How van finance works
You put down a deposit, then make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term, typically two to five years. What happens at the end depends on the agreement you choose. We are a credit broker, not a lender, so we approach the lenders whose criteria actually fit your business rather than defending a single credit policy.
Hire purchase on a van
Hire purchase is the most common route for businesses buying vans on finance. You pay a deposit and fixed instalments, and once the final payment clears the van is yours. Because a hire purchase van sits on your balance sheet as an asset from day one, it usually suits businesses that keep vehicles long term.
Finance lease and contract hire
A finance lease funds the depreciation rather than the full value, so monthly payments are lower and the VAT is normally spread across the rentals instead of paid up front. Contract hire hands the disposal risk back to the lender for a fixed monthly cost. Both suit businesses replacing vans on a cycle.
How to finance a van
The lender assesses affordability, your trading history and the vehicle itself. Getting a van on finance is usually quicker than people expect once the right lender is approached first — rather than applying to several and leaving a credit footprint each time.

Commercial van finance for businesses
Commercial van finance is assessed on the business rather than on you personally. For a limited company that usually opens up better terms than a personal agreement, and it keeps the vehicle where it belongs in your accounts. We finance vans for limited companies, sole traders, new starts and applicants with adverse credit.

Estimate your repayments
Hire Purchase illustration at a representative 8.9% APR — a quick guide only; your actual rate depends on the asset, term, deposit and lender.
Representative example: on Hire Purchase, borrowing £25,000 over 48 months at a representative 8.9% APR, you would repay around £617 a month; total amount repayable approximately £29,610. This calculator is for illustration only — it is not a quote or an offer of finance, and the rate and repayments you are offered will depend on the asset, term, deposit and your circumstances.
