Commercial Hire Purchase

What is a Commercial Hire Purchase Loan?

Commercial Hire Purchase Loans allows you buy equipment or vehicles you can use now and spread the cost over time rather than paying upfront.

Hire Purchase is an agreement where a financial provider will buy a vehicle or equipment on your behalf from the seller. You then buy it from them in instalments (including interest) over an agreed period. You have the use of the asset while you’re paying off the loan. On the final payment, ownership gets transferred to your business. 

This option is suitable for assets with medium value and lifespan, such as power tools, commercial kitchen equipment, or vehicles. It’s great if you want to purchase vehicles or equipment but don’t have the money to pay for it upfront.

The Benefits of a Commercial Hire Purchase

Hire Purchase lets you buy equipment or vehicles you can use now and spread the cost over time rather than paying upfront. Benefit from the assurance of fixed-rate repayments and potential tax deductions.

  • Preserve your working capital

How does Commercial Hire Purchase work?

A Commercial Hire Purchase arrangement enables your business to hire an asset from the lender for a fixed monthly repayment over a set period (usually 1 to 5 years). 

The lender agrees to purchase the vehicle or equipment on your behalf and then hires it back to you. You’ll have full use of the asset for the contract term but won’t be the owner. 

At the end of the term, when the total price of the vehicle (minus any residual) and the interest charges are repaid in full, your business takes ownership of the asset.

Step-by-step process of a Commercial Hire Purchase Loan

1. Choose an asset and make an application

Identify the asset your business requires and apply for Hire Purchase, supplying all relevant business income, profit and loss, equipment maker and model, supplier information, price quotation, and their payment terms.

2. Background check and negotiate terms

The provider conducts background checks, processes applications, and agrees on terms of repayments in consultation with you.

3. Take delivery of your asset

Sign your documents, and when your vehicle or equipment is ready to be collected, the finance provider will pay the supplier while you take delivery.

4. Pay off asset and take ownership

Your company makes repayments to the lender as agreed and officially owns the asset at the end of the term.
