Searching for car loans for self-employed applicants often leads to rigid bank assessments, strict tax return requirements, and rejections. At CarCoop, we offer an alternative through a consumer car lease.
Rather than taking out a traditional car loan, you get access to a late-model vehicle with manageable weekly payments based on your current income and affordability.
Being self-employed doesn’t automatically prevent you from getting a car. However, traditional lenders may ask for additional evidence of income or business activity before deciding whether you can afford a loan.
This can be challenging if your income changes from month to month, you have recently started your business, or you don’t receive conventional payslips.
Our car leasing option can provide another way to access a vehicle without going through exactly the same process as a traditional car loan.
With CarCoop, eligible applicants can apply based on their current circumstances, income and ability to manage the agreed weekly payments. Prequalify in 60 seconds to see if car leasing could be an option for you.
If a traditional car loan doesn’t suit your circumstances, a car lease for self-employed applicants can be another option to explore.
CarCoop provides car leasing arrangements for eligible applicants, allowing you to make agreed weekly payments while accessing a vehicle.
Depending on the arrangement, vehicle-related costs can include:
This can make budgeting easier because several ongoing vehicle expenses can be incorporated into your regular payments.
Eligibility is still subject to assessment. Your income, affordability and individual circumstances will be considered.
Before applying, it’s useful to understand the basic requirements.
