My company is UK-registered but our director lives in Germany. Can we lease?

Yes — this is exactly the situation our specialist service is designed for. We work with underwriters who understand that UK-registered companies can have overseas-resident directors with no UK credit footprint.

What information will be required?

UK Companies House registration details, company bank statements, the director passport and international address, and where available, an international credit reference or bank statement.

Is a UK-resident guarantor required?

Not always, but it can strengthen the application significantly. We will advise on a case-by-case basis.

Can we lease multiple vehicles?

Yes, provided each application passes underwriting assessment. We can discuss fleet requirements with our specialist team.
