Hire purchase, or lease purchase, is available to corporate businesses only or for non corporate bodies where the balance to be financed exceeds £25,000 (i.e. customers who are not regulated by Consumer Credit Act).
Hire purchase provides the customer with similar cash flow benefits to lease rental, but all the VAT on the cost of the system is payable with the initial payment. The customer would obtain tax relief on the interest element of each payment and on capital allowances on the equipment, rather than on each rental payment they make.
Thank you for sorting the finance out for the customer, it’s great to hand it over and not bother about any issues. Will start to press more sales with a view to leasing in the future so hopefully will be in touch.
