The challenge

Crusader Vehicles faced a critical bottleneck in their ability to serve their fast-growing clientele. While their expertise in sourcing high-quality commercial vehicles was well-established, the traditional financing landscape often posed a hurdle. Lengthy underwriting processes and a lack of flexibility in financing options for growing fleets hampered their ability to deliver a seamless and swift solution. This could potentially lead to customer frustration and missed business opportunities.


The solution

Recognising the need for a more agile and customer-centric approach, Crusader Vehicles partnered with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a leading provider of commercial vehicle finance. This collaboration aimed to revolutionise the commercial vehicle acquisition process for their SMB clients.

“We wouldn’t be where we are today without BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. They have been instrumental to our growth over the past 20 years. Their commitment to speed, flexibility, and exceptional customer service perfectly complements our own values. We look forward to growing our partnership in the coming years and beyond.”
