FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Does Shawbrook do van finance for partnerships and LLPs?

Yes. Shawbrook's underwriting team can handle partnership and LLP structures that some lenders' automated systems reject. This is a genuine differentiator.

Is Shawbrook more expensive than mainstream lenders?

Not necessarily. For complex structures or cases where mainstream lenders decline, Shawbrook often offers competitive pricing. For straightforward limited company applications with clean credit, mainstream lenders may be marginally cheaper - we'll compare both and advise.
