What is CP?
Contract Purchase is similar to Contract Hire but the business has the option to buy the vehicle at the end of the finance period.
The business pays a small upfront amount to a dealer or lender that delivers the new car (with a full manufacturer warranty) to the business for a contract period of 2 to 5 years.
The business then pays a fixed monthly payment across the period at the end of which it will have the option to pay a balloon payment to take full ownership of the car.
Like PCH, the monthly payments for PCP are often much cheaper than hire purchase or a loan but provides the extra flexibility of ownership if the business requires it.

Contract Hire
What is CH?
With Contract Hire the business pays a small upfront amount to a dealer or lender that delivers the new car (with a full manufacturer warranty) to the business for a contract period of 2 to 4 years.
The business then pays a fixed monthly payment and at the end of the period the car is collected and can be replaced with another new car.
Contract hire is very popular with businesses because they can get a minimum of 50% and up to 100% refund on VAT.
Furthermore, the monthly payment is usually up to 60% cheaper than Hire Purchase or a Loan and if combined with a maintenance package most on-road costs are contained a fixed monthly payment.

Hire Purchase
What is HP?
If a business uses hire purchase to finance the purchase of a car, it is committing to buying the car outright via a secured loan that is paid back monthly across the period (usually between 3 – 5 years).
Monthly payments are therefore much higher than Contract Hire or Contract Purchase.
However, the business will not own the car until the final monthly payment is made at the end of the term because the lender retains ownership until then.

Bank Loan
What is Loan?
This is an unsecured loan (often called a personal loan).
An unsecured loan is when the loan attaches to business (not the car) and business owns the car from the date of purchase.
Lenders often have a limit of around £20,000 for unsecured loans (for applicants with a very good credit history).
If a business defaults on the loan the lender will pursue the business and then other assets directly.
