A van with a plan

At Vanleasing.com we stock vans from every van manufacturer in the UK, giving an almost unlimited choice. Whether our customers need a medium sized van, a larger standard panel van, or something more specialist like a dropside or tipper we will be able to help. Our most popular manufacturers include but aren’t limited to; Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Renault, Citroen, and Peugeot.

The delivery time is dependent on stock. Luckily we have access to a large number of makes and models, so if it’s in stock you could have your new van delivered to you within two weeks. If we don’t have your chosen van in stock and we need to order it, then delivery is a bit longer. If that’s the case we will let you know a delivery date when we’re going through your requirements with you.

Not really. When we are going through your requirements you will stipulate your mileage requirements, and we then build a contract around that. Generally, this starts at 8ooo miles per annum going up to around 35,000 miles. If you think you need more than that we can still help you but the process might take a little longer.

Yes, you can apply company decals to a leased van—in fact, it’s a great way to promote your business while you’re on the road.

However, it’s important to be aware that some types of leasing agreements require the vehicle to be returned at the end of the term. In these cases, any decals or branding must be professionally removed before the vehicle is handed back.

If you’re planning to brand your van, it’s best to use a reputable supplier who can both apply and remove the decals properly when the time comes.

Yes. VanLeasing.com works with lending partners who specialise in new business finance. If your business has been trading for less than 24 months, you can typically still secure a van lease by providing recent business bank statements, proof of registration, and, in some cases, a personal guarantee from a company director. You do not need two years of filed accounts to apply.

No, not at the enquiry stage. We carry out a soft credit check initially, which is not visible to other lenders and has no impact on your credit score. A hard credit search is only performed once you’ve chosen to proceed with a specific finance agreement, so that you can explore your options freely.

An initial payment is an amount you pay upfront and this is then taken off the total cost of the lease. The payment will depend on how much you are able to pay, usually, it’s anywhere from 3 to 9 months worth of payments. Like all lease agreements, the more you are able to pay upfront, the less the monthly payments will be.

We provide maintained and non-maintained packages so this one is up to you. Some people like the comfort of knowing maintenance is covered, whereas others take the view that a new van might be more reliable and so just sort this out themselves. Either way, we will help you look at the total cost to work out if maintaining is worth it for peace of mind, or if you’re better just doing this yourself.

When you lease a van, there are criteria that you have to meet. This will involve looking at the bank account and director’s information, so can be a concern for businesses that have very little or nothing to show in terms of revenue. All businesses, new or existing will be asked to share their business details, owner details, and bank details along with a full UK driving licence. 

For a start-up business, it’s likely you’ll be asked to provide further information such as a few months of business bank statements, and draft company accounts.

For a new business, we’ll typically ask for three to six months of business bank statements, your Companies House certificate or UTR number, a copy of your UK driving licence, and proof of address. If your business is very early stage, a personal guarantee from a director and evidence of contracts or confirmed work may also be requested. There’s no obligation at the enquiry stage.

Yes. Sole traders who haven’t yet filed accounts with HMRC can still apply. Instead of formal accounts, you’ll need to provide recent business bank statements, your UTR number, proof of identity, and proof of address. Evidence of current contracts or confirmed work will strengthen your application.

It depends on your circumstances. If your limited company has been trading for less than two years and has a limited financial history, most lenders will ask for a personal guarantee from at least one director. This means the director is personally liable for the lease payments if the company cannot pay. For sole traders, the lease is already in your personal name, so a separate guarantee isn’t needed. Providing a guarantee can improve your chances of approval and may help secure better rates.

We understand that your circumstances could change during the lease period therefore it is possible to end your contract. Ending your contract early will mean a charge will be incurred and that charge will be worked out based on how long you have left on your contract. Remember though, If you’re finding it difficult to pay the monthly leasing charge, speak to us, as there may be things we can do to help – like extending the contract which could lower monthly payments.

Most applications receive an initial decision within 24 to 48 hours. Straightforward cases can be approved on the same day. Applications from new businesses or those with complex credit histories may take three to five working days if the lender requests additional documentation. Once approved, delivery of an in-stock van can follow within two weeks.
