The benefits of Lease

  • Free up capital

    You can free up capital as VAT is spread across the contract, keeping upfront costs down.

  • Tax efficient

    Leasing can be tax efficient as repayments are counted as a business expense.

  • Control over costs

    You can control costs allowing for easy budgeting for maintaining the equipment.

  • Cover maintenance in repayments

    You can also choose to include maintenance costs in the repayment plan.

Types of Lease we offer

Finance Lease

Finance lease had a primary term with fixed rentals.

At the end of the primary period you can:

  • Hand the equipment back to us
  • Sell to a third part on our behalf and retain a percentage of the sales proceeds
  • Continue renting it after the primary period ends

Operating Lease

An operating lease is a lease with fixed rentals that reflect a predicted future residual value, which is an amount you won’t pay, which means, rentals are reduced.

We take the residual risk and will sell the asset at the end of the agreement to recover this unpaid amount, protected you from any potential loss. This transfer of risk may allow you to treat the asset as off-balance sheet, which may give improvements on key accounting ratios. Speak to your accountant or tax advisor to see how this may apply to you.

At the end of the primary period you can:

  • Hand the equipment back to us or
  • Upgrade or replace the asset on lease
