What counts as “logistics business loans”
Logistics businesses use several types of finance depending on the need. Specialist lenders and brokers can provide more flexible options than generalist lenders — that’s why matching matters.
Fleet & vehicle finance
Hire purchase, lease, contract hire and refinance for vans, rigid trucks, artic units and specialist trailers. Typical uses: replacing ageing vehicles, acquiring new tractors, or funding leased fleets while preserving cashflow.
Asset & equipment finance
Funding for forklifts, pallet racking, telematics hardware and other essential equipment. Allows you to spread cost while keeping operations running.

Who can apply and typical eligibility
We connect limited companies, LLPs and established SMEs operating in haulage, distribution, 3PL, warehousing and transport services. Typical factors lenders consider include:
- Trading history and cashflow performance.
- Annual turnover and profitability.
- Amount requested (we typically place enquiries from around £10,000 upwards).
- Vehicle age, mileage and type for fleet finance.
- Director(s) credit profiles and existing business debt levels.
You may still qualify with imperfect credit, previous refusals or short trading history — some lenders specialise in such cases. The quickest way to check is to submit a free enquiry so we can match you with suitable partners.

How a free, no‑impact enquiry works — step by step
Here’s a clear, simple process so you know what will happen when you start an enquiry. Submitting an enquiry is a soft/no‑impact check — lenders only do hard credit checks if you choose to proceed with an application.
Step 1 — Complete the short enquiry form
Click Get Quote Now and fill in basic business details: company name, approximate annual turnover, type of funding required, estimated amount, and a contact phone/email. It normally takes around 2 minutes.
Step 2 — We match you to suitable lenders & brokers
Using the information you provide, we select lenders and brokers from our panel who specialise in logistics finance and are likely to consider your request.
Step 3 — Receive quotes and eligibility checks
Matched partners will typically contact you by phone or email to run a quick eligibility check and provide indicative quotes or next steps — often within hours during business days.
Step 4 — Compare offers and decide
You review the options, ask questions and decide whether to progress to a formal application. There’s no obligation to accept any offer.
Important: we are an introducer. We do not provide regulated financial advice or make lending decisions — our role is to connect you with lenders/brokers who can help.
What information & documents you’ll likely need
To speed up the matching and quote process, have the following ready where possible:
- Company name and registration number.
- Approximate annual turnover and the amount you need.
