Vans are required for a wide variety of businesses. From delivery companies to retailers, van leasing deals are beneficial for a range of sectors. That is especially true for removalist companies. Here, we provide some tips on how to start a removalist firm, including finding the best van leasing deals.
The lifeblood of any new, established or growing removal company is the vehicles it has at its disposal. Without a fleet of suitable vehicles to move people’s possessions from one house to the other, there simply isn’t a business! However, cost-effectively acquiring vehicles is not always simple. You could buy a range of used vehicles to save money, but risk them breaking down. Or buy a fleet of new vehicles, but at a huge expense.
A great middle-ground solution to this problem is to find affordable leasing deals for vehicles. Van leasing deals allow you to gain access to new vehicles which are unlikely to break down at an affordable monthly cost. Furthermore, you’ll have full oversight of how much your outgoings will be every month, which can help you plan for the future growth of the business.
Before you even think about your vehicles, it’s important to research the local market to find out how competitive it is and where your price point should ideally be. Research all of the removalists local to you and fact-find on where they operate, how they are received by customers, what they do not do and how much they charge. By understanding their methods, you might be able to find a small gap in the market to plug and figure out whether you can price competitively while still paying your overheads.
These days, it’s vital to have a website set up. Gone are the days when people found their services in paper directories. Now, if you don’t have a website for customers to look at, you will struggle. Get one set up professionally and begin marketing online to attract custom.
Many removal firms also offer storage facilities for their customers. If you can add this to your list of services and remain profitable, you could be on to a winner. Having more strings to your bow can protect you from losing customers on the removal side of the business.
