01

Vehicle needs

A truck or van purchase can involve bodywork, loading equipment and compliance checks. Include the cost of making the vehicle ready for the intended work.

Pallet trucks, loading aids and securing equipment should suit the freight being moved. Price the required accessories and storage alongside the main purchase.

Business overhead and running costs

Fuel, driver payments and subcontractor invoices can precede customer receipts. Define the routes or contract period covered by the requested funds.
