Acquiring trailers via an operating lease offers the lowest repayments for a given trailer as we build in our own residual value risk (the value of the asset at the end of the finance agreement). As a result you will be protected from all the problems of depreciation and disposal.


Like a finance lease, an Operating Lease offers your company the benefits of using a trailer without owning it. Each month you pay a fixed rental for an agreed period of time. The monthly rentals are subject to VAT and can normally be offset in full against taxable profit, however your accountant will treat the trailer as 'off' balance sheet and thereby improving gearing ratios.


At the end of the primary agreement you may have the opportunity to extend the finance agreement further (min 12 months) or return the trailer to us as per the return conditions in force.


If our standard arrangement is not suitable for your business needs we are able to customise an agreement to cover quarterly, half annual or annual payments, balloon payments, larger deposits, seasonal cash-flow trends, etc. - just ask!
