Finance offers an attractive alternative to paying cash. Flexible, cost effective and fully tailored to your requirements, simply put asset finance allows you to spread the cost of your investment more fully over it’s useful life.

The Benefits of Leasing

Why should you use leasing?

Take a look at these 5 fundamental reasons:

Leasing is a way to pay for any capital purchasing with low, fixed monthly rentals, which means that you can budget and manage your cash flow in a more cost efficient manner
It is a way of managing obsolescence without writing off large single sums.
Leasing allows you to invest you money in other areas where you will get a higher return on capital employed.
It is a route to bridging the gap between what you need and what you can actually afford. It means that you can have tomorrows technology today.
Rentals are fully allowable against taxable income, similar purchases are not.

These are just a few of the reasons why 8 out of 10accounting firms use leasing and why 85 of the Times Top 100 companies use leasing.

Leasing Versus Cash Purchases

If your organization is looking to finance a capital equipment project then using your hard earned cash can be just what the taxman wanted. He will not let you offset the full amount of the cash you spend against your next corporation tax bill but instead give you allowances piecemeal over the coming years.

Leasing the equipment may appear to cost more, however when leasing you will benefit from 100% allowances against tax, which means you will be pocketing a substantial gain at the taxman's expense and leasing thus becomes cheaper!

You will also benefit from being able to invest the free cash you would have otherwise spent in other areas of the business.

The example below seeks to illustrate the total costs of a cash purchase versus those of a rental option based on a 36-month term. It assumes rentals are paid monthly in advance, by Direct Debit and all costs are based on net present value.
