Small businesses can go to BVRLA-approved car leasing brokers and be confident they will get a certified level of service
Small business owners: choose a BVRLA-approved car leasing broker and get the service levels you expect

Network car broker initiative a good one

I’M really pleased. In fact, more than that. I’m delighted.

Delighted that LeasePlan, the owners of the Network franchise of car leasing brokers, has decided to ensure higher car broker standards.

LeasePlan has done so by making BVRLA certification part of the criteria for holding the Network broker franchise.

Car leasing brokers play a vital part in helping small businesses find the right cars at the right sort of deal.

They are increasingly professional, too. Those that have the BVRLA gold standard provide a wide range of products. And not just for micro businesses; but bigger firms too, with larger numbers of cars.

But often when small businesses go out to find the best deal for a car, they’ll be inundated by searches that take them to seemingly wonderful deals.

BVRLA standards for Network car leasing brokers

Alas, some of these deals don’t even exist – except to get you to a particular site. Where you might be snared by another deal that, shall we say, is not quite all it’s cracked up to be. As ever, it’s a case of buyer beware.

Except if you go to a BVRLA-approved car leasing broker. That’s why you’ll only find those car leasing brokers that have the BVRLA trading standard listed in our Find A Supplier section. It’s a bit like the equivalent of the ABTA mark for travel agents.

It means they can be trusted to provide a great service. And help you find the right car. Many are contributors to this website: Anthony K and Associates; Central Contracts; and Concept Vehicle Leasing are three such.

But what we now have the prospect of greater choice with the Network brokers coming on board.

It’s a good decision by LeasePlan to make sure its brokers are fully approved. Other leasing companies should take note. And follow LeasePlan’s gold standard example.
