Business Contract Hire otherwise known as Contract Hire is a fixed term agreement based upon a predetermined annual mileage, with or without maintenance and servicing options.
Contract Hire removes the risk of depreciation and regularizes cash flow with a fixed monthly payment including road fund licence.
Additional services can be arranged to include vehicle servicing and maintenance, tyres and exhaust replacements, breakdown assistance, and relief vehicle facility. The ability of the Funder to reclaim all of the VAT on the purchase price in turn reduces the monthly payment in comparison with a purchase plan.
