Franchisees will be able to cover all makes of light commercial vehicles and will have the support of leading manufacturers in the UK.

Managing Director Pete Clements says: "The company plans a controlled growth of this side of the business, as each franchisee joins us we aim to ensure we are able to offer full support, acknowledging their commitment to us. For example three franchisees were sent on a training course run by the Royal Bank of Scotland to learn about the basics of business funding.

"V4Vans aims to ensure its franchisees have the tools to supply a top level service both in terms of sourcing the right vehicle and advising on the variety of funding options open to the small businessman. It is imperative they are trained and kept abreast of all market changes at all times."
