A finance lease is an alternative to hire purchase that offers more flexible way of funding a Mercedes-Benz or smart, car or fleet. It is especially suitable for VAT registered companies who want to handle the administration of their vehicles, and have the asset shown on their balance-sheet.

This VAT beneficial option allows the business to choose to pay the entire cost of the Mercedes-Benz or smart over the hire period (including interest charges) or pay lower rentals during the contract and pay a final rental based on the anticipated resale value of the vehicle.

Finance leases are popular with companies who want to avoid the large initial outlays required by many funding options. A finance lease can be agreed over a term that suits your company’s cash flow.

The Mercedes-Benz or smart car is hired to you for a fixed period without the option of ownership. Payments cover both the initial cost of the car and the finance charges. At the end of the contract the vehicle must be sold to an independent 3rd party (or alternatively we can dispose of it for you). You receive the proceeds from the sale of the car, less a small fee.
