Given the bounceback loan situation that Grumpy has linked to, I presume this is personal finance? What happens if the business does not bounce back?0 -
That business unfortunately had to close, i actually currently run 2 businesses 1 owner/ director the other partner director. That company you mentioned was a completely separate business which luckily closed with no debts and offered the staff positions at the other companies. Obviously its not good practice to subsidies one business from another.Grumpy_chap said:
It is your assessment whether a Civic Type R meets the objective of positively representing the company - in many fields that would not be the type of car of preference. It may be suitable if you are running the business in the field of "bling-mobiles".WillCheshire20 said:Its a civic type r.
would i get accepted for credit/finance thats what im worried about.
As for whether you'll get the credit anywhere is an assessment of your income (Ltd Co.) and liabilities elsewhere. You have not provided any information on this type of factor so no-one can assess whether the £33k car is stretching you more than reasonable. What about your mortgage / rent etc?
Are you applying for finance in your own name or the Ltd Co.?
Judging from your other thread, it is quite likely that a lender would not see your business as sufficiently robust right now to support a £33k car:

For not a massive amount more than the deposit you proposed on the new car, you can achieve a car that will do just the same in terms of positively presenting the business. Maybe less fun and definitely slower, but possibly affordable and achievable:

The "boy racer" may be better waiting until the business is more established.
I understand what your saying about the lesser vehicle and purchasing out right but when you specialise in something you dont advertise wagu and sell cheap cuts, we have an EP3 and an FN2 but our customers are slowly becoming FK8.0 -
The business grumpy mentioned did close unfortunately and was closed properly no outstanding debts, it was in another market and nothing to do with the current business. Also yes was personal finance.AdrianC said:

Umm, I may be making a leap of logic here... but will the car be remaining absolutely standard?WillCheshire20 said:

I understand the OP's wants on this, but it does seem as though a different approach is required and the finance refusal likely saved a lot of pain at some point later down the line.0 -

I assume you're taking money out of the business in both a smallish wage and dividends?WillCheshire20 said:

Finance companies - IIRC - dont factor in dividends.
Or it could be as simple as status as a company director and not trading long enough.

I really don't think my comments are being judgmental - that part that you highlighted in bold is simply stating the outcome of the OP currently unable to finance the car of "want" and the need to get the car of "need" until the "want" is affordable.motorguy said:
