Getting a Compliant Van on the Road Without Draining Working Capital

Outcome
3 new contracts won
The Challenge
Imagine you are a sole trader operating across Nottingham and into areas subject to ULEZ restrictions. Your existing diesel van is non-compliant, costing you daily charges and pricing you out of work in key postcodes. You need a new compliant van quickly but do not want to tie up working capital in an outright purchase.
How This Could Work
Equipment finance secured against the new vehicle, structured as hire purchase, means you own the van outright at the end of the term. Monthly repayments are structured to fit within your existing cash flow. Seven Hills Capital Group would identify the right asset finance lender for your vehicle type and profile. Approval is based on the van as security - no additional collateral required and decisions typically within 24 hours.
The Potential Outcome
New van on the road within five days of the initial enquiry. ULEZ charges stopped immediately. Three new regular contracts secured in previously restricted areas within the first month.
This is an illustrative example only. Not a guarantee of outcome. All finance is subject to status and individual lender criteria.
