When we refer to Business Car Leasing we are specifically referring to a financial product called contract hire. While car leasing is a generic term to describe a number of lease-based financial products, contract hire is the most common type of lease available in the UK. Contract hire is, in effect, a long term rental agreement.

Leasing has now become one of the preferred methods for businesses to fund their company cars and fleets. However, for many small and medium enterprises, the process of leasing their next car might not appear completely straightforward; this is something we hope to change.

Please note that we can offer other financial products. If you refer to our Finance Options page, you will be provided with the information you require.

An Introductory Guide To Business Car Leasing

Since changes in the UK's tax legislation (circa 1995) contract hire has grown considerably to be the product of choice for business running a fleet of vehicles.

The changes in legislation enabled funders and finance houses to reclaim VAT on new vehicles. This resulted in competitive rates being offered to customers on a full suite of cars due to economies of scale and buying powers. In addition to that, customers welcomed the ability to achieve fixed cost motoring and the ability to remove the risk of depreciation.
