Finance all your Buses with Coates Finance
Buses are the backbone of local transport — school runs, community transport, care-home shuttles and local service contracts all depend on a reliable vehicle turning up on time.
Whether you’re running a single minibus or a fleet of service buses across multiple routes, Coates Finance has a number of lease-purchase & hire purchase, leasing and refinancing solutions available, so you can acquire any bus when you need it most.
Coates has years of experience with vehicle financing. Partner with us today to arrange the ideal asset finance solution to suit your operation.
Meeting Emission Zone and Accessibility Standards
As Clean Air Zones (CAZ) and Low Emission Zones (LEZ) spread across the UK, non-compliant buses face high daily charges for entering them — Euro VI compliance is now essential for any operator running regular routes into towns and cities. Buses used on local services also need to meet PSVAR accessibility requirements.
If your current fleet doesn’t meet these standards, now may be the time to upgrade — financing spreads the cost rather than requiring the full purchase price upfront.

We offer a number of personalised funding solutions for Buses
Bus Finance for UK Businesses
Hire purchase allows you to obtain the buses your business needs and pay for them in increments over a negotiated period.
At the end of the agreed-upon time, you will be offered the option to purchase the asset.
A finance lease works like a loan agreement that allows you to acquire the buses your business needs without having to buy them outright.
Coates arranges for a funder to purchase the assets your business needs for you and lease them back to you over a negotiated time period.
An operating lease is an agreement that allows your business to use and operate equipment and machinery without committing to ownership.
The agreed-upon rental term of an operating lease is typically shorter than the life of the asset.
Asset Refinance is an ideal solution for your business if you also use heavy equipment, plant machinery or vehicles.
Also known as a ‘Sale and Leaseback’ or ‘Sale and Hire Purchase back’ agreement, this finance solution allows your company to sell existing vehicles to the lender in return for working capital.
This enables you to still use your assets by leasing them back from us whilst freeing up cash for other purposes.
Secured commercial loan
A secured business or commercial loan is a loan secured against an asset of the borrower, giving them the working capital they need right away.
Unsecured Business Loan
An unsecured business loan allows businesses to obtain essential vehicles without collateral.
