Finance Lease

Why Choose Finance Lease

AMI predominantly handle long-term contracts of 2 to 4 years. We know that a lot can happen to your business in that time; you need a contract that can offer different options as your situation changes.

Unlike other contracts, when you sign the dotted line you aren’t committed to one particular path. Finance leasing is far more flexible. When your contract expires, you have a choice of options available for the vehicle. When taking out this agreement, you will benefit from fixed monthly costs without taking on the hassle of administration and operating risks.

Finance Lease is not available to Private Individuals but is the preferred option for Vat registered Partnerships, Limited Companies, Self Employed & Sole Traders due to the significant tax advantages.

What Is Finance Lease?

The Benefits

At the start of the Finance Lease contract, usage parameters for the vehicle are agreed and providing they do not vary, monthly payments and interest rates are fixed for the duration of the contract.

A Finance Lease agreement enables you to choose to pay either the entire cost of the vehicle, including interest charges, over an agreed lease period or opt to pay lower monthly rentals with a final residual payment based on the anticipated resale value of the vehicle.

The residual can be settled either by selling the vehicle or it can be refinanced over another fixed period. At no time will you be able to take ownership of the asset.

Fixed Costs

Fixed payments for the whole agreement

Small Outlay

Low upfront costs for just a small outlay, you can use the assets immediately

Tax Back

Tax-deductible get up to 40% of your total payments back (including your deposit)

Built for you

Fixed repayment structure tailored to match your cash flow

Tax Advantage

VAT is payable on the rentals, not the purchase price, while payments can normally be offset against taxable profit (special rules apply to cars)

No Penalties

No penalty charges for additional mileage or damage at the end of the agreement

100% of sale proceeds

Although the customer does not own the vehicle, they receive 100% of the sale proceeds. Where a ‘balloon rental’ has been introduced, these proceeds are utilised to help clear the rental.
