How Fast Business Loans Helps You Secure Vehicle Finance
Fast Business Loans is a specialist introducer for UK companies seeking business vehicle funding. We don’t lend directly — instead we use a concise enquiry to match your requirements with brokers and lenders who have sector experience and suitable products. Our aim is to save you time and connect you to options that fit your industry, vehicle type and borrowing needs.
We Match You With Trusted Vehicle Finance Specialists
- Curated panel of brokers and lenders experienced with commercial vehicle lending.
- Matches based on your vehicle type, credit profile and business sector to improve relevance.
- Free, no‑obligation enquiry — we only share your details with relevant providers after you submit.
Finance Options for Every Type of Business Vehicle
We can connect you with providers who fund: vans, LCVs, rigid trucks, articulated HGVs, refrigerated vehicles, minibuses, accessible transport, plant transporters and full fleets — including electric vehicles and specialist conversions.
What Vehicle Finance Options Can We Connect You With?
| Finance Type | Typical Use Cases | Typical Amount / Terms | Useful When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hire Purchase (HP) | Buying new or used vans/trucks | £10k → £250k+, fixed terms 1–5 years | You want to own the vehicle at the end of payments |
| Finance Lease | Specialist vehicles, plant transport | Flexible terms, often with VAT-allowable structures | Tax-efficient off-balance or fixed-term use |
| Operating Lease / Contract Hire | Company cars, fleet renewals | Monthly rentals, typical 2–5 years | You prefer pay-as-you-go and maintenance packages |
| Balloon / Residual Options | Lower monthly costs with final lump sum | Customised residuals to reduce monthly outlay | Improve cash flow with a deferred payment |
| Asset Refinance | Release working capital from existing vehicle assets | Depends on equity in assets | Free up cash without selling vehicles |
| Fleet Funding Bundles | Multiple vehicles for logistics and delivery | Packages from £50k upwards | Co-ordinated renewals, central billing and telemetry options |
Providers can structure finance for new or used vehicles and increasingly for electric vehicles (EVs) and conversions. Each solution has different tax and maintenance implications — our matched brokers can explain which is most suitable.

Vehicle Finance FAQs Answered by Our Specialists
What types of business vehicle finance can I apply for through Fast Business Loans?
We connect you with providers offering hire purchase, finance lease, operating lease/contract hire, balloon/residual arrangements, fleet packages and asset refinance. We’ll match you to providers who specialise in the vehicle type you need.
Can start-ups or younger businesses access vehicle finance?
Yes. Many lenders and brokers consider younger companies, subject to affordability and supporting information. Providers may ask for management accounts, bank statements or a business plan to assess the application.
Do I need to provide a deposit for vehicle finance?
Some products require a deposit, others offer low or zero-deposit options. A larger deposit often reduces monthly payments. Your matched broker can explain trade-offs for your situation.
Can I finance electric or specialist vehicles?
Yes. We regularly connect businesses with lenders experienced in EVs, refrigerated units, accessible vehicles and specialist conversions — including funding that considers grants or incentive schemes where applicable.
Will applying affect my credit score?
Submitting our enquiry does not affect your credit score. If you proceed with a chosen lender or broker they may perform formal credit checks as part of their assessment.
How quickly can I get a quote or funding decision?
Many businesses receive an initial response within hours during business days. Final approval and funding depend on documentation, vehicle sourcing and lender processes — it can be same-day to several weeks.
Are there options if I already have vehicles on finance?
Yes. Asset refinance and consolidation options are available to restructure or release capital from existing vehicle assets. We can match you with brokers who specialise in refinance solutions.
What information will I need to share in the enquiry?
Basic business details, trading history, vehicle type required, estimated finance amount and contact details. Matched providers may later request accounts or bank statements for underwriting.
How does Fast Business Loans get paid?
We’re paid by our broker or lender partners when a transaction completes. There’s no fee for businesses to use our matching service.
Is your service regulated?
Fast Business Loans acts as an introducer. Decisions about suitability, terms and approvals are made by the lenders or brokers you are introduced to — please speak to them for product-specific regulation and terms.
What to Consider Before Choosing Vehicle Finance
Use this checklist to compare options and confirm affordability:
- Expected total cost of ownership (finance cost + fuel/energy + servicing + insurance).
- Who pays for maintenance and repairs (lease packages vs ownership).
- VAT treatment and whether the product suits your tax position — consult your accountant.
- Mileage limits on leases and penalties for excess mileage.
- Early termination or settlement options and any associated charges.
- Incentives for EVs or low-emission vehicles and how they affect finance terms.
Advice: speak to your accountant or financial adviser to confirm tax treatment and ensure the agreement is affordable. We do not provide financial advice — we introduce you to providers who can.
