Recovery truck finance for roadside and transport businesses

A recovery truck is a working asset that needs to be available when customers need it. Sorbus Finance helps breakdown, transport, and vehicle recovery businesses compare finance for new, used, and specialist recovery vehicles. We match the vehicle’s specification and operational role with lenders that understand commercial transport.

Built around the asset

Finance that reflects how you will use it

We can discuss flatbed transporters, beavertail vehicles, low loaders, wheel-lift trucks, and recovery bodies. The vehicle’s specification and the work it will support help shape the application.

Why businesses use asset finance

Keep your fleet available

Fund another vehicle or replace an unreliable one while preserving cash for insurance, fuel, staffing, and maintenance.

Structure for the business

We can compare ownership and lease options for operators, garages, motor factors, and recovery networks.

Support for specialist vehicles

Recovery bodies and conversions need more context than a standard commercial vehicle. We present that detail to suitable lenders.

Finance structures

Choose the structure that fits your plans

The right option depends on whether ownership, monthly cost, flexibility, or regular replacement matters most to your business. We will explain the trade-offs before you apply.

Hire purchase

Ownership-focused finance

With hire purchase, the finance company buys the asset and you make fixed monthly payments over an agreed term. Once all payments are made, ownership passes to you, usually after a nominal option-to-purchase fee.

Finance lease

Use the asset without owning it

With a finance lease, the lender retains ownership while your business pays to use the asset over the agreed term. At the end, you can usually extend the lease or sell the asset on the lender’s behalf and retain a share of the proceeds.

Operating lease

Useful for regular upgrades

An operating lease is generally shorter than the asset’s useful life. You return or replace the asset at the end of the term, which can suit equipment that needs regular upgrades. Your accountant can advise on the accounting treatment for your business.
