Whether you're an independent proprietor or seeking a fleet of vans to drive growth, business van leasing is a cost-effective way into driving a new van without significantly impacting your business financially.
Leasing a van allows you to avoid the large upfront costs associated with buying a van outright. Instead, leasing a van means you instead pay fixed monthly rental fees to drive a new van during the term of the lease agreement.
By eliminating the large upfront cost in favour of cost-effective monthly rental fees, van leasing frees up capital that can instead be allocated to other areas of your business operation. For a breakdown of deposits, balloon options and term lengths, see our Finance Options guide.
More manageable fixed monthly payments will open up a wide range of make and model options to ensure you get the van that best suits your business needs.
Vansdirect offers a huge range of vans in varying sizes and body types, including small vans, medium vans, large vans, pick-up trucks, electric vans, crew cab vans, tipper vans and more. If you're unsure which body style fits best, dive into our Body Type Guide.
Adjusting the rental term and agreed mileage gives you financial flexibility to ensure you get to drive the right van at the right deal that will really benefit your business.
With fixed monthly payments each month, leasing a van gives you greater control over your business finances and will assist with budgeting.
With no unexpected surprises or hidden fees at the end of the month once you have agreed your van lease, your business will benefit from better forecasting for financial stability. You can fine-tune operating budgets with the help of our Running Costs guide.
Your lease agreement is tax deductible, ensuring financial benefits for your business.
Offset your monthly lease payments by deducting them against your taxable profits. Under HMRC rules, van lease payments are considered an allowable business expense, which means you can subtract them from your profits and reduce the amount of tax your business has to pay.
For businesses paying Corporation Tax, this can be particularly useful and by lowering your taxable profits, you can save up to 25% (or the applicable Corporation Tax rate) on the cost of your van lease. Full relief rules are explained in the Tax Benefits guide.
A leasing agreement gives you access to the very latest new vans.
Whatever the size, whatever the body type and whatever the powertrain, lease a van with Vansdirect and you will be driving a brand-new van brimming with the latest in technology and innovation.
From the latest safety features to state-of-the-art gadgets to sophisticated engineering advancements, your business will look and perform at its best with a new van lease.
By driving a new van at the beginning of your van lease agreement, there is reduced concern about maintenance and repairs. Aside from being factory fresh, new vans feature multi-year manufacturer warranties that cover many unforeseen mechanical issues, while there are no MOT requirement for the first three years of driving the van.
Additionally, many lease agreements include the option to build a van maintenance package into your fixed monthly fees. This helps to guarantee your van remains in its best condition and avoids any vehicle condition fees that may occur when the van is returned at the end of its lease. Follow our Wear & Tear guidelines to avoid condition charges at hand-back.
All vehicles lose value over time, but leasing a van with Vansdirect removes any concerns over depreciation. This is because you are paying to drive the van during the term of the lease and you will hand the van back at the end of the agreement.
By paying fixed monthly payments, you will not have to absorb the loss of value through depreciation, whereas you would if you owned the van outright.
The opportunity to drive a brand-new van and regularly update your fleet offers visible benefits to a business by appearing professional and contemporary.
Driving well-maintained vans can leave a positive impression on new and existing customers, demonstrating a commitment to quality and consumer trust for your business. Still aren't sure which van is right for you, see our helpful guide on How To Choose A Van
