Can I get van finance if I have bad credit?

If you have experienced bad credit in the past, we could help you secure finance for your new van and ensure you have the correct vehicle for work.

Bad Credit van finance is intended for customers with a poor credit history to get finance. We provide hire purchase van finance. Hire Purchase could be a suitable form of finance for people who are struggling to get other forms of credit such as personal loans, people with bad credit as well as people who do not want to pay cash for a vehicle.

Hire purchase could be a convenient way to pay for a vehicle based on budget and credit profile so you can get affordable monthly payments that suit your financial circumstances.

Choice of vehicle is an important part of the van finance application if you have bad credit. We would suggest you think about the costs associated with your choice of van such as fuel, insurance, tax, MOT, servicing and maintenance costs, as these will all have an influence on the affordability of the vehicle.

Also try and think about the vehicles core purpose and what kind of van you will need to carry out your work. The size of the van is an important factor to consider, try and think about the uses of it over the next 3 years to ensure you are getting the right one.

Can I get van finance if I am self-employed?

We understand that having access to a van can be essential for your work and running your own business if you are self-employed. Whether you’re a trades person, such as a builder, plumber or electrician, and need a van to carry your vital tools for work we could help you secure finance for your new van and ensure smooth running of your business.

We understand that not having a reliable monthly income from self-employment can make it more difficult to stick to repayment schedules, bringing down your credit score and making lenders a little caution about providing finance.

We are here to help, and you could still get self-employed van finance with Go Car Credit and it could even help improve your credit score!

We will review your application for van finance on an individual basis because we appreciate that every situation is different, especially with self-employed income. As a general rule, however:

We may ask you for up to three months’ worth of bank statements as proof of your income. We’ll then divide the total figure by three to get an average income and set a credit limit.

We don’t accept tax returns as proof of income or cash in hand payment. It must go into a UK bank account in your name. We can accept proof of income into a bank account in the name of your spouse or partner, but they’ll need to be added on to the finance application for it to be considered for our underwriting team.
