Van Finance

Fast turnarounds - 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 van finance can often be as straightforward as funding a car.

Lenders - We have a range of banks and lenders who will fund vans, some of which won’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 to 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 start limited companies) or partnerships are all eligible to apply. 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 van finance calculator below allows you to get an estimate of payments depending upon your anticipated credit score.

Types of LCV - Typical transactions include SWB, MWB and LWB van finance, dropside and tipper truck finance & pickup truck finance.

The Process - The application process is simple. Use our commercial vehicle & van finance calculator below, call us for a quote or simply apply 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.
  • An approval in principle service, so you can then find your specific vehicle knowing you've already been pre-approved for finance. Use the acceptance to buy a vehicle from any reputable dealer near you without having to re-apply.
  • 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.

Commercial Vehicle & Van Finance Calculator

Find out what your monthly payments might look like with our hire purchase vehicle finance calculator (other types of finance available).

Find your monthly payment

How do I use the vehicle finance calculator?

Our finance calculator will help to give you an idea of what your monthly payments might look like for the price of vehicle you're looking to buy.

Step 1 - All you need to do is enter the price of the vehicle (inc VAT for vans) at the top.
Step 2 - Choose how long you’d like to pay the loan back over.
Step 3 - Adjust your total deposit amount (this can be made up of either a cash deposit, a part exchange value or a combination of both).
Step 4 - Then select your anticipated credit score.

The finance calculator will then provide an estimate of your repayments.

How do I use the finance calculator if I already have a payment in mind?

If you already have a budget in mind just enter your anticipated credit score first, then simply adjust the price of the vehicle, deposit and repayment period until you hit your payment. This will provide an indication for the price of vehicle you may need to look for.

Please note: The vehicle finance calculator is designed to give you an estimate of how much you could expect to pay each month based on the terms you select. The rates and payments quoted can change based on your individual circumstances, the lender from our panel that approves you, and the type, age or mileage of vehicle you choose.

I've worked out my payments, how do I check if I'm eligible for the quote?

While the finance calculator can give you a good indication of what your monthly repayments might look like, everyone’s credit circumstances are different and finance is subject to status.

To find out whether you could be approved in principle for finance, simply complete our quick application form by clicking the appropriate "Apply Now" button at the bottom of the calculator for either a business or a private individual and, if approved, one of our team will give you a call to talk you through the next steps.
