Fuel Cards for Small Business
Fuel is one of the biggest expenses for businesses of all sizes but gaining full control over your regular financial outgoings will dramatically improve your bottom line.
A fuelGenie fuel card can help small businesses save time and money by directing drivers to conveniently located supermarket fuel stations where the price of fuel is up to 3p less per litre*. This article looks at the benefits of picking the right fuel card for small businesses and how to get started. It’s quick, easy and can all be done online.
How Fuel Cards Can Benefit Small Businesses
Save on the cost of fuel
Small businesses can benefit almost instantly in several ways with the best fuel card. One of the most valuable benefits is the savings that can be made on the price of diesel and petrol. A fuelGenie fuel card allows drivers to take their pick from Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s petrol stations, where fuel is cheaper than the national average. That means they save valuable time and your business saves money – because our data shows that when drivers consistently fill up at supermarkets, businesses can save up to 3p per litre* on fuel.
For a small fleet business with one driver averaging 20,000 miles a year at a fuel efficiency of 68MPG, switching to fuelGenie would mean that driver saving more than £40 on fuel. Multiply that by several drivers with more mileage and you can see how savings stack up with business fuel cards.
The fuelGenie card offers different benefits and is completely free to apply for and use, so as a small business you don’t need to worry about any additional costs when choosing to use a fuelGenie fuel card.
Save on receipt and invoice admin time
Time is money and processing fuel receipts is a difficult and arduous task without business fuel cards. Drivers may misplace receipts or they might be unwilling to buy fuel using their own money and wait for a refund in their expenses. Our fuel card takes the hassle out of paying for business fuel – each driver receives their own fuel card, and the invoice goes directly to the business. VAT reclaim is also made easy with fuelGenie. Simply login and download a single HMRC approved invoice, saving time on admin for your small business.
Earn UK supermarket loyalty points
The fuelGenie business fuel cards mean your drivers can also benefit by collecting supermarket loyalty points at Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s. This is a great incentive for drivers to use the fuelGenie fuel card as they can put these points towards their shopping or other purchase. Small businesses can find it hard to offer rewards to employees as money can be tight, so this is a great free reward that your drivers can benefit from without additional expense. Find out more about how the right business fuel cards for drivers can earn supermarket loyalty points with fuelGenie.
