Leeds FAQs
Common questions about asset finance in Leeds
Do I need a deposit?+
Usually 10–20% on HP, often 0% on finance lease (with end-of-term obligations). Strong covenants can stretch leverage further.
Will my Leeds business need to provide security?+
The asset itself is the primary security. Director PGs are common but not always required, particularly on stronger covenants.
Can asset finance be combined with a business loan?+
Yes — stacking asset finance against equipment with a separate unsecured loan for working capital is often the cheapest combined approach.
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.
Can I refinance assets I already own?+
Yes — sale and HP back is a common liquidity tool for Leeds businesses. We can quote against fleet, plant or equipment within days.
How are end-of-term options handled?+
On HP, ownership passes for a nominal fee. On lease, options include continue, return or upgrade. We'll talk through the right choice early.
