Specialist Finance

Van Fleet Finance

Fleet van finance for businesses ordering multiple vehicles. Hire purchase, contract hire, and operating lease options with fleet management from all major manufacturers.

Fleet Finance

Finance your entire van fleet in one arrangement

Managing a van fleet is complex enough without the added burden of arranging individual finance for each vehicle. Fleet finance consolidates your funding into a single managed arrangement, giving you better rates, simpler administration, and predictable costs.

Whether you are establishing a new fleet, replacing ageing vehicles, or expanding to meet growing demand, we source competitive fleet finance from specialist providers who understand the operational needs of fleet-dependent businesses.

Comprehensive fleet funding solutions

Multiple Vehicle Orders

Finance for fleets of 3 to 100+ vans in a single arrangement. Bulk ordering typically attracts better rates from both dealers and finance providers.

Hire Purchase

Own the fleet at the end of the agreement. Fixed monthly payments per vehicle, building equity across your fleet. Ideal for businesses that run vehicles for their full useful life.

Contract Hire

Fixed monthly rental per vehicle with maintenance, servicing, and breakdown cover included. Predictable costs, no residual value risk, and easy fleet replacement at contract end.

Operating Lease

Lower monthly payments with vehicles returned at lease end. Keep your fleet current with regular replacement cycles. Potentially off-balance-sheet depending on your accounting treatment.

Fleet Management

Many of our finance partners offer integrated fleet management including servicing schedules, tyre management, breakdown cover, and replacement vehicle provision.

All Major Manufacturers

Ford, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall, Renault, and more. We finance fleets from all major van manufacturers and can accommodate mixed-brand requirements.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is specialist finance?

Specialist finance covers funding for assets and sectors that sit outside mainstream lending - agricultural machinery, construction plant, commercial vehicle fleets, equestrian property, farm diversification and similar. Lenders in this space understand the asset and the industry, not just a credit score.

What assets can be financed?

New and used agricultural machinery, tractors, diggers and excavators, HGVs and trucks, vans and fleet vehicles, farm equipment, livestock facilities, equestrian buildings and land - essentially any identifiable income-producing or business-critical asset.

How is specialist finance structured?

Most commonly as hire purchase (you own the asset at the end) or finance lease (lender retains title and leases to you). Refinance and sale-and-leaseback options are also available to release capital from assets you already own.

What deposit and term applies?

Typical deposits are 10-20% of asset value. Terms run from 2 to 7 years depending on the asset's useful life and your preferred cash flow. Balloon payments can be structured in where helpful.

Can startups or new ventures access specialist finance?

Yes - specialist lenders routinely fund new-entrant farmers, newly-incorporated transport operators and first-time business asset buyers. Strong industry experience, a viable business plan and a reasonable deposit typically carry more weight than company trading history.
