The structure is similar, but stage carriage operators may have different depreciation profiles and lender preferences. Specialist lenders who understand route revenue are the right fit.
What deposit is typically required for coach finance?
Typically 10-20% of the vehicle value. Executive coaches at higher values may require a larger initial payment from some lenders.
