Business Contract Hire is a popular method to fund a brand-new car or van. As it reduces overhead operating costs, improves cash flow and reduces risk.
Business Contract Hire (BCH) is a popular way for businesses and organisations to get a brand-new vehicle, be it a car or van. With BCH you lease the vehicle over an agreed period of time, typically 24, 36 and 48 months and with a fixed monthly rental price. BCH is a form of vehicle rental, meaning you do not take ownership of it.
Not taking ownership of the vehicle has several positive aspects. The first is that it reduces overhead costs and allows you to invest more money into the business, instead of a depreciating asset. Another reason is that it improves overall cash flow, as your fixed monthly costs will never change allowing you to budget month-on-month (MoM) accordingly.
One of the most popular reasons for BCH is the VAT recovery, which can be around 50% on the finance rental for cars and 100% on the maintenance and service areas. It's also fully recoverable for vans.
Most business contracts include maintenance and service packages as part of the cost. This can include brakes, tyres, oil changes and other general maintenance. The great thing about these packages is that they're part of your fixed monthly cost. Therefore the only real expenditure that you have to focus on is fuel and insurance costs.
A big reason why businesses and organisations prefer BCH is due to them being able to avoid the risk of vehicle depreciation and have fixed interest rates. You can also recover VAT on the costs of the vehicle to further save money and reduce the risk for your business.
