Weighing up fleet leasing versus outright purchase

February 5th, 2008

Starting a new business requires a lot of initial expenses. If you are running a small operation then financing can be a challenge. High capital expenditure on equipment needs to be weighed up to determine the suitability of the investment. That’s why when I was confronted with either and outright purchase or fleet leasing I decided that the only way to come to a meaningful and informed decision was to run the numbers. I could then calculate the lifetime cost of the vehicle and compare outright ownership against the value derived from leasing. In the end I decided that the taxation benefits would be more beneficial if I opted for the leasing solution.
