Funding Methods - Finance Lease

Risk: You assume risk.

Market Share: 5% and growing.

Popular With: Companies as an alternative to Contract Hire.

How it Works:

The crucial difference from Contract Hire is that Finance Lease rentals are not necessarily dependent on a predetermined vehicle life cycle - and hence residual value. The lessee may pay back the entire capital cost of the vehicle plus charges over a period of time, or may agree a balloon payment to reduce the monthly rental - but never takes ownership. This method is particularly useful for fleets with wide variations in operating requirements. Despite the fact the operator does not assume ownership, he does take residual value risk.
