GENERAL FAQ's

Q. DO MY PAYMENTS INCREASE IF INFLATION OR INTEREST RATES RISE?

A.No. Your monthly payment is fixed at the start of the lease and so are unaffected by interest rate rises. This enables you to budget your cash flow more accurately. As inflation rises, because your payments are fixed the cost of the equipment reduces in real terms.

Q. IS THERE A TAX BENEFIT ASSOCIATED WITH LEASING?

A. Yes. A business wishing to acquire capital equipment has to seek the most tax efficient way when doing this. All lease payments are treated as an allowable business expense and therefore attract tax relief for the full duration of the lease agreement. Your accountant will be able to confirm this. 

Q. SHOULD I GO TO MY BANK?

A. Using your bank for all your business funding is not a good practise. If you use all your overdraft facilities you leave yourself in a vulnerable position to react to any unexpected needs of short-term borrowing. Your bank may change the interest rate mid-way through a loan or reduce your overdraft facilities, which can dramatically affect the cash flow of your business. Sometimes banks will limit the amount they will lend you without further security such as taking a charge on your home. It is not financially prudent to have all you eggs in one basket.

HAVE THE BEST EQUIPMENT

Leasing enables you to choose the best equipment available with no cash outlay. This enables you to have the best equipment available with the latest technology and start to enjoy the extra profits this generates before your next lease payment is due.

CHANGE EQUIPMENT AT THE END

At the end of the lease you can either own the goods outright for approx. the cost of one extra monthly payment, or we can arrange to have your old equipment taken away and replaced with brand new equipment allowing you to have the best and latest equipment.
