Frequently asked questions
Can I go to Lombard directly for truck finance?
Yes, Lombard accepts direct applications. However, using a broker like Doulton Bridging Finance means we compare Lombard against our full panel - you benefit from competitive tension.
Does having a NatWest business account help with Lombard?
Potentially. Lombard and NatWest are part of the same group, and an existing banking relationship can sometimes speed the credit process or provide a more favourable view of the business.
Is Lombard suitable for smaller owner-operators?
Lombard's criteria tend to favour larger, well-established businesses. Smaller owner-operators with less than 2 years' trading or more complex credit profiles may find specialist lenders like Haydock or Aldermore more suitable.
