You might think that if you’re self-employed, car finance isn’t possible. Some lenders might not accept you if you are self-employed, because your income might change every month, compared to someone who is employed. At Moneybarn, we understand that having a car can be very important when you’re self-employed, which is why we accept applications for car finance if you are self-employed.
When you make an application, you’ll need to provide some personal details about you and your financial situation. If you wish to enter into an agreement, you would then need to provide proof of identification (usually a driving licence) and 2 consecutive months of payslips.
Further documents might be needed as part of our affordability checks, but if that is the case, then our team will guide you through that process.
We aim to provide specialist finance for self-employed people that meet the following criteria:

Being self-employed can make it harder to get a car loan, especially if you have bad credit. Not having a reliable monthly income can sometimes make it harder to make payments on time which can impact your credit score, and lenders are often cautious about offering finance to someone without the assurance of a regular income.
We specialise in providing car finance for people with bad credit, even if you’re self-employed. This means that even if you’ve been rejected for finance by another lender, we may be able to help you get a car on finance. Spreading the cost of a car over a set period of time can give you the flexibility to afford the right car for your situation.
So if you’re looking for car finance when self-employed with bad credit, or you have a CCJ, or an IVA, we could help. Apply today and we can guide you through the process.

Unfortunately, no lender can offer guaranteed car finance for self-employed people. Your eligibility for car finance depends on lots of personal factors, such as credit score and affordability. Everyone is different, that’s why no legitimate lender will offer guaranteed car finance for the self-employed.
A lender must run the appropriate affordability and credit checks. Once they have done these checks, they can tell you whether you can get car finance. We only use a soft credit check when you apply, which won’t affect your credit score. Once you decide that you would like to enter into an agreement with us, a hard credit check will be done which will affect your credit score.
Other lenders may conduct a hard credit check when you initially apply for a car loan, so it’s important to understand the difference between a soft and hard credit check.
There are several types of car finance available: such as Hire Purchase (HP), Personal Contract Purchase (PCP), and Conditional Sale (CS). Self-employed people can apply for them just like anyone else, but they might have to provide extra documents as part of the application process.
It’s hard to say what the best way to buy a car is if you’re self-employed. Everyone’s eligibility for car finance is different, and everyone’s choice of car is different. We offer Conditional Sale finance, which is where you pay fixed monthly payments over a set term, and when you’ve made your final payment you automatically own the car. Find out more in our guide to CS finance.
It’s also important to consider what you might use the car for, as we only can offer finance for cars being used to commute to work, or to get around on the day-to-day. Unfortunately, we do not accept those looking to use the car as a taxi, or to hire out.
There’s also lots of different makes and models of car to choose from, that’s why we’ve written a guide to the different car brands so you can make an informed decision.
We specialise in helping those who have been refused elsewhere. Since 1992, we’ve helped people across the UK get car finance with poor credit. Whether you’re looking for a new or used car on finance while being self-employed, we could help you.
If you already have a car in mind, try using our car finance calculator. Put in the amount you’re looking to borrow and it will give you an idea of what your agreement might look like. Or, if you’re ready, you can apply today.
We understand that just because you have bad credit, it doesn’t change the need to have a reliable car to get around. Having bad credit can make it more difficult to get a car loan. This is because your credit score is one of the many factors that a lender uses to decide whether to offer you finance. Thankfully, there are some ways you can improve your credit score.
