Why The Car & Van Shop

The choice

Dealing with manufacturers, dealers, finance companies and a wide range of existing and potential customers on a daily basis, gives The Car & Van Shop a unique understanding of industry trends and opportunities. Sourcing all makes of cars and commercials, new and used, and providing the BEST finance plan for each customer, is a service offered by no other vehicle retailer in the UK

The Market

Opportunities - Small to medium sized businesses, sole traders, partnerships, private individuals and major fleets, all contribute to the 2.4 million new vehicles sold each year, which, when added to the 3 million plus used vehicles sold annually gives a huge market to approach. Finance plans tailored to the specific needs of each customer, regardless of size, gives The Car & Van Shop a unique product to offer.

The ever increasing non status market is fully catered for using our panel of specialist funders, and with a replacement cycle of less than 3 years, the market is vast.

How it works

The plan - The Car & Van Shop is unique in its retail format, serving the needs of a variety of business and private prospects from its bespoke shops. Fully trained staff, working in a comfortable environment, with prospects gained from the internet, walk in traffic and specific marketing, all served with a courtesy not always found in the motor industry. Understanding the specific needs of each customer, providing the very best advice on all financial matters, and being able to offer any make of car or commercial vehicle, set this business apart from all of the competition.

The Support

Head office - Fully trained staff are on hand to facilitate all enquiries, process all applications, place orders, and arrange deliveries, leaving the franchisee to gain more customers.

After initial training both on site and at head office, bi monthly planning, marketing and support meetings are held, weekly breakdown of activity and best practices are discussed, and there is an annual conference attended by all franchisees and business associates.

Training is also supplied by our major funders, giving franchisees the best skills to tackle each and every opportunity.
