  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Commercial Finance Funding - In Commercial Finance we provide funding to Dealers to purchase vehicles from Auction, Manufacturers, general public to be able to sales these to the public. We loan them a percentage of the cost of the vehicle and then charge them an initial fee together with monthly interest on the amount that is loaned to them. We also provide property loans for dealers to improve the retailing sites and to build or refurbish existing sites.

Skills I have learned or improved - I have improved my knowledge of the BMW financial group. I have learnt what departments do within the company and what roles they play, and how they work within each other. I have learnt there is a retail and commercial side of the business.
