Sale and leaseback
Could sale and leaseback support your fleet electrification?
Sale and leaseback gives you the opportunity to realise the value potentially tied up in your fleet. By having a leasing provider buy some or all of your vehicles and then lease them back to you, you gain a constant fixed monthly rental you can budget for, rather than variable costs.
This enables you to continue using your vehicles, benefiting from a lump sum, and protect yourself against residual value risks. Sale and Leaseback offers valuable solutions to organisations that are facing increased costs across the board and are under pressure to begin the transition to EVs.
The key benefits of partnering with ALD Automotive for sale and leaseback include:
- Releasing funds that are currently tied up.
- Fixed monthly rentals for more effective budgeting.
- Access to a wide range of services including comprehensive management, reporting, maintenance, breakdown assistance, etc.
- Support in planning ahead – EV analysis, fleet optimisation analysis and fleet policy analysis.
- Avoid future residual value risk.
- Avoid risk of borrowing costs rising.
- Flexible arrangements for fleet management, including finance only with no management.
- Flexible sale and lease arrangements, including the option of buying back some vehicles later.
Is sale and leaseback for you?
If your organisation currently owns the vehicles in your fleet, it’s worth exploring the benefits of switching to a Contract Hire agreement. This can be particularly useful if you face increased borrowing costs and are planning or managing the process of switching to electric vehicles.
Recent Total Cost of Ownership analysis across our entire fleet suggests that, in many cases, leasing EVs is more cost effective than outright purchase.
How it works:
1. We obtain confirmation of each vehicle’s age, mileage and ownership information, as well as any existing finance against the vehicle and whether the vehicles qualify for VAT.
2. We discuss with you whether the vehicles should be purchased at their book value (written down value) or an agreed market value.
3. We will arrange an inspection of a sample of the vehicles (typically 25% of your fleet).
4. You decide when you want the sale and leaseback to begin.
