Exeter FAQs
Common questions about asset finance in Exeter
Can I early-settle?+
Yes — most HP and lease agreements allow early settlement, with a settlement figure typically reflecting outstanding capital plus a small interest rebate.
Is VAT deferred?+
On HP, the full VAT is reclaimed upfront. On lease, VAT is paid per rental. Different cashflow profiles for the same kit.
What about a single van for a sole trader?+
Yes — sole-trader asset finance is widely available for vehicles and tools. Limits and rates vary with trading history.
What about residual values?+
On finance lease and operating lease, residuals can lower the rental cost — but with end-of-term obligations to manage. We'll explain trade-offs.
Can asset finance fund a fit-out?+
Yes — many lenders fund fit-out, partitioning, racking and similar capital items as part of an asset finance facility.
What if my business is newly trading?+
Limited options but real ones — first-time finance for new businesses is achievable, often with personal guarantees and tighter limits.
