New limited company

[Gullwings]

I've been a sole trader for 6 years and made the move to Ltd last month as it worked better for my circumstances.

I've decided to go down the EV route and lease it through the company.

My sole trader accounts show 6 years of good financials, but my limited company has only 1 month of history.

Has anyone been in the same position and had a business lease accepted for an EV?

TIA

I'm interested in this as I've just changed to a limited company as well.

Looking to lease a Tesla model 3 and wondered if going direct to Tesla might be easier.

My OH was self employed for 15 years but went to a ltd structure in sept 2019. The low BIK (and a great deal!) was too good to miss so signed an etron lease deal in Jan 2020 - She had to present some self employed accounts, they also asked for 6 months up front, would of preferred 3 months as being a new company the ltd bank account was a bit light....

Obv due to covid the car didnt appear until sept 2020 - the lease agents dropped the ball as the finance agreement expired in July and we had to redo the finance application again 2 days before delivery..... PITA as the accountant had to do an up todate accounts in a bit of a hurry!

Love the etron btw.
