Limited Company Eligibility for UK limited companies

What lenders look at

  • The company: age, sector and Companies House status.
  • The director: often a personal guarantee and credit check.
  • The van: age, mileage and value. It’s the security.
  • The deal: deposit, term and whether it’s VAT-qualifying.

Why we can place harder cases

We’re a credit broker, not a single lender, so instead of forcing you into one product, we take your situation to a panel and find the fit. New companies, thin files, used vans and prior declines are our normal, not a problem.

How to improve your odds

  • Have a deposit ready if your file is thin.
  • Be willing to give a director’s guarantee.
  • Pick a van with history and sensible mileage.
  • Give accurate details so we match the right lender first time.

FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we hear most, on eligibility, credit checks and how the process works.

Can a brand-new limited company get van finance?
Often yes. Because the van secures the finance, panel lenders can consider day-one companies, a deposit or director’s guarantee helps. Decisions are subject to status.
Will checking affect my credit score?
We use a soft check to explore options, which doesn’t affect your credit score. A full application later may involve a hard check, we’ll always tell you first.
Do you guarantee approval?
No. No responsible broker can. All finance is subject to status and eligibility. What we can do is match you to the lenders most likely to say yes.
