Company Fleet Support

Finance Lease
A more flexible funding solution offering 'softer' earlier agreement exit options and an onward vehicle sale profit opportunity. This method can be a tax efficient alternative to Lease purchase/HP where the Company chooses to pay either the entire cost of the vehicle (including cost of money charges) over an agreed lease period or opts to pay lower monthly rentals with a final deferred ('balloon') payment derived from the anticipated resale value of the vehicle. Works well where de-hire damage is a concern or when long range vehicle commitment may be in doubt (high value vehicles, employee trial periods etc.)
