Driving fleet efficiency through strategic funding solution
A midlands-based company is driving fleet efficiency with the support of a funding solution from Pulse Finance.
Fleet Auto Services is a family-run company based in the West Midlands, specialising in mobile vehicle servicing for the daily vehicle rental market. With a focus on balancing cost, quality, and speed of service, they provide tailored solutions across the Midlands and Northamptonshire. Their offerings include mobile vehicle servicing, brake servicing and replacement, and vehicle diagnostics, all delivered directly to the customer’s location. With over twenty years of experience working with major rental companies such as Enterprise and Thrifty, Fleet Auto Services has earned a reputation as a trusted partner that helps reduce repair costs and vehicle off-road times while maximising fleet productivity and profitability.
As the business grew, Fleet Auto Services began to face cashflow pressures driven by ongoing investments in vehicles and equipment, staff recruitment, and day-to-day operating costs. The director, having previous experience with factoring, recognised the potential benefits of invoice finance in freeing up working capital and supporting the business’s growth. The company needed a solution that would provide financial stability, reduce administrative burden, and allow the team to focus on delivering exceptional service to their clients.
Fleet Auto Services turned to Pulse Finance, who recommended a tailored funding solution. This solution provided a £50,000 invoice finance facility to support a turnover of £768,000, ensuring a steady flow of working capital to smooth cashflow fluctuations. In addition, Pulse Finance provided a comprehensive credit control service, managing customer invoice collections and removing the burden of chasing payments. This combination enabled Fleet Auto Services to focus on growing the business, improving operational efficiency, and delivering a responsive service to their customers without the distraction of delayed payments or cashflow uncertainty.
The impact was immediate and significant. With cashflow stabilised, the business was able to make strategic investments, reduce administrative workload, and respond more effectively to customer needs. The team gained confidence in their ability to plan ahead and take on additional work, knowing that their financial foundation was secure. Three years into the relationship, Fleet Auto Services continues to rely on Pulse Finance as a core element of their operational strategy and business growth.
Kurtis Clark, control manager, of Fleet Auto Services reflects on the impact, saying, “Improving cashflow means we can get on and develop the business. They’re very easy to work with. Problem solving is simple – never an issue. Very supportive, easy to deal with, and responsive. We never have to wait for answers. They’re extremely accommodating.” He adds, “Having a funding solution that genuinely frees up our cashflow has made a huge difference. It gives the business the breathing room and support it needs to operate confidently, take on more work, and plan-ahead. Knowing that the financial side is stable means we can focus fully on delivering for our customers.”

The partnership between Fleet Auto Services and Pulse Finance illustrates the power of tailored financial solutions in supporting SME growth. By combining expertise in mobile vehicle servicing with strategic financial support, Fleet Auto Services has been able to continue delivering fast, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for vehicle rental companies across the Midlands. With cashflow secured and operational efficiency enhanced, the business is well-positioned to continue its growth and maintain its reputation as a trusted partner to the rental sector.
From Pulse Finance’s perspective, Alex Walker-Jenkins, client manager explains, “Fleet Auto Services is exactly the kind of ambitious, service-driven business we’re proud to support. Our funding solution gives them the cashflow stability they need to keep investing, keep growing, and stay responsive to their customers. Beyond the finance itself, our credit control and relationship support ensure they have a partner who adds real value – not just funds. Watching their progress over the last few years has been fantastic, and we’re delighted to play a part in their journey.”
