Lease Purchase with Balloon Explained
What is Lease Purchase with Balloon?
Lease Purchase is a straightforward form of purchase agreement specially designed for business users. The initial advanced payment and repayment periods can be structured to help meet your budget and the length of time you anticipate owning the vehicle. You will automatically become the legal owner of the vehicle once all payments have been made.
A final lump sum balloon payment option is available if you would rather make lower repayments throughout the agreement. The balloon payment can be set to an amount that suits you, as long as it does not exceed the anticipated value of the vehicle at the end of the agreement.
How Lease Purchase with Balloon Works
1: Pay an advanced payment
Select the initial advanced payment you wish to pay, if any at all.
If you choose to pay a deposit, you can either pay in cash or trade in your existing vehicle (part exchange).
2: Set your terms
Choose how long you would like the agreement to run, the value of the balloon amount and make regular payments to repay the balance and interest. The interest rate is fixed which means you pay the same amount each month.
3: You own the vehicle
At the end of the agreement, you have one option:
Keep the vehicle: simply make the balloon payment and the vehicle is yours
Other things you should know:
- This is an unregulated agreement. We secure the agreement against the vehicle. If you don't keep up your repayments, we may take steps to recover the money owed. This may include repossessing the vehicle.
- Vehicle finance for business can be complex. The right finance plan will depend on several factors including business status, cashflow, other borrowings, and tax planning.
- We strongly suggest that you seek financial advice before making your decision.
- You can only get lease purchase if you’re a limited company, a PLC, or a limited partnership on an unregulated basis.
.
- Once all payments under the agreement have been made, including the balloon payment, you become the owner of the vehicle.
- The balloon payment is not optional and also attracts interest throughout the agreement
