Understanding Tanker Finance

Tanker finance through asset financing is designed to help businesses acquire essential tanker vehicles while preserving cash flow. It involves spreading the cost of purchasing a tanker over a specified period, usually with fixed monthly repayments. This enables businesses to maintain capital for other operational costs or investments while benefitting immediately from the asset.

Tankers are critical to various industries, from fuel distribution and agricultural operations to chemical transportation and waste management services. Having reliable tanker vehicles allows businesses to operate efficiently and meet industry standards and regulations. Tanker finance ensures these essential vehicles are within financial reach without significant upfront expenses.

Types of Tankers We Finance

At First Oak Capital, we understand the diverse requirements of businesses across various industries. We offer asset finance solutions for numerous tanker types, including:

• Fuel and Oil Tankers: Essential for petroleum products, diesel, gasoline, and other fuels. We finance rigid and articulated fuel tankers, ensuring your fleet can safely and efficiently transport energy resources.
• Water and Wastewater Tankers: Used extensively in agricultural operations, construction sites, and environmental management for transporting clean and waste water.
• Vacuum Tankers: Ideal for septic tank emptying, gully emptying, and industrial site maintenance. Vacuum tankers play a crucial role in environmental services, drainage, and waste management.
• Chemical and Hazardous Materials Tankers: Specifically designed to safely transport chemicals and hazardous substances. We provide financing for tankers meeting stringent regulatory requirements (ADR-compliant vehicles).
• Food-grade and Milk Tankers: Essential for transporting perishable food items and dairy products, these tankers must meet strict hygiene and refrigeration standards.

Our extensive understanding of these assets ensures you’ll receive expert advice and flexible financing tailored to your business requirements.

Supporting New Businesses and Limited Companies

Starting a new business or operating as a newly registered limited company comes with unique financial challenges. Often, traditional lenders and dealerships are hesitant to provide funding without a proven trading history. At First Oak Capital, we specialise in helping new businesses overcome these barriers.

We provide targeted support to new limited companies by:

• Assisting in clearly presenting your business case to our network of specialist lenders.
• Helping emphasise your industry experience, secured contracts, or anticipated revenue streams to strengthen your application.
• Offering asset finance solutions that don’t rely exclusively on extensive trading history.
• Enabling your business to quickly secure the necessary tanker vehicles to commence or expand operations.

Our goal is to provide practical finance solutions when traditional avenues might otherwise be unavailable, ensuring your business can start or scale without unnecessary financial hurdles.

Finance for Used Tankers

Buying a used tanker can be a strategic and cost-effective decision. At First Oak Capital, we regularly finance pre-owned tanker vehicles, providing robust asset finance options for vehicles sourced from:

• Reputable dealerships and specialised commercial vehicle suppliers
• Auctions and fleet disposal sales
• Private sellers (subject to thorough due diligence)

We ensure the used tankers meet lender standards, are roadworthy, and appropriate for your business needs. Our efficient processes allow you to secure finance promptly, enabling quick acquisition and utilisation of your tanker asset.

The Tanker Finance Process Explained

Securing finance for your tanker vehicles through First Oak Capital is straightforward and efficient:

Step 1: Initial Contact

• Contact us by completing our online application form or speaking directly with one of our specialists by phone.

Step 2: Requirement Analysis

• We’ll discuss your specific business needs, the tanker model you’re looking to finance, your desired terms, and budgetary considerations.

Step 3: Securing the Best Finance Options

• Leveraging our extensive lender network, we identify and secure the most suitable and competitive financing solutions for your needs.

Step 4: Reviewing and Choosing Your Option

• We clearly explain your finance options, including repayment terms, interest rates, and any other relevant details, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making.

Step 5: Finalising the Finance and Taking Delivery

Dealing with Poor Credit History

Financial setbacks happen, and we understand this. At First Oak Capital, a poor credit history doesn’t automatically mean rejection. Our approach involves partnering with lenders who take a holistic view of your business, assessing overall affordability, future business potential, and current viability rather than purely focusing on credit scores or past financial issues.

Whether your business has experienced missed payments, defaults, CCJs, or other financial issues, our team will work closely with you to explore suitable finance options. Our commitment is to provide flexible and fair asset finance solutions, enabling your business to secure the essential tanker assets it needs to move forward positively.
