Customer review

A coffee van, funded within hours

“Great and fast service provided by Jordan. Mercedes Finance were slow at processing my finance application for a Vito van. … I approached Jordan who managed to secure the funds required within hours of submitting an application. The rates were also more favourable than those quoted by Mercedes Finance.”
