How is a lease different from a loan?
A lease is an agreement to make payments for a specific amount of time for the right to use the equipment owned by the lease company. As the leasing company owns the equipment every £ spent can be offset against Tax liability i.e. 100% of the cost.

1) Lease Rental - 100% tax allowable
2) Lease Purchase.
3) Master Lease - Open-ended lease allowing you to continuously add to the lease.

Why is a lease so tax efficient?
Every lease payment is 100% allowable as a tax-deductible expense, therefore reducing the real cost of your purchase. A cash or loan purchase will only allow a small percentage write off in the first year, reducing each year thereafter.
TOP

How much of an initial investment is required?
No Deposit is required only the first rental which is usually 1 month.
TOP

Is borrowing from a bank cheaper?
Initially payments are probably lower, but over the course of the lease the greater tax savings will mean the lease compares favourably with a bank loan. Depending on your circumstances it may even be cheaper to lease.

If bank finance and lease finance are similar in cost in the long run,
why shouldn’t I just go with my bank?
Bank lending is always secured, on your personal or business assets, or both! Our lending is unsecured. Also, bank loans and overdrafts are repayable on demand – check the small print! Providing rental payments are paid on time, our facility is fixed until the term ends.

Can my equipment be upgraded during the term?
