Standard asset HP (fixed instalments) is set up for UK-registered businesses buying clearly identifiable, commercially necessary equipment. Lenders will look at your ability to service monthly instalments and, for many deals, you may need a trading history of around 6 to 12 months, depending on lender and deal size. Deals commonly run for 12 to 60 months, often 24 to 48 months for many plant or vehicles purchases. Amounts can typically stretch from £50,000 to £600,000 total asset value, which is why £450k is a common target for mid-to-large equipment. Decision times are often same week to 2 to 3 weeks for asset-backed HP, with pricing depending on risk, deposit and term.

HP with balloon uses the same core approach as standard HP, but lenders pay closer attention to affordability on the lower instalments and the plan for the end-of-term balloon. Deposit requirements can also be higher for balloon structures. Lenders assess the asset’s residual value and marketability to support the final payment. Typical amounts can range from £100,000 to £800,000, with balloon terms often 36 to 60 months within wider 24 to 72 month ranges. Pricing is contract-specific and may sit broadly in similar APR bands to standard HP depending on assumptions, but it is deal-sensitive, particularly around balloon size. Timelines are commonly 2 to 4 weeks because of the additional residual and end-of-term risk checks.

Motor or vehicle HP for fleets or single assets is designed for businesses purchasing eligible vehicles, typically cars and vans through to lorries and other specialist vehicles where the finance agreement treats them as eligible equipment. Eligibility and approvals usually consider standard credit and affordability checks, plus vehicle details such as whether new or used and, where relevant, age and mileage. Terms often run 12 to 60 months, with many commercial vehicle deals falling around 24 to 48 months. Typical amounts for vehicle arrangements can start at £25,000 and reach £500,000+ depending on fleet size. A £450,000 ticket can support larger fleets or multiple vehicles via one structured deal. Straightforward single-vehicle deals can be faster, sometimes 3 to 10 working days after all details are provided, while fleet or grouped deals are often around 2 to 3 weeks due to verification and documentation.
