Marco, the founder of Finest Van, turned a frustrating personal experience into a professional removals empire. After struggling to find a reliable service to move a motorbike as a teenager, he spotted a clear gap in the market for a high-quality, dependable moving company that could operate at short notice.
A business built on reliability
Starting a removals business in London is a physical and logistical challenge, but Marco’s persistence has seen Finest Van grow from a solo venture into a trusted professional outfit. The mission is simple: to make one of life’s most stressful events feel manageable through great planning and a team that genuinely cares. "Moving is an emotional and major moment in people’s lives," Marco explains. "We have received thousands of 5-star reviews over time, and for me, that is a real reflection of the team's hard work, consistency, and professionalism."
Scaling through the London logistics landscape
Building a successful removals firm in the capital involved overcoming significant physical and logistical hurdles. Marco quickly learned that the "physicality of the job was a real shock," with London’s tight access and endless stairs providing a steep learning curve. "Getting to grips with the logistics and traffic around London did take some time to understand," Marco notes, but his persistence paid off as the business scaled from a solo venture to a trusted professional outfit. As the fleet grew, so did the need for a financial partner that offered the same reliability Marco promised his customers. He initially discovered Capital on Tap while searching for a better home for the company’s cash reserves, looking for a provider that rewarded growth rather than hindering it with unnecessary fees.
Consolidating for a friction-free back office
Marco’s transition to a streamlined financial system began when he moved his company’s reserves to a high-yield savings account. When asked what stood out to him about the Capital on Tap Instant Savings account, powered by ClearBank, he noted it was “the competitive rate and the instant access with no penalties, which was a much better deal than what I had at the time.”
After seeing the ease of the savings platform, he decided to tackle his credit card frustrations, specifically the high fees and limited acceptance he experienced with Amex. "I wanted to move away from Amex because of the high annual fees and the fact that some of our suppliers would not accept that card," he explains. "On application for the Capital on Tap Business Credit Card, we received a great limit that gives our business cash flow flexibility; it was the most straightforward, flexible card I found."
Now that he manages both products through a single platform, the impact on his daily operations is clear. "Having the Capital on Tap Business Credit Card and Instant Savings account all under one roof reduces friction and admin time, and the most helpful part so far is that I have had no issues paying any of our suppliers."
