SCC Leeds, which was set up by business partners Remo De Biase and Roman Slobodian in 2008, is acquiring the vehicles from across the UK for its internet-based sales operation.

Mr De Biase said yesterday: “The prestige and high-quality used car market is very strong as motorists seek out value and vehicles which represent good investments.

“Our experience enables us to buy sought-after makes, models and marques of cars which we know will sell and are a good buy for our customers.

“As an internet-based enterprise with the potential for a high volume of buyers at any one time, it is vital for us to have a large pool of stock available to maintain a wide variety of vehicles.

“We are aiming to expand further in 2012 by further extending our stock and moving into new markets.”

SCC Leeds, which is based on the Moorfield Industrial Estate, buys and sells sports cars, 4x4 off-roaders and saloons that are up to four years old across the coun- try.

The business has five staff and a £6.5m turnover.

Yorkshire Bank Leeds FSC business partner, Michael Tew, said: “Having the right mix of stock available to meet customer needs is crucial for businesses in the current climate and we’re pleased to be helping SCC Leeds keep the wheels turning through Yorkshire Bank’s Investing for Growth initiative.”

Yorkshire Bank’s Investing for Growth initiative enables businesses to take advantage of loan repayment holidays, interest-only repayments and extended loan and credit terms.

Businesses signing up to the package can re-invest the cash into their operation to fund expansion, new staff and equipment.
