Supporting Fleet Growth with a Volvo Tractor Unit

Supporting Fleet Growth with a High-Spec Volvo Tractor Unit

Client: UK Haulage Operator
Asset: New High Specification Volvo Tractor Unit
Funding Partner: Major UK High Street Bank
Term: 6 Years

At Forest Road Finance, we work closely with businesses to ensure they have the right equipment in place to support growth.

A long-standing haulage client approached us looking to expand their fleet by adding a new Volvo tractor unit to support a new driver joining the business.

The vehicle was a brand new, high specification unit on a new registration plate, ensuring reliability, efficiency and comfort for long-distance work.

We worked with a major UK high street bank to structure a funding solution that worked for the customer’s cashflow and operational needs.

The Funding Structure

To make the investment as manageable as possible for the business, we arranged:

• 15% deposit
• 3-month VAT deferral
• 6-year finance term

This structure allowed the business to take delivery of the vehicle immediately while preserving working capital during a period of expansion.

The Outcome

The new tractor unit has allowed the client to:

• Bring an additional driver into the business
• Increase capacity and revenue opportunities
• Continue growing their fleet with confidence

At Forest Road Finance we understand that vehicles are the backbone of many UK businesses, and we work with a wide panel of lenders to create finance solutions that support long-term growth.

If your business is looking to fund vehicles, plant, machinery or equipment, our team would be happy to help.
