The practical answer

Potentially. Fleet funding can cover multiple vans, including phased purchases where vehicles arrive at different times.

Prepare a schedule of vehicles, expected mileage, delivery dates and courier work. Explain customer-payment terms and the costs of drivers, fuel, maintenance and insurance.

Courier or onward-hire use must be disclosed. Check the proposed agreement permits the actual operation and model lower utilisation or a contract ending early.

Important

Commercial finance is subject to status, lender approval and the specific asset and transaction. The right structure depends on the complete circumstances of the business.

What should I do next?

Have the asset details, supplier information and an outline of what the business needs ready. DCF can then discuss the requirement and identify which lenders may be suitable.
