Starting Your Own Business? Get A Van!

Whether branching out on your own or deciding to set up a side business, it is vital to have the proper equipment on hand from the start to help you out. One of the essentials for many small business owners is a van.

Read on to find out some of the benefits of having a van when starting your own business.

Operate From Your Vehicle

One of the best benefits of having your own van is that you can operate from your vehicle. There has been a rise in recent years of services on the road, where a business can come to you with their van instead of customers having to come to your place of work.

This includes jobs such as pet grooming where you can transform the back of your van into a purpose-built space to operate from. This can allow you to reach more customers who might not be able to get to you, as well as travel further afield to potential clients.

Van Tax

The amount of tax that you pay on a van depends on how you use it. There is road tax, and then any personal tax you might have to pay for using a work van for personal use. If you are self-employed, you do not need to pay company van tax. You can claim a number of van-related expenses if you are self-employed, which can come in handy.

Branding On Wheels

Having your own vehicle with branding on can instantly turn your van into branding on wheels. Having a car exterior that has your name, logo, and contact information turns your car into a moving billboard essentially. As you drive around, potential customers will be able to spot your van and might be inclined to inquire about your products/services. You might get interest while on the job, or even if you’re using your van for personal use!

We always recommend customising your vehicle in this way, as a branded vehicle can help set you apart from the competition in contrast to a plain-looking van! A branded vehicle adds a sense of professionalism and confidence in the legitimacy of your business.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
