How do I arrange used van finance online - Then buy from any reputable dealer?

Fast turnarounds - Used vans and commercials are often an essential vehicle for many businesses to operate. Proactive Vehicle & Equipment Finance recognise that speed is of the essence when purchasing a new or used commercial vehicle, so our processes have been adapted accordingly and funding a van can often be as straightforward as funding a car.

Lenders - We have a range of banks and lenders who will fund used vans, some of which don’t require the VAT as deposit leaving you free to finance the full price of the van if you wish (subject to status and underwriting). From a simple application you gain access our broad panel of banks and specialist lenders without having to apply multiple times to each one. We can also provide quotations for Lease Purchase where a balloon payment at the end is factored in, making the monthly payments lower than an equivalent Hire Purchase quote (please call for an individual Lease Purchase quote).

Customers - Self employed, limited companies (including new or recently established) or partnerships are all eligible to apply. Just like our car finance, we can look at customers with lower credit scores too, so don’t worry if you've been turned down by your bank or local motor dealer. Some people have had problems in the past but are back on track now, and our panel of lenders include those who will take a considered approach (finance is subject to status). Our vehicle finance calculator below allows you to get an estimate of payments taking into account people with 'excellent credit,' people with 'bad credit' and people with credit that is 'somewhere in between' the two.

Types of LCV - Typical transactions include SWB, MWB and LWB panel van finance, dropside and tipper finance, minibus finance, pickup truck finance, Ford Transit finance, Renault Trafic finance, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter finance, Vauxhall Vivaro finance, VW Caddy finance, Citroen Dispatch finance, Peugeot Expert finance etc.

The Process - The application process is simple. Use our commercial vehicle & van finance calculator from the menu above, call us for a quote or simply click the blue Apply button above and we will get straight to work to arrange your finance. Once approved, you can then find a vehicle at a reputable dealer (subject to our dealer checks) and we’ll have the funds sent directly to them so you can arrange collection or delivery.

Our service - There is no fee for our service and we provide:

  • Access to our online vehicle finance calculators.
  • Access to our credit application and eligibility check.
  • Access to a broad range of high street banks and other specialist lenders.
  • A dedicated relationship manager service to guide you through the quotation, application, vehicle search and collection/delivery process.
  • Future client support.

What's the catch? There isn't one, this is how it should be. Our aim is to build long and lasting relationships with our business and private customers, it's as simple as that.
