Sometimes you need to be flexible...
We are regularly asked by customers if we do short term or flexible vehicle hire - and now the answer is....YES!
This type of product is useful for:
- Businesses taking on new staff for an initial probationary period - take a car for the duration of the probation on flexible hire before committing to a longer contract
- Bridging a gap between a contract ending and delivery of a new car or van
- When a vehicle is sold or written off before a new one is ready to replace it

Did you know...
...that in recent months lenders who have pulled out of asset finance include - Bank of Scotland Equipment Finance, Bank of Ireland, and Capital Bank Motor?
In addition many of the remaining lenders have greatly reduced their appetite for new business, as have the "big four" high street banks and their asset finance subsidiaries.
Also, Contract Hire funders Lloyds, Lex and Bank of Scotland have merged, and Hitachi Vehicle Management and HSBC Vehicle Management have left the market.
Not good news for businesses looking for competitive finance deals for their vehicles, machinery and equipment!
However, the good news is that Allied Asset Finance is an authorised broker for a range of market leading lenders with highly competitive rates and terms for Hire Purchase, Leasing and Contract Hire on all types of business assets.
If you're looking for the best finance deal (and who isn't?!) there's never been a better time to call us for a quote on 01761 241055.

Are you paying more for financing business assets than you need to?
Our rates and terms have always been very competitive compared to finance offered by dealers, but recently we've noticed that the gap between our best rates and the higher rates being offered by dealers appears to have widened.
If you are buying vehicles, machinery or equipment give us a call and compare our finance rates with those being offered by your dealer - you could be very pleasantly surprised at how much money you can save!
Our rates start at just 3.75% flat* for balances of £15k or more for both new and used assets.
*Above rates are subject to changes in Finance House lending rates and are applicable to advances of £15,000 or more over a minimum period of 3 years. Example: Cost £16,500, deposit £1,500, advance £15,000, repayments 1@ £546.90 incl £250 doc fee, followed by 58 @ £296.90 and final payment of £396.90 incl £100.00 option to Purchase Fee. APR 8.2% subject to status & credit approval. Errors and omissions excepted.
