TRUSTED WHERE
IT MATTERS MOST.
First Choice took our entire pool fleet off our hands — financing, maintenance, drivers, reporting. Our vehicles are always available, our costs are predictable, and our admin team no longer manages a single workshop visit. The transition was seamless.
Power continuity is non-negotiable in our sector. Their leased generators, remote monitoring and rapid response have kept our operations running without a single avoidable outage across four locations.
Professional, discreet and absolutely dependable. Their protocol transport meets the standard our mission requires — every driver is vetted, every vehicle immaculate, every schedule kept without exception. We have used them for three consecutive years.
WHY LEADING
BUSINESSES
CHOOSE US.
When you own assets outright or manage fragmented vendors, the costs, risks and administrative burden fall entirely on you. First Choice consolidates everything under one accountable partner — fixed monthly costs, guaranteed uptime, zero ownership burden.
Finance, deployment, maintenance and replacement under a single agreement. No fragmented vendors, no finger-pointing.
Off-balance-sheet access to premium assets converts heavy capital outlay into a predictable monthly operating cost.
ELAN-accredited, award-recognised, audit-ready documentation built for regulated and institutional counterparties.
WHAT
CLIENTS
ASK FIRST.
Clear answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours isn't here, book a free call and we'll answer it directly.
Book a Free Call →Do you lend money directly?+
No. We are financial intermediaries — we structure your case, prepare bankable documentation and connect you with licensed lenders, banks and investors. We work for our clients, not the institutions.
How does equipment leasing work?+
You identify the asset. We appraise the risks and structure a lease. For Finance Lease, you contribute 20–30% equity and take on risks and rewards. For Operating Lease, we retain the asset and you simply use it. Either way — no heavy capital outlay, just a fixed monthly cost.
What is the minimum engagement size?+
We serve single-asset leases through to enterprise-wide fleet and facility contracts. There is no fixed minimum — we structure engagements around your scale and budget cycle.
How long does loan facilitation take?+
Timelines depend on facility size, your documentation readiness and the lender's process. We shorten the path significantly through our relationships. Timelines are agreed at proposal stage.
What documents do I need?+
For leasing: valid ID, proof of address, bank statements (3–6 months), employment letter or business registration. For loan facilitation: CAC documents, audited accounts, bank statements (6–12 months), tax clearance and collateral documents.
Do you operate outside Lagos?+
Yes. Headquartered in Ikeja, Lagos, we deliver services nationwide across all six geopolitical zones — with strong presence in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano.
Are you accredited and insured?+
Yes. First Choice is a member of ELAN and IMCN, recipient of the Integrity in Business Award, and maintains full insurance on all managed assets.
What is your payment policy?+
Once payment is received, the service is delivered. In the unlikely event of failure attributable to our firm — we refund in full and that ends our liability. Where failure is attributable to the client, no refund applies.
