At the end of the agreement, you will gain ownership of the van. It's important to note that you are not the legal owner of the vehicle until you have made the last payment.
At the beginning of the contract, you are expected to pay a deposit for your new van. The deposit is generally 20% (VAT) or more of the van's value. You can also choose the term of your agreement. This is usually from two to five years.
Note that you can offset the 20% deposit (VAT) against your next VAT return.
During the contract period, you will make affordable monthly instalments until the end of the contract. When you have made the last payment, you are the owner of the van.
Your annual percentage rate will vary depending on the vehicle as well as your credit score. This is why it's important to keep your credit score as high as possible.
