Leasing for Businesses with an Overseas Parent Company or Shareholders
A UK subsidiary of an international group, or a company with overseas shareholders? We work with a specialist service built around exactly this ownership structure.
UK subsidiaries of international groups, or companies with significant overseas shareholders, can find standard business leasing underwriting doesn't fit their ownership structure — even when the UK entity itself is well established.
Through our specialist partner service, we help internationally owned UK businesses secure the cars and vans they need, with underwriting built around overseas parent companies and shareholder structures from the outset.
As with our other specialist business routes, this sits alongside standard leasing — our team can advise which option best fits your company's specific ownership and reporting structure.
