Leasing for UK companies with overseas directors

Running a UK company with directors based overseas can complicate standard leasing applications. Our specialist partner has a solution built exactly for this.

Many mainstream leasing providers struggle to underwrite UK companies where one or more directors are based outside the UK. We work with our specialist partner, short-term-leasing.co.uk, to offer a dedicated route for exactly this situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the company need to be UK registered?

Yes — this route is for UK-registered companies where one or more directors are based overseas.

Does every director need to be based in the UK?

No — this route exists specifically because standard underwriting struggles when one or more directors are overseas. We'll confirm exactly what's needed for your company structure.

Can this cover both cars and vans?

Yes — our specialist partner can support both car and van leasing for UK companies with overseas directors.

How is this different from Overseas Parent Company leasing?

This route covers UK companies where a director personally is based overseas. If instead your company's ultimate ownership sits with an overseas parent or shareholders, see our Overseas Parent Company page.
