Purchasing a new vehicle for your business is a big decision, but it doesn't have to come with a big upfront cost. With business finance, you can spread the expense with flexible payment options tailored to your company’s needs. Whether you're expanding your fleet or upgrading to a more efficient vehicle, Snows makes the process simple, transparent, and tax-efficient.
Investing in a new van or company car outright can tie up essential cash flow that’s better used elsewhere in your business. With vehicle finance, you can:
Whether you're a sole trader or a fleet manager, choosing finance can improve your cash flow and increase operational flexibility, especially as interest rates and vehicle prices are rising.
Hire Purchase (HP)
A straightforward option where you pay a deposit, followed by fixed monthly payments. Once the term ends, the vehicle is yours. Ownership: Yes, at end of term. Best for: Businesses wanting long-term ownership.
Business Contract Hire (BCH)
Lease the vehicle for a fixed period with agreed mileage. Return it at the end of the contract. Ownership: No. Best for: Lower monthly payments and no resale hassle.
Lease Purchase
A hybrid between HP and leasing. You pay lower monthly payments, then a final balloon payment to own the vehicle. Ownership: Yes, after balloon payment. Best for: Businesses wanting flexibility and ownership.
Fleet Finance
Manage multiple vehicles under one agreement with flexible terms and optional maintenance packages.
Buying a business vehicle through finance could offer your company significant tax advantages, especially if you're considering low-emission or electric models.
✅ Capital Allowances: Companies can claim 100% first-year capital allowances on qualifying low- and zero-emission vehicles, reducing your corporation tax bill.
✅ VAT Recovery: If your vehicle is used exclusively for business, you may be eligible to reclaim up to 100% of VAT on finance leases and running costs.
✅ Lower Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) Rates: Electric and hybrid vehicles qualify for reduced BIK tax rates, making them a smart choice for company car drivers and directors.
