The ambition

A London-based car rental business needed to expand its fleet with premium used vehicles to meet growing customer demand, while keeping monthly costs structured and predictable across multiple acquisitions.

How the finance was structured

Sourced hire purchase funding for a used Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD SUV and a used Hyundai Santa Fe Premium Hybrid, each structured over a 48 month term at a fixed flat rate. A third vehicle, a 2023 Kia Niro 1.6h GDi, has since been approved on the same terms to continue the fleet expansion.

What it made possible

The Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Santa Fe have both been paid out and delivered, adding two vehicles to the business's rental fleet within around three weeks of application. The Kia Niro has been accepted on the even better terms and is ready to fund as soon as the supplier invoice is received, bringing the fleet expansion to three vehicles.

  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.
