Types of vehicle finance we can help you find
We introduce businesses to providers of the following vehicle finance products. Click any product to learn how it typically works.
Hire Purchase (HP)
Pay fixed monthly payments until ownership transfers to you at the end of the agreement. Good for businesses that want to own the vehicle outright.
Lease Purchase (LP)
Similar to HP but typically structured to include a final lump sum (balloon) to acquire the asset at the end.
Operating Lease / Contract Hire
Rental agreement where you return the vehicle at contract end — often includes maintenance options and predictable monthly costs (suitable for businesses wanting off‑balance sheet solutions).
Finance Lease
Longer-term lease where the lender is the owner for tax/contract purposes — often used for specialist or high-value commercial vehicles.
Fleet Finance (multi‑vehicle)
Funding packages for several vehicles under one facility — can improve rates and simplify management for growing fleets.
Refinancing & balloon payment solutions
Refinance existing vehicle credit or restructure agreements that include final balloon payments to improve monthly cash flow.

Coverage: availability across England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland
Most lenders and brokers operate UK‑wide, so the core vehicle finance products are widely available across all four nations. However, some practical differences can affect processing, costs and documentation.
England
- Strong dealer networks and many national funders — fast access to quotes and dealer packages.
- Large choice for used and new vehicles, specialist transport lenders and regional brokers.
Scotland
- National lenders operate here, with specialist Scottish brokers offering local knowledge for fleet and agriculture sectors.
- Vehicle registration and taxation follow UK rules, but local dealer relationships can influence pricing and availability.
Wales
- Good national coverage; regional brokers often support transport, construction and hospitality sectors.
- Local dealer partnerships can speed delivery and inspection for used vehicles.
Northern Ireland
- Some lenders apply different paperwork or processing due to separate vehicle registration and, in some cases, cross‑border VAT considerations.
- We’ll match you with lenders/brokers experienced in Northern Ireland transactions to avoid delays.
In short: availability is UK‑wide but provider choice and local dealer relationships can vary. Complete our short form so we can match you to providers who serve your nation and sector. Get Quote Now

Who can apply — eligibility & common lender criteria
We introduce limited companies, LLPs, franchises and established SMEs — including start‑ups in many cases — to lenders and brokers. We do not handle personal or sole trader vehicle finance enquiries.
Common lender checks and criteria include:
- Minimum finance amount — we focus on facilities from around £10,000 upwards.
- Trading history — some funders require a minimum trading period; specialist lenders may support newer businesses.
- Business credit profile and director credit checks — depending on the lender, checks may be soft or hard.
- Vehicle age, condition and mileage — finance for new and used vehicles is available but terms vary.
- VAT status and taxation considerations — relevant for hire purchase and lease structures.
- Deposit level and intended vehicle use (commercial vs private) — these impact rates and product suitability.
If your business has a complex credit history, some partner lenders specialise in “imperfect credit” cases — tell us on the form so we can match you appropriately. Free Eligibility Check
Typical terms, deposits & costs — what to expect
Vehicle finance costs depend on product, vehicle value, credit profile and lender. Key elements to check on any quote:
- APR / interest rate: reflects the cost of borrowing — will vary between lenders and product types.
- Deposit: often 0–20% depending on lender and vehicle age; higher deposits usually reduce monthly cost.
- Fees: arrangement fees, documentation fees or early settlement charges may apply.
- Balloon / residual payments: larger final payments can reduce monthly costs but must be planned for.
- Mileage and maintenance limits: operating leases often include mileage caps and optional maintenance packages.
- VAT treatment: differs by product and whether the vehicle is VAT‑qualifying for the business.
Always compare total cost of hire (TCO) and contract terms, not just monthly payments. Use our free match service to get multiple quotes and compare all costs. Compare Quotes Now
