So, which Commercial Vehicle Finance plan is right for you?
If your business is VAT registered, you could benefit from tax allowable rentals. Depending on what is most convenient to you, there are then two main options – Ford Finance Lease and Ford Contract Hire. Finance Lease gives you the responsibility of disposing of the vehicle at the end of the term, which could allow you to take a profit on the resale. Contract Hire leaves no responsibility with you for the disposal of the vehicle. At the end of the term you simply hand the vehicle back.
Ford Finance Lease
These are lease plans for commercial vehicle customers, where you sell the vehicle when you reach the end of the agreement. Any sales proceeds are returned to you. You pay an advance rental, followed by fixed monthly rentals. You can reduce your monthly rental cost by opting for Finance Lease with balloon.

What happens at the end of my agreement?
If you are opting to sell the vehicle on behalf of Ford Lease then you can choose one of the following options:
As an alternative, you can extend into a secondary period of the agreement, where you pay a nominal peppercorn rental of £100+VAT per year. If you have taken the Ford Finance Lease with balloon option, you are required to settle the balloon amount at the end of the primary term, with Ford Lease.
