Our Finance Options

🚐
Hire Purchase (HP)
Own your van at the end

Hire Purchase is the most straightforward way to buy a van through finance. You’ll own the vehicle outright once you’ve made all payments, making it perfect for businesses that want to build assets.

  • Own the van at the end of the agreement
  • Fixed monthly payments
  • Deposit from 10% (or £0 with qualifying credit)
  • Terms from 12-60 months
  • VAT registered businesses can reclaim VAT on deposit
🔄
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)
Lower monthly payments with options

PCP offers lower monthly payments by deferring a large portion of the cost (balloon payment) until the end. You have the flexibility to buy, return, or part-exchange your van.

  • Lower monthly payments than HP
  • Guaranteed future value (GFV)
  • Mileage agreements protect residual value
  • Three options at contract end
  • Ideal for regular van upgrades
📋
Finance Lease
Tax efficient business solution

Finance leasing offers excellent tax benefits with 100% allowable expense against profits, no deposit required, and fixed monthly costs that help with budgeting and cash flow.

  • 100% allowable business expense
  • No large upfront costs
  • Fixed monthly payments aid budgeting
  • Maintenance packages available
  • Upgrade to newer models regularly

Which Option is Right for You?

Choose Hire Purchase (HP) if:

  • You want to own the van outright
  • You plan to keep the van long-term
  • You need to modify or customize the vehicle
  • You do high annual mileage
  • You want to build business assets

Choose PCP if:

  • You want lower monthly payments

  • Your mileage is predictable
  • You want guaranteed future value
  • Cash flow is a priority

Choose Finance Lease if:

  • You want maximum tax efficiency
  • You prefer fixed monthly costs
  • You don’t need to own the asset
  • You want to preserve working capital
  • You like predictable budgeting

Important Considerations:

  • All finance subject to credit approval
  • Early termination charges may apply
  • Excess mileage charges (PCP/Lease)
  • Professional advice recommended
