The ambition

A growing electrical wholesaler needed two Citroën Relay vans to keep up with demand, but buying outright would have drained working capital.

How the finance was structured

Secured a VAT-only deposit Hire Purchase agreement over 48 months with Tier 1 lender funding, sourcing the two vans from separate dealers to bring the purchase price down.

What it made possible

Funds paid out within 5 hours of documents being submitted, giving the client two new vans, low upfront cost, predictable repayments and a route to future ownership.

  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.

Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
