The practical answer
Yes. DCF’s published case study describes hire purchase for a German-built suction excavator for a Kent civil engineering business.
The published example confirms the asset type, overseas build and UK funding requirement. It does not publish a general lender policy, rate or promise that similar transactions will be approved.
For your own purchase, provide the build specification, supplier, payment timetable and delivery arrangements. These details help establish which aspects of the proposed transaction differ from a routine UK vehicle purchase.
Commercial finance is subject to status, lender approval and the specific asset and transaction. The right structure depends on the complete circumstances of the business.
What should I do next?
Have the asset details, supplier information and an outline of what the business needs ready. DCF can then discuss the requirement and identify which lenders may be suitable.

A published DCF example
UK hire purchase funding arranged for a specialist suction excavator built in Germany, where the overseas build made the funding less straightforward.
