The Facts All you need to know about financing your next vehicle now is the time to make sure you're not paying more than you need to

How Many Times have you heard the following statements?
I've got the money so I've always paid cash - anyway it's cheaper

I'm not paying interest to a finance/leasing company - it will cost me more

The Facts All you need to know about financing your next vehicle now is the time to make sure you're not paying more than you need to

My accountant told me to buy it

If I buy it, I'll be able to sell it if I need to

I've always done it that way

I am going to assume the business's tax rate is at 28%, flat rate for hire purchase is 5% per annum and the business return on funds employed is also 5% per annum
