Types of vehicle finance we have available
Hire Purchase
Hire Purchase is a vehicle finance agreement where the business acquires ownership. Legal title transfers after payments are complete. This includes the final purchase payment.
Also, you can defer part of the cost with a Balloon Payment. Here we offset a portion to the end of the agreement. We base this on the value of the vehicle at the end of the agreement.
Benefits
- Fixed monthly cost
- Ownership at the end of the agreement
- Flexible contract
- Balloon Payment option
- Low initial outlay
- Business capital not tied up in a depreciating asset
- Finance not subject to VAT
- Interest reclaimable against tax
- Writing down allowance
Finance Lease
Finance Lease is a flexible vehicle finance option. This option is perfect for businesses looking to manage the vehicle. Also, you show the vehicle on your balance sheet. This has its advantages.
Above all, Finance Lease is a VAT-beneficial option. You can pay the entire vehicle cost over the agreed lease period. Also, you will pay any interest charges. Or, you can pay lower monthly rentals by adding a final balloon payment. For this, we base the balloon payment on the expected resale value.
Benefits
- Minimum capital expenditure
- Accurate monthly budgeting
- A fixed interest rate is available on all contracts
- No damage recharge as you are responsible for disposal of the vehicle
- VAT recovery on the lease rentals (subject to 50% block)
- Corporation tax relief available against the lease rental charges
- Rentals can be offset against the businesses profits
Contract Hire
Contract Hire is a simple vehicle finance option. Typically, contracts range from 24 to 60 months. Most importantly, we tailor contracts to your requirements.
Contract Hire makes budgeting simple. Firstly, the initial rentals are low. Secondly, the monthly costs are then fixed. Also, you have no risk of residual values at the end. At the end of the agreement, you hand the vehicle back. In addition, you can include maintenance and recovery. As a result, this removes the stress and financial risks of ownership.
Benefits
- Fixed cost making budgeting more simple
- Small initial outlay
- No exposure to residual value risk
- VAT recovery on the lease rentals (subject to 50% block)
- VAT is payable on each lease rental (as opposed to upfront)
