What is business leasing?

Also sometimes referred to as business contract hire, business leasing is essentially an agreement for a company to lease (or hire) a vehicle for an agreed period, usually a few years. The business pays an initial payment amount and then fixed monthly payments to use the car, and once the contract comes to an end the company returns the vehicle to the leasing company.

Benefits of business car leasing

Is a business lease car the right option for your company? Well, it can have the following benefits:

• Cost efficiency - Leasing costs, especially upfront, can be much lower than other methods like buying outright or car finance
• Fixed monthly payments - You’re never hit with fees out of nowhere, so you’re able to budget effectively
• Tax savings - Businesses can save money on things like VAT, which can be reclaimed with a business lease
• Access to the newest models - With leasing, your company can upgrade to the latest models every few years
• Flexible business leasing contracts - Tailor your business lease contract to suit your needs, including the length of the deal, annual mileage and optional maintenance package
• No depreciation worries - No need to be concerned about the car decreasing in value over time, as your business won’t own the vehicle

Business leasing FAQs

Are there any tax benefits with business leasing?

There are! When you lease a car for business use, your company can claim back VAT, which can help reduce the overall cost of leasing. If you lease an electric vehicle, you can also save on other taxes such as Benefit-in-Kind (BiK).

What happens at the end of the lease term?

At the end of the business lease term, you will have a few options: return the vehicle to us, extend the lease, or you may be able to negotiate to purchase the vehicle at its residual value. This flexibility allows you to choose the option that best suits your business needs.

What if I exceed the mileage limit during my lease?

If you exceed your total annual mileage allowance, you will incur a charge based on a pence-per-mile rate. This rate varies depending on your finance agreement and will be specified in your contract.

Excess mileage charges account for the additional depreciation incurred on the vehicle. Leasing companies like us estimate the vehicle’s residual value (it's worth at the end of the contract) based on your expected mileage. Therefore, exceeding your mileage limit can lead to increased depreciation and affect the overall cost of your lease.

Keep in mind that your mileage allowance is pooled for your agreement. For instance, if you select a limit of 10,000 miles per year for a 3-year lease, you can drive a total of 30,000 miles. You can distribute this mileage flexibly, such as driving 10,000 miles in one year, 5,000 the next, and 15,000 in the final year, without any issues.

Is my business eligible for leasing?

Whether your company is eligible for business leasing depends on its financial stability and creditworthiness. We’ll need some basic documentation such as business financial statements, tax returns and a credit check just to ensure that you can afford the payments. Our team can guide you through the application process and help determine your eligibility though.

Are there any fees associated with early termination of a business lease?

If you wish to terminate your business car lease early, a termination fee will apply to the finance company. If you’re struggling to meet your monthly payments, please reach out to us for assistance. We can provide a no-obligation quote for early termination, allowing you to explore your options and determine if cancelling the agreement is the right financial decision for you.
