What is Hire Purchase?

Hire purchase is a type of asset finance where the purchaser will pay regular instalments throughout the agreed time. After all the payments have been made, the purchaser legally owns the asset. Hire purchase for assets is like when an individual might buy a car, normally this involves paying a deposit and all the VAT upfront.

The benefits of hire purchase include:

  • Fixed Budgeting
  • Fixed Monthly Payment
  • No mileage restrictions
  • Full ownership at the end of the agreement

What is Lease Purchase?

An asset lease purchase, or finance lease, is when a customer rents an asset during the majority of that items useful life. The customer renting the asset will never own it but takes on most responsibilities, such as maintenance. Lease purchases consist of regular monthly payments, which add up to the full cost of the asset plus interest. At the end of the agreement, the customer has three options:

  • Continue to use the asset in a secondary lease period (often with cheaper payments).
  • Sell the asset and keep a share of income.
  • Return the asset.

The finance option feels like a hire purchase; however, they are different on the balance sheet. Deciding between them is usually down to financing as with lease purchase you can spread the VAT cost over several payments.

The benefits of lease purchase include:

  • Lower payments through the option of a balloon (deferred final payment)
  • Option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the agreement
  • Flexible arrangement - terms can be amended
  • Any equity in the vehicle can be used as a contribution towards a new vehicle.
