What Is Finance Lease? A Simple Definition
Finance lease is only available to businesses, not private individuals. Your business can be either VAT registered or non-VAT registered. It is a very flexible agreement and offers a wide range of options to suit the business needs.
Finance Lease Has Many Benefits For Business
Set Your Deposit Amount
3, 6 or 9 payment deposits are standard but we can accommodate a one off lump sum.
Set Contract Length
A finance lease is available on 24, 36 and 48 month agreements.
You have the choice between paying the total vehicle cost over the contract length or defer an amount as a residual/balloon payment to lower the month cost.
Avoid Excess Mileage Charges
You will not face any charges for exceeding the mileage terms in your lease agreement; however it is in your best interest to build a contract realistic to your true mileage.
If a residual has been set, this figure will have been calculated using your contacted mileage. Exceeding contract mileage could see the vehicles worth fall below the residual amount.
Take Advantage Of Residual Options
If you chose to set a balloon/residual, there are a number of options available at the end of your agreement.
1.) You can refinance the residual if you wish to keep the vehicle longer.
2.) You can settle the residual with AMI. Although you will not own the vehicle you will be able to either:
2a.) Continue with its use under a peppercorn rental.
2b.) Sell the vehicle to a third party and retain any profits.
