Customers have four primary equipment finance options available to them:
Commercial Hire Purchase
This is ideal for a customer who is looking to own the goods
through the term, expense the depreciation and interest portions
and own the goods at the end of the term for whatever residual
value the customer would like. CHP is ideal for goods that the
customer would like to own via a financial balloon payment.
Financial Lease
Well suited to a customer that would like to expense the entire
lease payment and may want to own the goods at the end of the
term. This option provides for a certain residual value that will
be an approximation of the market value of the goods at the end of
the term. A Financial Lease is ideal for goods that will likely be
turned over at the end of the term.
Operating Lease
Similar to a rental agreement, the customer expenses the payments
in full and then looks to either hand the goods back at the end of
the term with no residual obligation, may look to upgrade or mat
even look to continue to lease the goods if they still have an
application. Operating Lease is ideal for goods that will be
turned over either before or at the end of the term, like IT and
peripherals.
Term Loan
This is a simple loan facility with no balloon payment. The end
result is ownership of the goods.
Any facility can be structured to meet the needs of the customer
and this includes the ability to bundle all costs into the
facility. These costs usually include, but are not limited to,
servicing, maintenance and installation.
