Vivek Jain Eve Phillips Ryan Andreas Rupert Langerman Daniel Weisz Financing one company van or a whole fleet of company vans makes good business sense. Instead of putting strain on cashflow and tying up hard-won capital in your vehicles, spread the cost out over time. Pay for your vans as you use them to make money for your business. Choose from purchase or lease options, refinance an existing commercial vehicle, even free up liquid cash from vans you already own. Whichever route you choose, van finance for business puts you in the driving seat.

Yes, you could get a van on finance as long as your business has sufficient income to repay the loan.
Business van finance rates start as low as 3%.
Yes, although you may be asked to pay a higher deposit or higher interest rate and fees. Even if you have been turned down elsewhere, it may still be possible to secure the business van finance you need.
Yes. Lenders will usually ask to see one to two years trading figures before providing a loan, but there are special business van finance deals for new businesses and startups. Note that you may be asked to provide a personal guarantee and/or pay a higher rate of interest on your loan.
Yes. Business van finance can be used to buy or lease new and used commercial vehicles.
Yes. A significant advantage to buying or leasing a company van over purchasing a company car is that 100% of the van’s cost can be claimed as a capital allowance. This means that the full value of the van is offset against your company profits, which reduces the amount of corporation you may pay. Additionally, you can usually reclaim 100% of the VAT element of the van’s purchase or leasing cost, and van operating costs, such as fuel, MOT and repairs are also tax deductible.
Yes. Lease payments and HP payments for commercial vans are 100% tax deductible.
Yes, although they will buy their commercial vehicle in the same way that they would buy a car - as a private citizen, not a limited company. Van costs are 100% tax deductible for sole traders and if they are registered for VAT, they may reclaim 100% of the VAT element of the lease or purchase cost.
Yes, although you may be required to pay a higher rate of interest and fees.
Yes, if your business makes a profit. Van purchase, lease and operating costs are 100% tax deductible. These costs may be set against annual profits, which will reduce the net income liable to corporation tax for limited companies, or income tax for sole traders.
Yes, although you may be required to pay a higher deposit, and/or rate of interest and fees.
This depends on your business’ financial circumstances and what your long-term intentions for the van are. If you wish to eventually own the van, then a finance deal may be best for you, but keep in mind that this will usually mean higher monthly payments than leasing. If you only want the van for the term of the contract and do not wish to ever own it, and you want lower monthly payments, leasing may be the better option for you.
