What are the benefits of this type of electric van finance?
Craig, our Head of Underwriting, is on hand to talk you through why Hire Purchase could be the most suitable option for you:
"One of the main advantages of Hire Purchase is that because of the fixed instalments, you know exactly how much you'll be paying every week or month. This makes it easier for you to plan with certainty, and there are no nasty balloon payments at the end of the term. We can offer electric van finance on a variety of makes and models, too. And it might be that we can lend to you without needing a deposit. In that case, you'll have more money to squirrel away, or to put towards other costs such as road tax and insurance."
