Purchase
Outline the intended vessel, its commercial use, indicative purchase price and funding requirement. An identified vessel is useful but not essential for an initial discussion.
GDNA Group | Marine finance introductions
UK Commercial Vessel Finance
Buying, refinancing or refurbishing a commercial vessel? Start with the business, asset and funding objective. We help organise the enquiry and explore a suitable independent lender introduction.
GDNA Group is an adviser and introducer, not a lender. An enquiry is not an application approval or an accepted engagement.
The commercial objective
Three starting points
For UK commercial operators and businesses supporting their transactions. Provider appetite and the appropriate route are considered case by case.
Refinance
Explain the existing asset and business objective. We can discuss what information a potential lender may need, without requesting account details in the initial enquiry.
Refurbishment
Describe the proposed repair, refit or upgrade, indicative cost and expected operating use. A yard scope or quotation can be discussed later through an agreed channel.
Operators, brokers and repair yards
A clear route for your enquiry
Enquire for your own business, or tell us your role in a potential referral. Brokers and yards can start with an anonymous outline when client permission has not yet been obtained.
We respond to the person enquiring. We do not automatically circulate enquiries to lenders or contact a referred client. Authority, information sharing and any engagement or referral terms must be agreed before proceeding.
Enough for an initial discussion
- Your business and role in the transaction
- Applicant business location and intended commercial use
- Vessel type, funding purpose and indicative amount, if known
- Timing and the help you need from GDNA
From enquiry to next step
Human review, not an instant credit verdict
GDNA helps organise the enquiry, clarify information gaps and coordinate the next agreed step. Independent lenders decide whether to consider and fund a case.
Outline the requirement
Share a concise, non-sensitive commercial summary through our existing enquiry form.
Clarify the facts
GDNA reviews the outline and discusses missing information, intended use and possible provider fit.
Agree the introduction
Where a potential route exists, agree scope, authority and permission to share the relevant information.
Independent assessment
Any lender assessment remains subject to its own underwriting, due diligence, documentation and terms.
GDNA does not provide credit, guarantee funding or determine lender acceptance. This initial enquiry does not create an advisory, broking or finance engagement. Please do not submit identity documents, bank statements or other sensitive records.
Discuss the asset and the objective.
