HIRE PURCHASE
Hire the vehicle or equipment your business needs with no upfront deposit and own it at the end of the hire period.
What is a hire purchase?
A hire purchase is when you take out a fixed period loan from us and we purchase a vehicle or equipment on your behalf. You have the use of the vehicle or equipment while you are paying off the loan. At the end of the loan term, when the loan is completely paid (including interest), ownership will transfer from us to you. This may be good option if you’re wanting to purchase a vehicle or piece of equipment, but don’t have the money to pay for it upfront.

What if I've already made the purchase?
If you’ve already paid for the vehicle or equipment, it’s not too late – we can buy it from you, reimburse you for the cost, and lease it back to you.

What’s the difference between a hire purchase and a lease?
The main difference is ownership. When you lease a vehicle or equipment, you never own it. You are only leasing or borrowing it for a set period, meaning you may have to hand it back once the lease term is up. When you hire purchase, you are paying back the cost of the vehicle or equipment over a set period, so that once the final payment is made, you own it.
Knowing which option is right for you depends on your circumstances. If you plan to regularly upgrade to the newest model, a lease arrangement might be better. If you want to be able to own the vehicle so that you can keep it as an asset, hire purchase may be the better choice.
