Not the usual question on here but here goes.

For 16 years I have sub contracted to a national aggregate company and the time has come upgrade my lorry.
Although there is an internal scheme to underwrite a loan I am keen to explore other ,hopefully cheaper, options.
Any suggestions where I should be looking ?

How much are you able to earn under this scheme compared to a regular PAYE driver after deducting costs etc?companies often introduce these schemes to save money and shift the costs onto the owner driver, I was advised to avoid any of the ownership schemes,

Would advise you to approach your existing bank for a loan, as some customers have found things difficult when approaching banks they don’t have an existing relationship with.

Bounce back loan? Can't see there being much cheaper than that!

I'm not getting rich quick that's for sure however £25k a year is sufficient to my needs. Main appeal is the 06.00-07.00 start and 14.00 -16.00 finish time. Combined with circa 35 hours a week and the ability to have any time off I desire it works well for me.
