Navigating Fleet Financing

From purchase to all-inclusive leasing

There are many ways to finance your fleet. From the purchase of the vehicles and their management in-house to all-inclusive leasing, where a leasing company finances and manages your fleet with you.

At Ayvens, we offer a wide range of flexible financing solutions designed to meet your specific business needs. Our financing options offer cost-effective ways to acquire and manage vehicles, providing operational and financial benefits. Let's explore the different methods of financing a fleet and the details of each option.

Purchase

As a company, you finance your vehicles with equity or a bank loan. The fleet will be managed by an employee. The typical fleet management tasks that this employee or employees will need to perform range from ordering vehicles to managing fuel, driver services, taxation, and ultimately selling the vehicle. When a company finances the vehicles in its fleet, it also assumes the residual value risk.

Financial leasing only

A financial lease is almost the opposite of a leasing contract that includes only management. With a financial lease, the fleet management company finances the company's vehicles while the management of the vehicles is carried out by the company itself, not by the fleet management company (leasing). Contracts are typically for 3 to 4 years, and the residual value risk is assumed by the fleet management company.

Management only

With a leasing contract that includes only management, the company always finances the purchase of the vehicles with its own funds or with a bank loan, but a fleet management company (leasing) takes care of the vehicle-related services. The residual value risk remains with the company, as the vehicles are still owned by the company. In the case of management leasing only, the fleet management company takes care of all matters relating to the fleet, from ordering and managing the cars to providing support to drivers.

All-inclusive leasing

All-inclusive leasing is the most comprehensive leasing option. The fleet management company (e.g. Ayvens) finances the purchase of the vehicles and manages the fleet, from ordering, fuel management to driver services. The fleet management company also takes care of the residual value as well as the risks related to repair and maintenance costs. Contracts are usually for 3 to 4 years, with options to extend or opt for a flexible contract.

Pre-Owned Vehicle

Are you looking for a leased car but are on a tight budget? Or do you need a car quickly? Leasing used cars can be the ideal solution. All cars are four years old or younger, are well-maintained, and have low mileage. Leasing a used car means that the car can be delivered much faster than a new car, 12-month contracts are available, and it's more affordable than leasing a new car. Find out more about used car leasing.

Commercial Leasing

At Ayvens, we know that a van is not a car and requires a different approach. That's why we specialise in both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Offering tailor-made advice for LCVs, from selecting the right vehicle to installing racking, we are here for you. Find out more about commercial vehicle leasing.

Free up your capital with Sales & Leaseback

If you need cash to invest in your business, it's a good idea to consider selling and leasing back. The principle is exactly what the name suggests. You sell your company vehicles to Ayvens and then lease them from Ayvens, at a fixed monthly rate including repairs, maintenance and fleet support.
