Running a van rental company means staying ahead of customer demand, especially when business is booming. But buying new vehicles outright can tie up precious cash that you need for day-to-day operations.
That’s exactly the situation A2Z LocalVan Rentals found themselves in recently. They wanted to expand their fleet by adding two quality second-hand vans but didn’t want to drain their cash reserves. Instead, they turned to Magna Money for help finding the right finance solution.
The Challenge
A2Z LocalVan Rentals is an independent van hire company serving tradespeople, delivery drivers, and private customers across South East England. Business was growing, with more bookings coming in than ever before.
But with an ageing fleet and no spare capacity, they risked turning away customers. They identified two well-maintained, second-hand vans that would be perfect additions—but buying them outright would have meant a big hit to working capital.
They needed:
- A way to spread the cost of the vans over time
- Competitive finance that worked for used vehicles
- A quick turnaround so they could get the vans on the road fast
