Leasing Explained

Business leasing is a way for companies to access new vehicles by paying a consistent monthly fee over a fixed contract period, typically lasting between two and four years. Instead of purchasing the van outright, your business essentially rents it for the long term, allowing you and your team to drive brand-new models without the upfront costs of buying. It’s a smart, cost-efficient method to keep your business mobile while preserving working capital.

Leasing vehicles through your business offers predictable monthly costs, making it easier to manage and forecast your company’s transport expenses. It also means your capital isn’t tied up in vehicle ownership, freeing funds for other priorities like expanding your team, investing in equipment, or upgrading office space. Since the vehicles are leased, you’re not affected by depreciation, and many leasing costs—including VAT—can be reclaimed if your business is eligible. Plus, regularly updating your fleet ensures staff drive the newest models, supporting both safety standards and a strong professional image.

A business lease typically covers essentials like road tax, breakdown assistance, the full manufacturer warranty, and free delivery anywhere in the UK. For added convenience, you can also include an optional maintenance package for an extra monthly fee, which helps cover routine servicing, minor repairs, scuffs, and small dents—giving you greater peace of mind and fewer unexpected costs.

Demon Conversions is a vehicle conversion specialist. In partnership with Bald Builders Vans, they supply brand-new modified vehicles as well as conversion kits that allow you to upgrade your existing vehicle. Demon Conversions currently offer modifications across a number of vehicle makes and models, including the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Land Rover Defender and Ford Puma.

Exactly the same as leasing a standard vehicle! The cost of the conversion kit is simply added to the cost of the vehicle. First you would make your initial payment, followed by monthly rentals for the length of the contract term, with balloon payment at the end. A larger upfront payment reduces your monthly costs. Lease terms usually range from 2 to 4 years, offering flexibility to suit your budget.

Nope- again, it's exactly the same as with a standard van! You’re not buying the van, just using it. When the lease ends, you hand it back without concerns about its resale value.

Leasing can be a smart, cost-effective way to drive a new van, but it's important to weigh a few key factors before signing a contract:

1. Mileage Limits
Lease deals come with a set annual mileage allowance. Exceeding it can lead to excess mileage charges, so choose a realistic limit based on your driving habits.

2. Vehicle Condition
You must return the van in good condition, allowing for fair wear and tear. Damage beyond this may result in extra fees.

3. Ownership
You won’t own the van at the end of the lease—you simply return it. If you prefer to eventually own a vehicle, a PCP or HP finance option may be better.

4. Early Termination
Ending a lease early can be costly, often requiring payment of remaining rentals or a termination fee.

5. Upfront and Monthly Costs
Leasing involves an initial payment (e.g. 3–6 months' rental) and fixed monthly fees. A larger initial payment usually lowers monthly costs.

6. Credit Check
Leasing is a form of finance, so you'll need a credit check to qualify.

7. Insurance
You must arrange fully comprehensive insurance, as it’s not included in the lease.

8. Maintenance & Servicing
Some leases offer optional maintenance packages for predictable running costs. Without it, you're responsible for servicing and repairs during the lease.
