What is available to you.

Hire Purchase.

Hire purchase is the most common and frequently used funding method, and is very easy to understand.

1/ Pay your agreed deposit.

2/ choose your agreed term, 12 – 60 Mth’s, repay the balance over this period, which will be a fixed payment at the contract start.

3/ At the end of the contract subject to all payments having been made, including the final (option to purchase fee) the vehicle is then yours to keep, sell, or trade in for a new one.

Personal contract plan (PCP / Alternatives)

Alternatives is the flexible way of financing your car, it gives you flexibility by the way of,

1/ The deposit you pay.

2/ The length of the agreement.

3/ The Mileage you will travel.

4/ The alternatives open to you at the contract end.

Alternatives is flexible because it can be tailored to meet your requirements and circumstances, initial deposits can vary from the equivalent of one monthly payment.

A choice can be made about the length of the agreement, any month between 18 – 42 Mth’s can be chosen and the contract mileage up to 25,000 miles per annum or 80,000 miles throughout the entire agreement.

The Key to alternatives is to match the monthly payment to your motoring budget, this is achieved by setting aside a final payment, which is a proportion of the cars present value at the start of the contract, which becomes payable at the end of the contract.

Example

Lets take a car say worth £15,000 Mitsubishi have a computer that predicts the guaranteed future value of that vehicle lets say in three years time. We deduct that future value from the selling price right now leaving you to pay on the small balance plus of course the cost of money and that’s it.

You then have three Alternatives at the end of the agreement.

1/ All or part of the difference if any between the final payment and your vehicle trade in value, can be used towards the deposit on your next vehicle.

2/ The Final payment (Including the option to purchase fee) can be paid and you can simply keep the car.

3/ You can decide to hand the car back to your Dealer / Finance provider, and providing all the obligations of your agreement have been met you will have nothing else to pay.

Contract hire.

Contract hire is frequently the first choice for business.

It provides the use of a vehicle at a fixed monthly cost that can even include full servicing and maintenance costs, tires and road fund renewal. This delivers a regular motoring cost for budgeting purposes, contract hire also enables a flexible method of off balance sheet funding.

Current UK tax legislation also helps to keep contract hire prices lower.

Businesses may be able to reclaim up to 50% of the VAT payable on the monthly rentals if for registered business users with a proportion of private vehicle usage.

Additionally the full VAT on the service / maintenance element (if taken) may be recoverable in full.

Contract hire additional options.

1/ Servicing costs

2/ Maintenance costs

3/ Tyre replacement (normal wear and tear only)

4/ A replacement vehicle following an accident or breakdown or during services

Contract hire is available on 12 to 36 months’ terms.

The level of the monthly payment is calculated on:

1/ The vehicle value

2/ The initial rental

3/ The length of the rental period (12 – 36 Mth’s)

4/ The agreed annual mileage

5/ The exact package to suit your needs.

After the agreed period you return the vehicle and there is nothing more to pay as long as all the payments are met and all terms and conditions of the contract have been met.

Taxation, legislation and accounting practises are subject to change and current business allowances can be changed at any time, for specific guidance you should contact your own financial advisor in these regards.
