Are you a man with a van in Doncaster, UK? Do you own a van and provide help for people who need to move things about? It can be a very profitable business. Maybe you are thinking about starting such a business but are concerned about the overheads needed in order to begin.

Quite obviously, in order to run such a business, you need a reasonable sized van, at least the size of a Luton Box, or maybe somewhat bigger. If you are just starting, that means that you need to buy a van. You need to tax it. You need to insure it. You also need insurance to cover possible damage to a customer’s goods. (Yes, we know you may take very great care, but there are other people on the road!).

Then, of course, there is the cost of regular maintenance and servicing as well. When you are just starting out, these things can eat into your savings.

On top of that, if you are just starting out as a man with a van in Doncaster, UK, you need to get yourself known. You may need to keep working at the day job for a bit until you build up enough business to go it alone, because your van could be sitting there doing nothing for days at a time.

Starting Up Can Be Difficult

So, yes, while running a “man with van” business can be very well worthwhile, starting off can be difficult. The perfect answer is to hire a van from us at T G Commercials Self Drive as and when you need it. That way, you are only paying for it as and when you need it, and are earning money when doing it.

We have a huge fleet of vans of all sizes, so here is another advantage. If you only need a small van for a few hours, you can hire the size that you need rather than driving something much bigger that uses more fuel.

Of course, all our vans are taxed and insured. They are also serviced, without fail, exactly when due, so there is very little chance of breaking down on the road. You don’t have to pay those costs.

Indeed, we have some customers in this business who hire from us all the time, for the simple reason that they always have the latest models, and it actually saves them money. You may need to do the sums, but long-term hire will usually help to increase your profits.
