When van finance may fit
Van finance may be reviewed for new vans, used vans, fleet additions, replacements or specialist conversions.
Lenders may look at vehicle age, mileage, supplier, deposit, business trading history, bank conduct and whether the van is core to the business.
What documents help
Useful documents include vehicle quote, registration details where known, accounts, bank statements, management figures and existing vehicle finance details.
If the van is part of a larger expansion, explain the work, contract or route that supports repayments.
When another route may be needed
If the need is for wages, stock, VAT or general cash flow, a business loan or invoice finance route may be more relevant than vehicle finance.
