Non-Status Leasing
Non-status leasing is for individuals and businesses who don't fit the standard credit-scoring box — not a 'no credit check' product, but a fairer, affordability-led assessment.
- Case-by-case assessment by experienced underwriters
- Suitable for new start-ups, overseas-owned businesses and more
- Personal applications considered for limited UK credit history
- Uses our car subscription fleet to get you mobile quickly
- Not a bad credit, CCJ or adverse credit product
Non-status car leasing is for individuals or companies who don't fit into standard automated credit criteria. On the business side this can include new start-ups, an overseas parent company, negative shareholder funds, previous director failures, or overseas shareholders. On the personal side it can include returning UK residents, expats, directors of new or foreign companies, or simply younger drivers with no credit history yet.
Every application — personal or business — goes through a credit check, run alongside an affordability and stability assessment by our experienced underwriters, who consider each case individually rather than relying on a single automated score.
Please note: this is not a 'no credit check' or guaranteed acceptance product. We do not offer leasing to customers with bad credit, County Court Judgments (CCJs) or other adverse credit history — our non-status service is aimed at applicants who fall outside standard criteria for reasons such as limited trading history, rather than those with a poor credit record.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a 'no credit check' service?
No. A credit check is always carried out for both personal and business applicants. Non-status leasing means the application is assessed on affordability and stability rather than declined outright by an automated score.
Do you accept applicants with bad credit, CCJs or adverse history?
No — this service is not available to customers with bad credit, CCJs or other adverse credit history. It's designed for applicants such as new businesses or those with limited UK credit history.
What terms might be offered?
Underwriters may ask for a higher documentation fee, a higher initial rental, a refundable deposit or bond, or a personal guarantee, depending on the assessed risk.
