What is Contract Hire?
A Contract Hire agreement is a method of funding the use of an asset over an agreed period. You will not own the asset at the end of the contract and the assets will need to be returned to the supplier.
In conjunction with one of our authorised asset suppliers, PTSB Asset Finance’s Contract Hire Product offers a complete asset funding solution. This product is suitable for business customers only.
Our Contract Hire can offer you:
- Lower monthly rentals as you are not financing the full cost of the vehicle
- Minimum loan amount €10,000
- Facilitates use of an asset without taking ownership
- Rentals are usually deductible against taxable profits
- Rentals can be tailored to meet cash flow needs
- Spread the cost of the asset in line with its value to your business
- No initial cash deposit or costs on disposal
- Protected from any risks of an asset losing value
VAT is charged on the rentals.
