Asset Finance – Case Study – How We Helped a Logistics Firm Keep Moving

Here at V4B Business Finance, we take pride in supporting businesses of all shapes and sizes, and one of those cases was for a transport company that was looking for logistic finance options.

As a result, one of our favourite success stories comes from working with a growing logistics company based in the Midlands.

They came to us needing help to purchase new delivery vehicles so they could keep up to meet the rising demand they were seeing – but without emptying their bank account in the process to do so.

The Problem

This transport business had just secured a big contract that would increase their delivery volume by nearly 40%.

Which was great news for them, but it also meant they needed three new refrigerated vans straight away, with a total cost of just over £150,000.

As you can imagine, they did not want to dip into their reserves, especially with staff costs, fuel, and other running expenses to think about.

The Solution - Asset Finance

Consequently, we arranged an asset finance agreement for them – which is a type of loan where the vehicles themselves act as the security.

This then meant they did not need to provide extra collateral or put their cash flow under pressure to be able to acquire them.

Instead, they simply provided us with some basic paperwork – their latest accounts, a copy of the vehicle quotes, and a few months’ bank statements.

Our business finance team then got to work, and the funding was approved – with everything being sorted in just a few days.

Why Did Asset Finance Help Them?

This financing option allowed the business in question to:

  • ✅ Spread the cost of the vans over 5 years with fixed monthly payments
  • ✅ Retain their capital to use elsewhere in the business
  • ✅ Upgrade their fleet quickly and efficiently
  • ✅ Still, benefit from ownership options at the end of the term

Then, because the loan was structured through asset finance, they also qualified for tax benefits on the repayments and interest as well – making it even more cost-effective.

Results

Within a week of getting the finance, the logistics company had their new vans out on the road and started fulfilling their new contract – it was as quick as that.

Then, thanks to their flexible payment plan, they never had to pause or slow down their operations; in fact, their new contract helped them grow their revenue by £500,000 over the next 12 months.
