Anthony Soave

National Express Payoff LLC may be a start-up, but Anthony Soave is anything but. He has demonstrated that over 50 years of identifying, partnering, and investing in strong entrepreneurs with expertise, skilled teams, and scalable businesses. His interest in the technology sector marks him as an entrepreneur and investor who combines experience with vision. His ability to identify opportunities across sectors and consistently build successful companies makes him a partner whose track record inspires confidence.

Starting out with one employee and a dump truck decades ago, Anthony Soave, now employs 2,000 people internationally in an enterprise that includes real estate, luxury automotive dealerships, industrial and environmental services, and agriculture, generating $2 billion in revenue with $1.7 billion in assets.

That single truck evolved into a fleet, propelling City Management to become one of the largest privately-owned waste management and environmental services companies in the country. In 1998, City Management was sold in one of the largest transactions in the private waste management industry. That sale formed the financial foundation of today’s Soave Enterprises, allowing entry into entirely new ventures and further reinforcing lenders’ confidence that Soave would continue to support his diversified business portfolio.

The acquisition of Kalamazoo Beer Distributing, followed by City Beverage Illinois, led Soave to become the 12^th largest beer wholesaler in the country, the sixth largest distributor in the Anheuser-Busch family.

Soave’s acquisition of Ferrous Processing and Trading marked the beginning of the consolidation of scrap metals businesses in the Detroit and Cleveland markets, ultimately becoming the largest privately held scrap metal operation in the country. In 2021, Soave Enterprises sold Ferrous to steelmaker, Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF).

Soave acquired multiple dealerships in the greater Kansas City market, focusing on luxury and performance vehicles. Currently, Soave Enterprises owns four dealerships, representing nine brands.

MPS Group is a certified Minority Business Enterprise specializing in industrial and environmental services such as cleaning and maintenance and paint shop management. In 20 years, MPS revenues have grown from $30 million to $150 million (2022 est).

Soave Enterprises has real estate holdings in Florida, Virginia and Michigan, including Brambleton, a planned community in the Dulles Airport/Washington, D.C. with more than 7,000 homes, 25,000 residents, and a 500,000 sq. ft. Town Center complete with a wide variety of retail shops, restaurants, grocery store, movie theatre, library and health club.

The Soave portfolio spans all real estate types – single family homes, condominiums, apartments, retail, office and industrial buildings. Soave converted the historic Checker Cab Building in Detroit and approximately 2.5 acres of adjacent land into Elton Park, a five-building 151-unit apartment/retail community in the popular Corktown neighborhood. Florida holdings include luxury condominium buildings and private beach clubs. In Naples, Florida, the Soave organization is currently constructing its 16th high rise tower and has built and delivered more than 1,150 condominium units to date.

Todd Wysocki

Todd is the former owner of Michigan Auto Title Service, Inc., an automobile title company that has processed well over 1 million titles for automobiles, motorcycles, boats, trailers, and any vehicle that requires a title. The focus of his company specialized in automobile titles: Repossession, duplicates, transfers, renewals, corrections, title history, dealer fleet services, and salvage.

By collaborating with a close team of developers, efficiencies were created via technology, making it possible to obtain a title much quicker than years prior.  These advances make it possible for dealerships and auctions to remarket collateral in a more timely manner.

Mr. Wysocki has experience servicing titles in all 50 States, and interfaced directly to DMVs in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Florida, Illinois and California.

Having sold his former company, Mr. Wysocki is now focused on utilizing his understanding of the automotive remarketing industry to streamline the process for dealerships to lookup payoff amounts on trade-in vehicles, and facilitating a method to payoff vehicles via electronic funds transfer (EFT) within a single platform/portal.  Dealer Payoff System (DPS) is a newly developed solution for National Express Payoff, allowing dealerships to do just that.
