Tiny Towing Solutions came to GVK Finance in 2022 with one lender, two trucks and no real options. Four years on, they run seven units across the Waikato.

WORKING TOGETHER
Like a lot of owner operators, Angus Hamilton had built Tiny Towing Solutions around a single banking relationship. It worked, until it didn’t. When the business needed to add capacity, the bank was the only door to knock on, and there was no way of knowing whether the structure on offer actually suited the asset he was buying.
The result was a slow, one sided process: one lender, one structure, one answer. For a Waikato transport operator who needed to move quickly when the right truck came up, that was a handbrake on growth.
GVK Finance stepped in as a single point of contact and took the legwork off Angus’s hands. Every funder has its own criteria, its own appetite and its own rates, and no two deals are the same. GVK looks at the client, the asset and the way it will be worked, and from 30 years of doing exactly that, knows where each deal belongs. Angus’s finance went to the lender best suited to it rather than to the only one he happened to have a relationship with.
Every deal since has followed the same pattern, which is why the process now takes a phone call rather than a fortnight.

Since 2022 the Tiny Towing Solutions fleet has grown from a couple of units to seven, financed across trucks, trailers and utes. Just as importantly, the way finance gets done has changed. What used to be a source of stress is now a routine part of the business.
“Made it a lot easier and less stressful,” is how Angus sums it up, and that is the outcome most operators are actually after: less admin, more certainty, and the confidence to say yes when the right asset comes up.
“Easy and productive, a phone or text is all that I need to make and Grieg is on the job.”
Angus Hamilton, Owner, Tiny Towing Solutions Ltd
Grieg is currently working on finance for a new trailer, the next step in a fleet that has grown steadily every year since Angus and GVK started working together. Whatever comes after that, .the process will be the same: one text, one broker, and the right funder for the job.
If your business is running on one lender and you have never seen what else is out there, it costs nothing to find out. GVK Finance has been arranging truck and transport finance, plant and equipment finance and working capital for Kiwi SMEs for over 30 years.
