How does an operating lease work?
If you need a new piece of equipment or plant to fulfil a particular order, an operating lease could give you the finance you need. Operating leases improve your cashflow immediately and streamline your finances by matching rental payments to your income.
You use the asset for as long as you need it. Then, at the end of the operating lease, we keep the asset or you can extend the agreement if you need to. An operating lease can have significant tax and financial advantages compared with alternatives such as hire purchase or a business loan.
Is an operating lease right for you?
An operating lease is ideal for any type of business that needs to use a piece of machinery, plant or equipment for a specific length of time.

We retain ownership of the assets purchased. At the end of the lease term you can carry on renting the asset for a nominal annual sum or sell it and keep most of the cash proceeds. You can use finance leasing for a wide range of business assets, from information technology and communications hardware to manufacturing plant and machinery, and fixtures/fittings.
With a finance lease you enjoy fixed rate funding as well as a payment structure that can be matched to your cashflow to ease budgeting. The funding is on balance sheet.
Is finance leasing right for you?

How does hire purchase work?
Hire purchase is a way to buy the assets you need without depleting your cash reserves. It is flexible and tax efficient and can be used to buy anything from IT to plant and machinery. Hire purchase also gives you ownership title, making it suitable if you want to purchase something you want to keep or eventually sell.
Hire purchase is a tax-efficient way to buy assets as the interest on the payments is tax deductible and capital allowances on the equipment can be claimed immediately.

With sale and leaseback you can have fixed rate funding as well as a payment structure that can be matched to your cash flow patterns to ease budgeting. The funding is on balance sheet.
Is sale and leaseback right for you?
Sale and leaseback can be suitable for businesses of all sizes, and all types of assets. Releasing cash locked in your depreciating assets helps the stability of your business. For example, you can use the funds to ensure swift recovery from bad debt or financing balloon payments on existing loans. The capital released can be used to repay bank overdrafts or reduce monthly payments on existing hire purchase or lease agreements.
