FINANCE GUIDE
We understand that each business is different; that’s why we have an array of different tools we can use to tailor a finance package to match your specific requirements.
HIRE PURCHASE
A simple finance solution giving you the benefits of ownership without the capital outlay. Payments, made up of capital and fixed interest, may be repaid by monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annual payments and are fixed for the full period of the agreement. It is possible to design a bespoke repayment pattern that matches your business’ income and expenditure cycles, such as seasonal payments. The equipment becomes yours once all the payments have been made.
The benefits of Hire Purchase are:
• The equipment is owned at the end of the agreement
• Existing bank credit lines are not tied up
• The agreement can be settled at any time
• Rentals can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual or seasonal
• There are both fixed and variable rate schemes available
OPERATING LEASE
This is a lease with fixed instalments reflecting a predicted future residual value which remains unpaid by you. The residual risk is taken by Marubeni Komatsu Finance who recover the machine at the end of the period and sell it at the highest possible market value in order to realise this unpaid amount. This transfer of risk may allow the asset to be treated as off-balance-sheet and rentals are offset against taxable profits. VAT is payable with each rental and can be claimed back within the VAT period.
The benefits of an Operating Lease are:
• Rentals are usually lower than a standard hire purchase or finance lease
• Earnings to assets and gearing ratios are improved
• Total budgetary control as all costs can be built in and fixed for the term
FINANCE LEASE
Offset the lease of your equipment against your taxable profits when you enter a finance lease for a fixed period. VAT is collected on each rental and you can budget for fixed monthly payments. At the end of the agreement you can either continue to use the equipment or sell it for an agreed amount whilst keeping the majority of sale proceeds. An initial deposit (or advance rentals) are paid leaving the balance to be spread over an agreed term, typically 1-5 years.
The benefits of a finance lease are:
• The initial VAT payment is lower than that of hire purchase or a cash purchase
• Existing bank credit lines are not tied up
• Rentals can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual or seasonal
• Fixed rentals for accurate budgets.
