Hire Purchase

Hire Purchase is a repayment facility which can provide outright ownership to the customer. Once the term and repayment structure are decided, the monthly payments are fixed, giving the customer peace of mind and the ability to budget and plan ahead.

On payment of the option to purchase fee at the end of the agreement the customer can own the asset.

How it works

We purchase the asset on behalf of the customer. We own the asset until the final instalment is paid, at which point the customer is given the option to buy it for a nominal sum.

  • Spread the cost of the asset over time, with the option to own it at the end of the term.
  • Fund up to 100% of the asset purchase price
  • VAT relating to the purchase price is payable upfront when entering into the agreement, and may be recoverable. VAT is not payable on the rentals.
  • At the end of the term and on payment of an option to purchase fee, the business can choose to keep using the asset or sell and replace/upgrade.

  • While the business doesn’t own the asset until the purchase option fee is paid, the business can treat the asset as a balance sheet item.
