Fleet financing options
From buying to full-service leasing
There are many ways to finance your fleet. From buying the vehicles and managing them yourself to full-service leasing, where a leasing company finances and manages your fleet with you. At Ayvens, we offer a wide range of flexible financing solutions tailored to meet your specific business needs. Our financing options provide cost-effective ways to acquire and manage vehicles, offering operational and financial benefits. Let’s dive into the different methods of financing a fleet and the details of each option.
Buying an own car
As a company, you finance your vehicles with company money or with a bank loan. Managing the fleet will be done by an employee. The typical fleet management tasks this employee or employees will need to do range from ordering vehicles to managing fuel, driver services, taxation and eventually, selling the vehicle. When a company funds the vehicles in fleet, the company also takes on the residual value risk.
Financial lease only
In the case of financial leasing, the fleet management company finances the company's vehicles, but the company itself performs all of the operational tasks. The contracts are typically for a period of 3-4 years and the company pays a monthly fee to the leasing company or bank. Depending on whether it is an open-end or closed-end lease, ownership may pass to the company at the end of the term. This is guaranteed in the case of a closed-end financial lease, while in the case of an open-end option, the financier offers the company a purchase option. The financial leasing scheme does not provide the financial advantage that the operational lease does, namely the VAT recovery of the monthly fee
Operational leasing with a fleet management company
If a fleet management company is involved, the company is - partially or entirely - exempted from the financial and administrative burdens associated with the financing and operation of the fleet, based on the chosen scheme. Ayvens' broad portfolio of services enables every company to find the most favorable form of fleet operation for them. It is possible to outsource the financing or operation of the fleet, partial tasks or even the entire company fleet can be transferred.
