How much could my business borrow for a car?

How much you can borrow depends on the price of the vehicle, your deposit, the repayment term, interest rate and your business credit score. As a guide, on a £25,000 vehicle with a 10% deposit (£2,500), here is what the repayments could look like at a rate of 11% APR.

A longer term brings your monthly repayment down, but you will pay more in total interest over the life of the deal. Your actual rate will depend on your business credit score, how established your business is and which lender you are matched with. For example, on the same £25,000 vehicle over 3 years, a rate of 7% APR would bring your monthly repayment down to around £695, while a rate of 19% APR would push it up to around £825. If you want a more accurate number based on your own business, search for funding with Capitalise.

What affects your business car finance rate?

A few key factors influence the rate and the amount you are offered.

  • Your business credit score and trading history

  • The size of your deposit

  • The age, make and value of the vehicle

  • How long you want to repay the finance over

  • Whether the vehicle is new or used

Lenders use these details to work out the risk of lending to your business, so a stronger credit profile and a larger deposit will usually get you a better rate.

What types of business car finance can I use this calculator for?

  • Finance lease

    Pay to use the car over an agreed period, with the option to extend, return or buy it at the end.

  • Hire purchase

    Pay a deposit then fixed monthly instalments. You own the car once the agreement ends.

  • Operating lease

    Similar to a finance lease, but often includes maintenance and servicing in the price.

  • Contract hire

    A fixed monthly rental for an agreed term and mileage, with the car returned at the end.
