Sale & Leaseback

Another increasingly popular option for companies that already own their vehicles and who wish to use the capital tied up in their fleet elsewhere in their business.

The Sale & Leaseback option enables you to release the capital tied up in the vehicles you already own outright by transferring them to a contract hire or leasing agreement.

Under a Sale & Leaseback arrangement you sell the vehicles to DFC for an agreed price and these same vehicles are leased back to you for a fixed monthly charge. This enables you to switch to a more tax efficient method of funding whilst releasing the capital trapped within your vehicles for investment within your business.

The additional benefit of this funding method is that it is a seamless way to transfer the ownership. Not only do you keep your same vehicles on the road, but your drivers do not need to change vehicles. It is simply business as usual.

"As a cash rich company we always purchased our vehicles until DFC showed us an alternative fleet solution (Sale & Leaseback). The transfer of our existing fleet was seamless and the monthly rental solution has helped us to plan and budget throughout the year, without any vehicle ownership worries, disposal issues or administration headaches."
