    Any size fits

    Effective management of a fleet and improving your business performance at the same time, can be a tricky balance.

    Sale and leaseback can be a great opportunity for any size business that currently has fleet vehicles listed on their balance sheet. It can deliver a significant financial advantage, while improving the performance and management of your fleet.

    In simple terms, sale and leaseback is a transaction where you would sell your vehicles to a third party fleet management company who then simultaneously leases the vehicles back to you - usually on a fixed-term contract hire basis. You would retain complete operational control over the vehicles, as if you were still the owner, but your company would immediately benefit from the extra cash to use elsewhere in your business. The transfer is a seamless process with no disruption to your drivers. You will also benefit from the support of a Fleet Management partner, who will be able to help you manage your fleet more efficiently.
