Business van hire
A van for your business, whatever your credit.
Yes, your business can hire a van without years of accounts or perfect credit. We match UK companies to flexible short-term van hire, roughly 1 to 36 months, judged on what the business can afford now. All credit welcome, and getting a quote involves no credit check.

Built for the businesses the mainstream turns away
Van finance wants two or three years of accounts and a clean credit file. Plenty of good businesses don't fit that box. Our partners judge it differently.
- Registered last week? Fine
- No filed accounts yet
- Turned down elsewhere
- Limited company or sole trader
Why run the van through the business
Putting a van on the business rather than in your own name changes the maths, mostly in your favour. Here's the short version.
| Through the business | Personal | |
|---|---|---|
| VAT | Reclaim up to 100% on a van if VAT-registered | Nothing to reclaim |
| The monthly | An allowable business cost, lowers taxable profit | Paid from taxed income |
| Assessed on | What the business can afford now | Your personal credit & income |
| Commitment | Flexible short-term hire, 1–36 months | Often a multi-year lease |
VAT and tax treatment depend on your circumstances and we're not accountants, so check with yours. More detail in our VAT on a business van guide.
Get your business van options
Tell us what the business needs and roughly what you can afford each month. It takes about a minute, there's no credit check to get a quote, and we'll match you to a partner who confirms your options and the price.
Thanks — your enquiry is in.
We’ll pass your details to a suitable rental partner from our panel, and they’ll be in touch about what they can offer. As an introducer we don’t supply the vehicle ourselves, and there’s nothing more you need to send us right now — we’re not asking for any documents at this stage.
Nothing is agreed until you deal directly with the supplier and you’re happy to go ahead.

Business van hire: common questions
Can a new business lease a van?
Yes. You don't need years of accounts. Short-term business hire is judged on what the company can afford now and a director's ID, so a brand-new limited company can get a van on the road.
Do you need good credit for a business van?
It helps, but it isn't the deciding factor it is for finance. Our partners look at affordability now rather than only your credit history. All credit welcome, and no credit check to get a quote.
Can I claim the VAT back on a business van?
If your business is VAT-registered and the van is used for business, you can normally reclaim 100% of the VAT, far better than the 50% cap on a car. See our VAT guide for the detail.
What terms are available?
Flexible short-term business hire, roughly six to 36 months, with home delivery available. It's a rental, not a multi-year finance tie-in, so you're not locked in.
Are you the leasing company?
No. We're an introducer. We match your business to a suitable rental partner and we're upfront about who that is. The agreement is between your business and the supplier.
