Hire Purchase

What is Hire Purchase?

Hire purchase enables businesses to purchase new assets without compromising cash flow by staging the payments over a longer period. By paying a hire purchase company through a series of instalments, you avoid the need to buy the asset outright and reduce the impact of the investment on your business.

Although you’ll be responsible for the asset’s maintenance throughout the duration of the hire purchase contract, the fixed monthly payments help with budgeting and, at the end of the agreement, your company will have the option to buy the asset.

As a specialist asset based finance broker, we have access to a large number of asset finance providers and can help your business secure the most suitable facility. To discuss your requirements with one of our expert team, call 0800 9774833 or request a call back.

Is hire purchase right for my business?

This depends on a number of factors, for instance how long you require the asset for, or whether you might benefit from an additional funding boost.

For instance, a variation on this product which could be more suitable is lease purchase, which works in the same way except the residual value is offset until the end of the agreement. This helps to reduce the repayments, and also ensures you own the asset outright at the end of the contract.

We have access to a wide range of hire purchase companies on the market to help businesses secure the most suitable facility for their requirements.
