Can I get out of my PCP lease to get a van?

Hi, I have a car out on a PCP lease and it is about 15 months old, but I am starting my own business and need to trade the car for a van, but the settlement on the car is €18,500. I have around €5,300 paid though the dealer is telling me that a significant deposit would be required to come out of the PCP, but the van is around €20,000. Where do I stand?

Thanks for your time
