    About business car leasing

    A business car lease or business contract hire is the most affordable way of driving a brand new car whether you’re a limited company, sole trader or a partnership. A business lease gives you fixed low monthly payments and an affordable and flexible initial payment to do what’s right for your business.

    As payments are fixed, you can budget around your lease. As you don’t own the vehicle, you avoid vehicle depreciation worries - simply return your vehicle and take out your new business lease. Your business lease delivery and collection are also free of charge to mainland UK.

    Benefits of business leasing

    A business lease has many positives for both employers and employees:

    • Fixed monthly cost - as costs are fixed for the duration of your contract, you know exactly what’s coming each month allowing you to budget
    • Reclaim VAT - a VAT registered businesses can claim back 100% of the VAT for cars for sole business use and 50% for business and personal use
    • Enhanced cash flow - you don’t have to pay out a considerable amount upfront like you do when buying a car, affecting your cash flow
    • Maintenance included - maintenance can be included to cover you for servicing, maintenance and tyre replacement
    • Save money - as cars are depreciating assets which typically lose around 60% in the first few years of ownership, you avoid losing money
    • Drive a brand new car every few years - you hand back your vehicle at the end of your lease and take out a new one meaning your staff have the latest vehicle with up to date safety features

    Business car leasing FAQs

    A business lease is a lease agreement that’s taken out between a leasing company and a business. To take out a business lease you must be a limited company, a sole trader, a partnership, a limited liability partnership or a VAT registered company.

    A standard business lease between 24 and 48 months, however, some 12-month leases are also available.

    A personal and business lease is essentially the same, however, prices are cheaper for a business lease as VAT can be reclaimed at 50% or 100%, depending on use. You’ll have to provide a few more documents when taking out a business lease but other than that, they work in the same way.
