Electric Car Finance for New Businesses – Smart, Sustainable Asset Finance
At First Oak Capital, we understand that getting started in business isn’t easy—especially when it comes to funding essential vehicles like electric cars. Whether you’re running a courier service, launching a client-facing startup, or managing private hire transport, an electric car can be both a practical and eco-conscious choice.
We specialise in providing electric car finance for new businesses, including newly registered limited companies. Our team works with a large panel of specialist lenders who understand that a lack of trading history shouldn’t stop you from getting the vehicle you need.

What is Electric Car Finance?
Electric car finance for your new business allows you to spread the cost of your vehicle over time, so you can drive away now while preserving your capital. We offer both:
- Hire Purchase – Make fixed payments and own the vehicle at the end
- Finance Lease – Pay for use of the car, often with lower monthly costs
Both options help new businesses secure the right electric vehicles while keeping cash flow healthy and avoiding large upfront costs.
Why Electric Cars Make Sense for Start-ups
Electric vehicles are increasingly attractive to new businesses. Here’s why:
- Lower Running Costs – Save on fuel and maintenance
- Government Incentives – Grants and tax advantages for EVs
- ULEZ & CAZ Compliance – Avoid charges in city zones
- Professional Image – Show clients you’re eco-conscious and forward-thinking
Whether you’re delivering goods, meeting clients, or providing transport services, electric cars offer long-term savings and a strong image.
Supporting New Businesses and Limited Companies
We specialise in helping:
- New Ltd Companies with no filed accounts
- Start-ups purchasing their first business vehicle
- Businesses turned away by dealers or banks
Unlike mainstream lenders, our panel includes funders who understand new ventures. We’ll take time to learn about your business, review any contracts or plans, and present your application in the best possible light.
Electric Cars We Finance
We finance a wide range of electric cars, including:
- Tesla Model 3 / Model Y
- Nissan Leaf
- Hyundai Ioniq & Kona Electric
- Kia EV6 & e-Niro
- BMW i3 & i4
- Polestar 2

We work with approved dealers and can also finance vehicles from private sellers (subject to checks). Electric van finance can also be provided for your new company.
Used Electric Vehicle Finance
Buying a used EV is a smart way to lower costs. We can arrange asset finance for used electric cars that are:
- Sourced from dealerships
- Bought at auction
- Purchased from private sellers (subject to due diligence)
We ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and the deal is structured fairly and clearly.
