Business Vehicle Sourcing and Finance

Finding a car or van is easy…

…But knowing whether it’s right for your business, your drivers and your budget takes a little more thought

Expert business vehicle sourcing and finance

Manage Your Fleet offers business vehicle sourcing and finance for businesses that want informed, practical advice.

We take the time to understand what each vehicle needs to do, explore the available options and help you make a decision based on overall value rather than an attractive headline price.

The right vehicles, the right funding, the right support

Talk to us about your vehicle requirements

Whether you need to replace one vehicle, source several new cars, vans or trucks, or plan a wider fleet renewal programme, we can manage the process from initial specification through to delivery and beyond.

Plan Your Fleet

Vehicle decisions built around your business

Every conversation begins with how your business operates and how the vehicle will be used.

Payload, mileage, access to charging, driver needs and vehicle availability can all influence the right choice.

We can help you consider:

What the vehicle will carry and where it will travel
Annual mileage and typical journey patterns
Whether an electric vehicle is practical
The most appropriate vehicle size and specification
Purchase, leasing and other funding options
Maintenance and in-life costs
How the decision fits into your wider replacement plans

Let’s talk about your business

A van for a decorator has very different requirements from one used by a service engineer. A company car covering 30,000 miles a year needs a different assessment from a pool vehicle used for short local journeys.

When we work together, every vehicle is chosen for a clear reason that supports the longer-term needs of your business and your fleet.

Looking beyond the headline price

Vehicle finance quotes can be difficult to compare

A low monthly figure may be based on a large initial payment, limited annual mileage or a contract that excludes maintenance.

Once the terms are adjusted to reflect how the vehicle will really be used, the cost can look very different.

Buying a nearly new vehicle is not automatically better value

Manufacturer discounts and fleet purchasing terms can sometimes make a new leased vehicle more cost-effective, particularly once depreciation, servicing, repairs and fuel efficiency are taken into account.

Our role is to help you compare like with like and understand the wider financial and operational implications before you commit

Commonly overlooked costs and considerations include:

Initial deposits and payment profiles
Mileage limits and excess-mileage charges
Maintenance, servicing and tyres
Fuel or electricity consumption
Vehicle age and reliability
Downtime and operational disruption
End-of-contract condition charges
The cost of retaining unsuitable or inefficient vehicles

Support throughout the vehicle lifecycle

Business vehicle sourcing beyond the order

Before the vehicle arrives

We help you establish the requirements, identify suitable vehicles, consider available funding and manage the ordering process.

We can also liaise with drivers where their needs or concerns should form part of the decision.

While the vehicle is in use

Drivers receive the appropriate servicing, maintenance, tyre and breakdown services.

If a routine support channel fails to resolve a problem, you still have an experienced contact who understands your business and can help escalate it.

When the vehicle is due for replacement

We can support contract-end arrangements, vehicle returns and disposal while helping you plan the next replacement.

This creates continuity and reduces the risk of renewals becoming last-minute decisions.

How business vehicle sourcing and finance works

1. Understanding your requirements

We discuss what has prompted the enquiry, how the vehicle will be used and what matters most to the business and driver.

Where several vehicles are involved, we also consider the wider fleet and future replacement schedule.

2. Exploring the options

We review appropriate vehicles, specifications and funding arrangements. This may confirm your original choice or highlight an option you had not previously considered.

3. Comparing the true costs

The available options are assessed using realistic mileage, contract terms and maintenance requirements so you can make a meaningful comparison.

4. Sourcing and ordering the vehicle

Once you have made your decision, we arrange the finance and supply process, manage the order and keep you informed through to delivery.

5. Providing ongoing support

Our involvement continues throughout the life of the vehicle and into its eventual return, disposal or replacement.

The level of support is shaped around what you need. You may have a clear vehicle requirement and simply want help sourcing it, or you may need a broader review before deciding what to order.
