A good starting point will be the manufacture or dealers facilities

they might give you a fantastic deal or they might decline you flat

failing that, go to a broker who specialises in vehicle finance (don’t be tempted by ‘we do everything leading brokers)

it won’t be an easy ride - much will depend on your relevant experience and what you have behind you

@Gordon - Commercial Finance mught be able to help

The one I lease from buy them outright from new (merc)
This has been covered a lot on here and as I always say .Very few hire companies run the business on its own . It is normally run in conjunction with two or three other businesses . You would needs hundreds of vehicles to make it viable as a stand alone business

Around 10 years ago many small hire companies closed due to the changes that the insurers made at the time
