The right direction

Whether you are in the business of moving cargo or people from one location to another, Bank of Scotland Corporate can help. Our expertise covers all fields of transport from cars and vans to trucks and trailers, buses and coaches to planes, helicopters and boats.

Our sector experience within each field means that many businesses rely on us – not just because we can provide the finance. Our knowledge allows us to understand the logistical issues that companies face, and create a funding package that helps businesses to meet them head on.

A close relationship

You'll deal directly with an Asset Finance Manager with years of experience in your sector. Many of our experts maintain close relationships with suppliers in specialist transportation industries and can often strike a better deal as a result.

Whether you need to transport people or goods, lease a truck or buy a plane, Bank of Scotland has both the understanding and the imagination to keep your business moving.

Vehicle finance

Be it just one vehicle or a fleet of cars, vans, buses or HGVs, Bank of Scotland will make sure you hit the road running. Whether you've already found the car that you want and just require the funding, or require us to find, fund, maintain and insure an entire fleet of wheeled assets, our experienced Asset Finance Managers are on hand to help.

We cover topics such as ownership and leasing, together with the associated tax implications for your business. For example, if owning your wheeled assets is your aim, then hire purchase could be your preferred option. However, if you are seeking use of the vehicles without the risks associated with ownership, then operating lease could be the best option.

Aircraft finance

This hugely specialist sector is also one of the Bank's specialist sectors. Our team has worked on some of the UK's largest aircraft financing deals, including projects such as securing £2.6 billion funding for 56 new Airbus aircraft.

But it's not all high flying deals at Bank of Scotland. We also fund the purchase of smaller aircraft, including helicopters and we work with both the public and private sectors. Our ground breaking approach to asset finance is matched by our understanding of the special requirements of niche markets, and also allows us to provide advice on security, maintenance and safety.

Marine finance

Like you, we're into boats. Ours is one of the largest and most experienced specialist marine finance teams in the UK.

But as well as our knowledge in financing boats, we are genuinely interested in all things marine. Our customers find it hugely beneficial to talk and deal with people who are as enthusiastic about boats as they are. We can lend guidance as well as finance to help you get afloat sooner than you think. We've experience of financing everything from dinghies to luxury yachts and cruisers. With Bank of Scotland Marine Finance you're on board with a team, that after nearly 30 years of experience, really knows the business. However much you plan to spend on whatever kind of vessel, contact us now.
