Bike dealers
Specialists in sub-prime motorbike finance
We’ve been providing motorbike finance since 2004, making us one of the longest standing and most experienced motorbike finance providers in the UK.
Several members of our staff ride motorbikes, so we know and understand the differences between a customer who holds a CBT and needs a 125cc motorbike for commuting, and a customer that wants a 1000cc super sports for the thrill of the ride. We know that everyone is different and may need different things, so we can change our approach to help them in the best way possible.
Our flexible motorbike finance criteria
Whilst our flexible criteria helps us to lend responsibly, we’re flexible on things such as the age of the bike, mileage and the lengths of our agreements. We don’t have a vehicle age limit in our lending criteria, so we can finance motorbikes new and old. We also understand the importance in getting approvals for finance on the motorbikes your customers want to buy from you.

Faster payments
We pay our dealer partners via Faster Payments, which allows us to send funds on completed finance agreements within 15 minutes upon receipt of all documents and proofs *. This allows us to process your onsite customers who want to ride away the same day.

We finance motorbike helmets and safety gear
We’re sure you will agree that riding is the definition of freedom, but with the roads getting busier, we all need to ensure that when we do ride, the gear we wear is up to the job and fit for purpose. Our dealer partners have the option to include safety gear, such as helmets, jackets, gloves, and other accessories all within our finance agreements. We like happy customers, and we like safe customers too!
We finance electric motorbikes
Electric motorcycles are becoming increasingly popular, and with the 2030 deadline on the sale of new petrol motorcycles looming, sales of electric motorbikes are only going to increase. Whether its BMW's CE04 premium electric motorbike, the sportier electric Zero DSR motorbike or the more affordable Ultra 4000 Electric Scooter, it doesn't matter, we are ready to finance the electric scooters and motorbikes of today and tomorrow.
Stay in control of your applications
Our dedicated Dealer Portal is available to all our dealer partners.
