Small to Medium-sized international enterprises have their own set of expectations and challenges in managing fleets. For an SME, managing a fleet in two or more countries requires a different approach from a fleet in just one country. At Business Lease, they understand that.

“No matter the fleet size, our quality of service is just the same.”

SMEs are sizeable enough to require a professional international approach but small enough that they may slip through the net of leasing companies that cater mainly for large international fleets. But not for Business Lease.

Driver Service Desk

In most cases, SMEs have a strong focus on their core business with less resources available for indirect procurement like fleet management. This makes a close, personal bond with the international leasing company all the more important. Business Lease can really add value in this respect, for example; Driver Service Desks in all markets that can assist clients in anything vehicle related, whether it be a fuel card that’s not working, mileage for a vehicle that’s getting out of hand, an accident or anything else. The Driver Service Desks can always be contacted in the local language or in English.

Policies and processes

But managing a fleet starts with policies and processes. Business Lease International has its own team of experts to assist SMEs, or indeed bigger companies, write and implement policies. On average, SMEs have a stronger mandate to introduce a single leasing company and a single policy across all markets, but it is vital to hit the right level of detail without getting overly specific.

This is where the experience and expertise of Business Lease can really shine: we understand the needs of SMEs and we understand that they look not only at added value in terms of financials but also in terms of flexibility and solutions that may deviate from the default.

Dealer discounts & customized solutions

Multinational companies with large fleets negotiate OEM discounts at the European level, but SMEs don’t have the scale to make that possible. With Business Lease, SMEs get access to our preferred dealer network, bringing within reach discounts and conditions that would generally not apply to a fleet their size. At the same time, the fleet of Business Lease pre-lease cars can come in handy while fleets are waiting for the cars they ordered.

When every fleet has its own requirements, it is increasingly more challenging to find the right powertrain for the practical usage of the vehicle. Personal advice is key to support the fleet manager and the driver to determine the right vehicle. You deserve the support you need, no matter your fleet size.

Business Lease understands the fleet needs of small to medium-sized enterprises and takes them seriously. Find out more on our website or get in touch with one of our International team members for more information: www.businesslease.com/international
