Finance Lease

This is a popular choice for VAT registered companies looking for vehicle funding only. You can run one car or a whole fleet with no capital outlay, but have the asset showing on your balance sheet. At the end of the lease period you sell to an independent third party and retain up to 98% of the sale proceeds. You can choose to pay the entire cost over the agreed lease period, plus an interest charge, or pay lower monthly rentals and a final payment which is calculated on the anticipated residual value.

How does it work?

Using our fleet purchasing power, we source the vehicle(s) of your choice and deliver free of charge. You pay fixed monthly payments for the duration of the agreed lease period. At the end of your contract you can opt either to sell the vehicle(s) yourself or ask us to negotiate a sale (a free service). Proceeds are offset against the final payment. Should proceeds exceed the residual value, you receive the excess as rebate of rental.

What else can be included?

We offer a maintenance package which includes all routine servicing, mechanical repairs, tyre replacement, exhausts and batteries, and a full range of competitive insurance products.
