Leasing for Businesses with Overseas Directors
UK-registered but directed from abroad? Standard lenders can make this difficult. We work with a specialist service built for exactly this situation.
Many UK-registered companies are run by directors who are based overseas and are not UK residents. This can create real friction with mainstream leasing providers, whose underwriting is built around UK-resident applicants.
Through our specialist partner service, we support UK companies with overseas directors to secure the vehicles they need, taking a underwriting approach designed around this exact scenario rather than treating it as an exception.
This route sits alongside our standard business leasing options, and our team can advise on which is the right fit for your company's specific ownership and management structure.
