Vendor Finance Schemes - Benefits To Your UK Customers - Quick Guide

Leasing vs Outright Purchase

No Capital Expenditure

Let them keep their money in their business and spend it on growing their company.

Leasing all assets helps a company grow far quicker - meaning more equipment will be required and can be sold into them in the future.

Fixed Term (Allows Effective Budgeting)

Leasing can be offered on a minimum of 24 months up to and in excess of 60 months, but shorter terms can also be arranged if required. The customer then knows the exact amount that will be coming out of their business each month.

Fixed Payment (A Hedge Against Inflation)

Once a lease is signed and activated, the rental figures are fixed for the duration of the term of the finance document, hedging against inflation - something that is currently very key with businesses in the United Kingdom

Preserve Other Credit Facilities

A quality leasing scheme normally gives your customer access to at least 10 -15 independent funding lines.

Through usinga reputable brokerfor your customers they are preserving any other credit lines for future use, such as their banking facilities.

The Ability To Upgrade Equipment

Allow the customer access to upgraded equipment when it becomes available. This ensures the customer always has cutting-edge equipment for a monthly ongoing fee, each time also helping your business realise a new sale from each upgrade.

Rentals Are 100% Allowable Against Taxable Profits

Lease Rental is fast becoming the most popular way of acquiring new equipment for a business. Due to the tax relief available, many businesses choose to lease products over outright purchase wherever possible.Aleasing scheme simply helps them do this effortlessly.

Allows You the Equipment You Need Today

You can sell the business the equipment they require to optimise their operation today, rather than have them compromise due to lack of funds. For a simple monthly fee you can supply them their perfect solution and maximise the sale potential for your own business.

I'll just add that if I was going into business for myself and could only have one skill it would be Sales & Marketing. You need to be able to create customers first and foremost. Finance is more of a support function for entrepreneurs.
