ASSET LEASING AND BUSINESS EQUIPMENT FINANCING EXPLAINED

Equipment finance is typically provided by way of a leasing agreement or Hire Purchase facility. This enables you and your business to invest in vital equipment, with the cost of the investment made more affordable through monthly or quarterly payments appropriate to the asset type and needs of your business.

What is Hire Purchase?

Hire Purchase is a form of finance that can be used to buy new or used equipment. You essentially hire the asset over the contract period and, once the facility has been paid off, you are the legal owner of the asset.

Benefits of Hire Purchase:

• Rather than one large sum, you can spread the cost over a 2 to 5 year period.
• It makes larger and more expensive assets more affordable to the business.
• You can choose a fixed term and deposit that suits your business.
• As the hire purchaser, you will own the asset after paying the option-to-purchase fee.
• There are usually no tax charges on Hire Purchase agreements.
• Hire Purchase may be paid off early, depending on the customer and agreement.

Things to be mindful of:

• Asset depreciation.
• Non-payment could negatively affect the credit rating of the business and guarantor, and could result in the asset being repossessed.

What is a Finance Lease?

A Finance Lease enables a business to acquire the assets it needs without buying the asset outright.

Benefits of Leasing:

• Finance leases offer flexibility in terms of agreement length, rental repayment profile and end-of-lease options.
• Unlike making an outright purchase, you retain cash within your business.
• A fixed lease repayment profile makes it easier to budget for the lifetime of the asset.
• Potential tax advantages.
• Access to modern equipment can help your business remain efficient and competitive.
• Fast turnaround times may be available.
• At the end of the lease period, you may be able to continue using the asset for a nominal payment or upgrade the equipment with another lease.

Things to be mindful of:

• The agreement is secured against the asset.
• Non-payment could negatively affect the credit rating of the business and guarantor.
