Why personalised number plates have been going up in value.
As well as being bought by the general public many businesses now buy personalised number plates for a main vehicle of theirs to use as a show piece.
You may say this is advertising or branding or even just a way of showing the status of their business.
Just think how many hours a day does peak traffic slow and we are stuck in it just looking at the vehicles ahead. Having a memorable personalised number plate on your vehicle can re inforce
a brand without us even realising it.
Personalised number plates are used by high celebrities as well as local suppliers.
Famously Alan Sugar has AMS 1 registration for instance, its a great way of getting people to notice you or your brand.
Business fleet owners can also make on impact with a set of sequential personalised number plates. An example of what is meant by sequential personalised number plates is say vet 2, vet 3, vet 4.
Just think how good these would look when parked up in a row.
Are personalised number plates a good business investment?
Well if you consider the length of time your plate can be used ie a lifetime then they have to be, whilst at the same time gaining free advertising.
They also retain their value as well so even if you need to sell it it will have probably gone up in value or almost certainly retain it, you just need to take into account the £80 transfer fee.
What is the cost of a personalised number for a business?
A personalised number plate can range from cheap to very expensive, the cost is often geared to how popular the name is based on. If you are aiming your personalsied number plate on your
company name then it shouldnt cost too much. However if you want a generic type name like VET, VAN CAR etc of course these will be premium prices.
Looking for variations of your name can however make the price cheaper, for exmaple for VET you could look for V3T, that sort of thing.
There are lots of choices and variations around so we would advise yes invest as soon as you can on a personalised number plate and you can also have fun with getting some variations on a them,
