Hire Purchase for business cars

Hire Purchase explained

  • Fixed and variable rate options available.
  • Flexible finance for a business car you want to keep at the end of the contract.
  • During the contract period we’ll be the legal owner, but you’ll be responsible for maintenance, repairs and insurance. You’ll become the owner of the car when you make the final payment and, if applicable, the Option to Purchase Fee.
  • There’s flexibility with monthly payments, based on how much you pay in an original deposit and a final lump sum payment at the end of your agreement. You may be able to choose a 0% deposit. If you apply online there’s no arrangement fee to pay.  

If you're a Sole Trader or Partnership of 2 or 3 partners borrowing up to £25,000.00, or a private individual borrowing any amount, your agreement will be regulated by the Consumer Credit Act (1974). This means you'll have a Fixed Rate Regulated Conditional Sale agreement.  Check out our factsheets for more information Fixed Rate Conditional Sale (PDF, 274KB)Fixed Rate Hire Purchase (PDF, 181KB), Variable Rate Hire Purchase (PDF, 215KB).
