Contract Hire Explained

Contract Hire can be much more cost effective and improve your cash flow when compared to outright purchase. You can offset your rentals against your profit for taxation purposes, whereas you will be restricted to tax writing down allowance if you buy outright. This may ultimately reduce your tax bill and improve your cash flow, freeing up capital to invest in profit opportunities rather than borrowing from you bank manager!

Contract Hire

Contract Hire is the sure way of keeping a full quota of vehicles on the road every day, while keeping budget payments 100% predictable. Vehicles are off balance sheet to benefit company accounting.* With a fixed monthly rental, companies have total budgetary control. We do the work so companies can get on with their business.

Conditional Sale

The customer makes a deposit and then pays the remainder, plus interest over an agreed period - at the end of this period, provided there are no outstanding payments, they own the vehicle.

Flexible Lease

Payments cover the use of the vehicle. Once all the payments have been received, the company can sell the vehicle as our agent and we will return the sale proceeds (less any money owed to us) as a rebate of rentals.

Ford Options

Ford Options is the flexible way to finance a Ford. At the end of the agreement choose which option suits your company best - own the vehicle, return it or choose a new one.
