Van Leasing: the Sensible Way to Build a Fleet

If your business relies on the transportation available to it, then the cost of a fleet of vehicles is going to be a considerable outlay. This expense can potentially be a prohibitive one if you are a relatively small operation: but why spend important cash flow on an expensive product that will only depreciate heavily as soon as you have driven it off the forecourt?

There is another way: leasing your vans and pickups, rather than purchasing them outright. The incentives for businesses to do so are significant:

Avoid depreciation of your assets

The cost of your fleet of vehicles will decrease immediately and to a huge extent over time. According to the AA, the average new vehicle will have a residual value of 40% of its purchase price after three years. Put it another way: you may have lost around 60% of vehicle value at an average of 20% per year. Obviously it is not as simple as that, as depreciation can vary according to mileage and condition. Certain vehicles can also depreciate more slowly than others for example: those with a better fuel efficiency, or those models that are newly released to the market.

Low initial outlay

The only outlay cost required will be the deposit, which is relatively small. After this, the monthly payments are low. Much lower, in fact, than if you were financing a vehicle. If you would like to own the vehicle at the end of the leasing period that can also be made possible, dependent on the terms of your lease.

Frees up your credit

Vehicles leasing isn’t classified as a ‘loan agreement’ in the same way as vehicle finance, therefore if you do need credit for other purposes, leasing won’t have any effect on this.

Drive a new vehicle

Instead of having to purchase second-hand vans if you can’t afford to buy new, you have access to brand new vehicles without having to pay the retail price for them.

Tax benefits

There are several tax benefits for businesses that choose to lease its fleets, including 100% VAT exemption on monthly payments.
