Lease or purchase: what’s the difference?

LEASING

Use the vehicle without tying up capital.

Lease payments are spread over a set period, helping you budget with more certainty and preserve working capital for the rest of your business.

PURCHASING

Own the asset and control the long-term plan.

Buying can give you ownership and flexibility over how long you keep the vehicle, but it normally needs more upfront investment and leaves you to manage resale value.

LEASING EXPLAINED

Why leasing could work for your business

Leasing makes fleet costs easier to plan around. You choose a vehicle and agreement that fit your operation, then pay a known monthly amount rather than committing a large sum upfront. It can help you refresh vehicles more regularly, keep cash available for growth and simplify budgeting.

ELECTRIC COMPANY CARS

Lower Benefit-in-Kind can make EVs a compelling company car choice.

Benefit-in-Kind, or BIK, is the tax paid on a company car. Fully electric vehicles generally attract a far lower BIK rate than petrol or diesel alternatives, which can reduce the tax cost for drivers and employers. There is also no separate fuel BIK charge when an employer does not provide private fuel — a useful saving to understand when comparing total running costs.

MAINTENANCE MADE SIMPLE

One fixed plan for more peace of mind.

A maintenance package can bundle routine servicing, MOTs, tyres and many wear-and-tear repairs into an agreed monthly cost. It gives you a clearer view of fleet spend, helps protect vehicle uptime and means drivers know exactly where to turn when something needs attention.
