Especially during the start-up phase, it's crucial to keep costs under control . A significant investment is particularly necessary when purchasing a vehicle, as reliable mobility is a fundamental requirement for tradespeople . The mobility portal SDH – Servicegesellschaft Deutsches Handwerk (Service Company for German Trades) – addresses this issue . With a free membership, tradespeople can benefit from substantial discounts on new company cars. This is a real advantage when you're just starting out and need to budget carefully.

Discounts also for small businesses 

SDH currently has centrally negotiated discounts with approximately 25 car manufacturers , which can be redeemed at local car dealerships. With a special voucher, business owners can access vehicle discounts that are otherwise only available to companies with very large fleets. These discounts apply to cars, SUVs, pickups, and vans . The tradesperson can choose whether to pay cash, lease, or finance the vehicle.

Current special offers with partner companies

It's always worth taking a look at current special offers: In addition to significant vehicle discounts, founders also receive attractive rewards , such as tool sets. In the SDH benefits program, SDH members can also find lucrative offers from over 20 partners in the areas of vehicle interiors, tradespeople's fuel cards (discounts on fuel), communication (attractive mobile phone plans), car rental, and much more. "We're never short of ideas," says Ralf Baumeister, pointing to numerous successful collaborations and projects. To date, the company has helped almost 65.000 trades businesses acquire a new, affordable company vehicle.

Electromobility in the trades

Electric mobility has become an attractive option, especially for young craft businesses that want to future-proof their vehicle fleets. Thanks to technological advances and a growing charging infrastructure, electric vehicles already offer numerous advantages for tradespeople.

Powerful and versatile

Modern batteries impress with higher performance, longer lifespan, and lower costs . At the same time, the network of charging stations is constantly expanding. In the light commercial vehicle segment, a wide range of options is now available, from small service vehicles to large vans – now with a range of up to 350 km.

Economically competitive

Over their lifetime, electric vehicles are now cost-equivalent to combustion engine vehicles. Lower purchase prices, reduced operating and maintenance costs, and tax advantages make switching to electric vehicles economically attractive . This is especially true if the fleet can be regularly charged on company premises using on-site electricity generation, for example, through photovoltaics.

Future-proof and image-enhancing

Increasing demands for environmentally friendly mobility , whether due to legal requirements or customer expectations, make e-mobility an important topic for the future. Craft businesses that switch over early position themselves as progressive and environmentally conscious in the market.
