Is hire-purchase right for my business?
Hire purchase is one of the best business tools to gain the benefits of ownership without investing your all into a single disbursement up front.
It’s a simple facility which allows the customer to bear the cost of their investment with the broader shoulders of time, and to gain ownership at the end of the agreement, either automatically or on payment of an option to purchase.
For tax purposes, from the beginning of the agreement, the business customer is considered as the owner of the equipment and can therefore claim capital allowances. Repayment interest is usually offset against profit.
Creative can offer various types of Hire Purchase
Variable Rate – These payment terms can increase or decrease
- Fixed Rate – Your payment terms won’t fluctuate throughout the repayment period
- Structured Payment Profile – amongst others we can consider:
- VAT Deferral
- Seasonal Payment Profile

- Lease Purchase
