We all know that television serials are just make-believe. Most of the time. But sometimes some of the things that are said make sense.
Take owning trailers. The arguments in favour of renting from TIP rather than buying them elsewhere are financially forceful.
Buy them outright and you have tens of thousands of pounds tied up in hardware.
Buy them on hire purchase, and of course, the purchase price is higher.
Use up your borrowing facility on this. And you can't use it up on that.
Alternatively, you can keep all your options open by renting what you need from TIP. That way your overheads are lower, and can be predicted precisely, in advance.
Which can be a crucial aid to cash-flow. But don't imagine for a second that you'll be settling for second best. As the leading trailer rental organisation in Europe, TIP can provide yc with a whole fleet of trailers tailor-made to your personal requirements.
All, needless to say, in absolutely tip-top condition. All calculated to make a good impressia on your customers. As well as your auditors.
