, NY, so the county figures quoted across this site include them.
From each of them, the routine matches Schenectady, NY itself: call (518) 282-8580 and describe the need, or send the form, which asks for the amount, time in business and annual revenue. Where the business sits does not change what a request covers.
For a sense of how many residents there work for themselves: the 2020-2024 American Community Survey estimates that 6.0% of employed residents of the Rotterdam CDP and 5.3% of those in the Niskayuna CDP are self-employed (margins of error 1.4 and 1.6 points).
Calling Ivypark With a Question About Parts Inventory
A parts question can start with a supplier’s price break on a larger order, or with a shop that wants the brake pads and filters it goes through every week on its own shelf instead of on next-day delivery. Points to have in mind for the call:
- The supplier, and what the larger order saves per unit or in total
- How many weeks the shop expects the stock to last
- Whether the parts serve general repair work or one fleet customer’s contract
- Whether a lift or other equipment belongs to the same plan
Stock that sells through and gets reordered fits inventory financing; a shop whose parts buying comes in uneven amounts may compare it with a credit line.
Not every shop has a payroll. 2024 Nonemployer Statistics counted 129 automotive repair and maintenance businesses (NAICS 8111) in Schenectady County, NY with no paid employees, and a one-person shop can call about parts stock in the same way.
