Businesses are offered a few different types of car lease. First, it is important to understand a car lease. The biggest part of a lease car is depreciation. This is the basic premise for the lease. Monthly payments are determined by the depreciation. Depreciation is the amount the value of the car decreases over the lease period. Here are some interesting facts about depreciation. The payments will be much more expensive if the car depreciates rapidly. This is great for the company that is the lessor. A car that does not depreciate quickly will have less expensive payments. This is good for the business that is the lessee. An important aspect of depreciation is the condition of the economy. Depreciation also varies with the make, model, and year. Another factor is that depreciation is generally more rapid at the beginning of the car's life. It is generally more even after that. Businesses usually use open-end leases. In the case of an open-end lease, the business pays an additional fee if the vehicle depreciates more than anticipated. A customer can simply walk away at lease end with a closed-end lease. This is whether the vehicle has depreciated more or less than expected. Individuals are primarily offered this type of lease. It is an important consideration if a leasing company offers businesses a closed-end lease. Business contract hire is a type of lease offered to businesses. This type of car leasing is very common. This type of contract lasts 12 to 60 months. The contract details are designed to fit business needs. Contract hire leases are available with or without a maintenance agreement. There are several advantages to this contract. It is not on the balance sheet. It usually has a fixed interest rate. There is no depreciation risk. This responsibility lies with the leasing company. A second type of lease is a lease purchase. There are some advantages and some disadvantages of a lease purchase. This type of car leasing has a smaller deposit. Generally the monthly payments are also lower. The company can invest the money into the business instead. One of the disadvantages comes at the end of the contract. A large balloon payment is due at the end of the contract. It is important to make sure the business will have this money available at that time. At lease end, the anticipated future value of the car is the payment due. The vehicle will then belong to the lessee. Businesses may reclaim the VAT, if the vehicle was used for business purposes only. A third type of lease available is a finance lease. A tax efficient option for businesses is a finance lease. The vehicle remains the property of the company that is the lessor. The balance sheet does reflect this type of lease. Generally, monthly payments and interest rates are fixed. The most important aspect of car and leasing choices is complete comprehension of the available options. The information will determine what the best choice for the business is. Another important aspect is to fully comprehend the lease before signing it. Otherwise, the business can get into financial trouble. The purpose of leasing vehicles is to move the business forward.
