Asset finance with bad credit
Answer in brief
Asset finance is one of the more accessible types of funding with bad credit, because the lender can recover the asset. Specialist lenders may approve you with a larger deposit, a shorter term or a personal guarantee. Expect higher rates, and compare the total amount repayable.
Improving your chances
- Explain any credit problems upfront
- Offer a bigger deposit
- Choose an asset that holds its value
- Show steady recent bank statements
Watch out for
High fees hidden in the small print, and anyone asking for an upfront payment before approval.
