Finance Lease for Fleet Vehicles
What is a Finance Lease?
Lease financing is a common choice for businesses that need assistance with funding a new asset, when personal contract hire is not an option.
A finance lease for fleet vehicles is where the ownership of the vehicles you acquire remains with the finance company and you are essentially hiring the vehicle from this company, similar to a rental.
This type of financing is also flexible, as businesses can choose the length of the lease and the amount of monthly payments to best suit their needs. At the end of the contract, businesses will have the option to return the vehicle, take out a new contract on existing fleet, or arrange a deal for a new vehicle.
The term lease purchase agreement refers to a type of asset financing that gives lessees the option to buy the leased assets at the end of the contractual agreement. An asset leased with an option to buy it at the end of the contract will typically have lower payments than if purchased outright.
This is an ideal financing solution if your business doesn't have the working capital available to pay large amounts to acquire the vehicles it needs. Poor credit rating? No matter - we source the best financing deals for people of all financial health ratings.

Hire Purchase for Fleet Vehicles
What is a Hire Purchase?
As part of a hire purchase agreement, the buyer agrees to make regular payments over a certain period of time in order to eventually own the asset. The fleet vehicles you acquire with this traditional method of financing would be paid for in regular instalments until you reach the total value of all assets.
The biggest benefit of a hire purchase is that it allows the buyer to take ownership of the item immediately rather than waiting until they've saved up the full amount. Businesses can better manage their budgets and cash flow with the flexibility offered by this type of contract. You can continue using the asset or sell it at the end of the contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is “Fleet” defined as?
"Fleet" is defined as a group of vehicles, typically cars, trucks, vans or buses, that are owned or operated by a business, organization, or individual. A fleet can be used for a variety of purposes, including transportation, delivery, or other business needs.
What is Fleet Finance?
Fleet finance is the process of securing funding for a fleet of vehicles. This can be done through a variety of methods, including traditional loans, leasing, and hire purchase. Fleet finance is a crucial part of running a successful business that relies on a wide range of vehicles, as it can help the company to acquire new assets in an affordable manner, maintaining a modern, environmentally friendly fleet.
How does fleet financing work?
Done through a financial institution, the terms of fleet financing will vary depending on the lender and your financial background. In most cases, the business will need to put down a percentage of the total cost of the vehicles as a down payment, and then make monthly payments on the remaining balance. There are some deals where you effectively rent assets from the lender, with no ownership options. The interest rate on fleet financing will usually be higher than a traditional auto loan, but the monthly payments will be lower because they are spread out over a longer period of time.
Can I get fleet finance with an adverse or poor credit rating?
Yes, at AFARL, we are specialist brokers who source the best finance deals for our clients regardless of their credit history. In order to secure certain vehicles, you may need to put down a larger down payment to reduce risk to the lender.
