Private jet finance
in the UK
Specialist hire purchase and operating lease for turboprops, light jets, and mid-size business jets
Private jet finance requires lenders who understand engine programme memberships, avionics values, and Part-M maintenance, and who know the difference between a Cessna Citation CJ3 and an Embraer Phenom 300. We work with the specialist aviation funders who can make intelligent credit decisions on business aircraft.
What we do with your enquiry
Shape the proposal
We describe the asset, seller and ownership goal so a lender sees a clear, well-evidenced case.
Compare from our panel
Selected lenders from an extensive panel of 150+, set side by side on deposit, term, any balloon and total cost.
Stay with you to completion
Your broker relays lender questions and our documentation team helps coordinate paperwork if you proceed.
Sorbus is a credit broker, not a lender. Approval, rates and savings are not guaranteed, and a manufacturer or retailer proposal may still suit you best.

Engine programme value credited
Being enrolled on an engine programme (MSP Gold, ESP, JSSI) meaningfully affects residual value. Our lenders understand and credit this properly, whereas many generalist funders don't, resulting in lower advance levels and higher rates.
Turboprop to mid-size jet
We arrange finance for King Air 200s and 350s, Pilatus PC-12s, Cessna Citations, Embraer Phenoms, Learjets, and Hawker 900s. Very large cabin and long-range jets are assessed individually.
Operating and dry lease available
If you don't want to own the asset outright, an operating lease gives you access to the aircraft for a fixed monthly rate and returns it at term end with no balloon or residual risk.
Finance structures for private jets
Hire purchase gives full ownership at the end of the term and may maximise your capital allowance position, depending on your tax circumstances. Operating lease is better suited to operators who cycle through aircraft frequently or want predictable costs without residual risk.
