Car finance in my name or LTD

Hello

I've used the search but couldn't find anything similar.

Basically I'm the sole director of a UK LTD . I'm purchasing a fully electric car for my business. I know that there are 100% capital allowances available when purchasing an EV through a company

I am paying 40% company cash, 60% HP over 2 years.

The car finance company say the loan needs to be applied for by me as an individual.

Will this affect my ability to state that it's a company asset/purchase? I want to benefit from the capital allowances and also to use company funds to pay for car related costs.

Is the invoice made out to the company? that would help.
Acknowledge that it is a company vehicle, declare it on P11D and everyone should be happy.
With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA
