Leasing for Businesses with Overseas Directors
Got a Scottish company with a director based overseas? Standard leasing criteria often don’t fit — our specialist partner service is built for exactly this.
Plenty of UK leasing providers struggle to assess a company where a director isn’t UK-resident, even when the business itself is genuinely UK-trading and creditworthy.
Through our specialist partner service at short-term-leasing.co.uk, applications from UK companies with overseas directors are assessed on their own terms — non-residency isn’t treated as an automatic barrier.
This sits alongside our standard business leasing range, so once your application is assessed you get the same access to cars, vans, subscriptions and fixed-term leases as any other business customer.
