If your business owns commercial vans outright - or is close to owning them - sale and leaseback allows you to release that equity as working capital while keeping the vans in full operation. You sell the van to a finance company, which then leases it back to you on a finance lease or hire purchase basis. The van never leaves your site. The capital goes into your business.

How Van Sale and Leaseback Works

  • DBF values your van(s) and identifies a suitable lender
  • The lender purchases the van(s) from you at an agreed value
  • You immediately lease the van(s) back - fixed monthly payments
  • The van(s) remain in your possession and operation throughout
  • At the end of the lease term: hand back, sell, or refinance
FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What vans qualify for sale and leaseback?

Lenders typically require the van to be under 7 years old with reasonable mileage and in good condition. The asset must have clear title (no existing finance outstanding). We'll advise on eligibility for your specific vehicles.

How much can I release through sale and leaseback?

Typically 70–90% of the current market value of the van, depending on the lender and the van's condition and age. We will give you an indicative figure based on your vehicle details.

Is the sale and leaseback arrangement visible to customers or suppliers?

No. It is a private financial arrangement. The van continues to operate as normal and there is no change to your business operations or branding.

What if I have more than one van?

Fleet sale and leaseback works in exactly the same way. We can arrange the transaction across multiple vehicles as a single deal, which may also improve the terms available.
