Understanding the different types of vehicle finance.

Funding a vehicle does not have to be complicated. Unlike a general loan, vehicle finance is typically secured against the vehicle itself, not your property.

Repayments are structured around how the vehicle supports your business, making costs clear from the outset and allowing the asset to generate income while you pay for it.

You pay fixed monthly instalments over an agreed term and automatically own the vehicle once the final payment is made.

Clear ownership, fixed costs and long term security for businesses that plan to keep vehicles.

You use the vehicle for most of its working life and settle a small remaining value at the end or upgrade.
