Where ownership is not required, finance lease works well for a broad spread of business assets as well as vehicles.
Key Features & Benefits

- Initial deposits – can be as low as one repayment / rental down with the VAT spread over the term of the agreement.
- Flexible – repayments can be structured to match anticipated cash flows.
- Tax efficient – repayments are normally offset against taxable profit.
- Cost effective – the funder, as owner of the asset, claims the writing down allowances which can then be reflected in the form of lower rentals.
