Looked in to leasing an industrial washing machine for udder clothes as we wanted the responsibility to keep the machine working to rest on the shoulders of the supplying company.

Son was dealing with it so not directly involved but supplying company use a finance firm to run the lease which was to be for five years. So finance co ring up and say is it ok to run credit check on business? Yes it is.
Oh, and by the way, we need to see your last three bank statements

WTF, never ever been asked for bank statements even when buying machines/cows in to the tens of thousands never minding a poxy washing machine with a value of £6k

Anyone else been asked for bank statements?

I had to do the same when borrowing 7k towards a new to me sprayer. Was told it was standard practice in the current climate.

Why spend 6K on a washing machine ?
Buy 2 household ones, if one pack up use the other. You can buy a lot of them for that money, so if the first isn't repairable buy another. It would take years to spend your 6K.

Because domestic washers don’t wash at 90 deg ... and don’t last two minutes.

I have bought two bits of kit on finance in the last 3 years, both on 24mth terms but through different dealers.

But Credit Suisse was the finance provider in both cases.

Deals done over phone in both cases and never got asked for credit check or bank statements.
