LEASING company Arval and the Federation of Small Businesses have together launched FSB Vehicle Services to provide members with advice on how to source and manage their business cars and vans.
The new service was announced at the FSB’s Annual Conference and Small Business Expo 2015.
Around 200,000 FSB members will now benefit from exclusive offers on specific cars and vans and will be able to access advice and support to analyse their current and future business vehicle requirements via a dedicated web portal and a 24/7 telephone helpline.
SMEs are the driving force for growth in UK business today
Elliot Woodhead, managing director of SME & Partnerships at Arval, said;
“SMEs are the driving force for growth in UK business today. Today, over 60 percent of the vehicles we lease are provided to organisations that fund a smaller number of vehicles through us – sometimes one car or van.
“We have aimed to channel our extensive expertise in business vehicle finance and operational management in ways that are specifically tailored to the very specific needs of SMEs, effectively trying to remove the hassle from running company vehicles.
“This partnership with the FSB is a major landmark and we feel honoured to have been selected to provide business vehicle advice to FSB members.”
Carol Undy, FSB Member Services chairman, added;
“Most businesses rely on their vehicles to keep employees and goods mobile. Without their cars and vans they simply could not operate.
