Operating Lease - Business Car
An operating lease enables you to lease a motor vehicle without you taking the risks associated with owning the motor vehicle or having to outlay any capital to purchase the asset. Ownership of the asset is retained by the finance provider and you are provided with full use of the vehicle in return for a fixed monthly rental matched to a term and distance that suits your needs. At the end of the operating lease term, the vehicle is simply returned in a good condition and the your finance obligation ends.
