Commercial Services
Support for growth
We are pleased to be able to provide all forms of vehicle finance for private and commercial vehicles, including contract hire, PCP and PCH products, lease purchase and finance lease products.
We have a reputation for providing excellent service to our clients, and look forward to offering the same standard of support and assistance to you.
• The Benefits
By placing business through Lilypad, your organisation and it’s personnel will have the benefit of professionally negotiated prices and finance rates, which are not available via local dealers. You will have the benefit of discounts based on multiple purchases, whenever a new vehicle is required.
• The Best Deals
We remain at the leading edge of cost effective vehicle provision, as we obtain quotations, from typically five competitive providers for every enquiry.
Each of Lilypad’s providers will seek quotations from perhaps five or six funding organisations.
Consequently, every enquiry received by ourselves is examined typically thirty times, ensuring that we achieve the lowest quote available.
(Please see the following – Rationale, Cost Benefit, and Examples)
• Performance Continuity
Using many years of procurement experience, we regularly check the market place by offering enquiries to new potential providers. Our negotiations ensure that we deal only with the most competitive, and stay abreast of market changes.
• Credentials
We are pleased that out Managing Associate, Dennis Elliott, was recently listed in the Western Mail ‘Who’s Who’ of leading businessmen in Wales. You can therefore be sure that Lilypad has the contacts and ability to perform to the highest standard.
• The Vehicles
All vehicles (commercials and cars) are new, and supplied by UK main dealers. All come with full Manufacturer’s warranty package, and road fund licence.
Prices quoted to the customer include delivery, vehicle collection where applicable, and admin. charges. There is nothing extra to pay.
• Outright Purchase
We can offer exceptional prices for new, UK supplied vehicles for outright purchase, delivered anywhere in mainland Britain.
Additionally, for some vehicles, our customers may benefit from buying fully warranted imported vehicles if they wish.
• HGVs
We can provide HGV vehicles and finance.
Provision of such vehicles is clearly subject to additional discussions, there being various finance options, body-building requirements, and servicing and inspection agreements to consider. We would be pleased to discuss this if you wish.
• Rationale, Cost Benefit and Examples
No single provider
– however large or familiar - can offer the lowest quotation at
all times.
This is because a vehicle quotation by any provider is subject to the
following variables :-
a) discount available
to the provider for the vehicle concerned,
b) interest rates from the funder,
c) perceived residual value of the vehicle at contract end,
d) perceived cost of maintenance if included in the contract,
e) the level of profit required by the provider and funder to maintain
their businesses.
Additionally, not all funders provide all finance types.
By using a number of competitive providers, Lilypad optimises these variables,
allowing us to offer the lowest prices across all makes and models.
Recent Examples.
The following variance in
quotations was recently found between the most expensive and
least expensive of our current providers.
| VW Passat 2.0 tdi SE | - £25.29 variance per month |
| Nissan Primera 2.2d SX | - £39.40 variance per month |
| Ford Mondeo 2.0 Cdti LX | - £58.35 variance per month |
| BMW 320d SE | - £68.93 variance per month |
| Range Rover 3.0 TD6 Vogue | - £96.83 variance per month |
This is typical of the magnitude of monthly saving which is noted even
between our very competitive providers.
It is probable that our customer would save even more per month, as he
or she would be subject to the higher prices available in the market place
generally
