What is and how does operational leasing work?
Operational leasing is a financing service provided to legal entities. They thus obtain the possibility to outsource all services related to the maintenance and management costs of a car or a fleet of cars. The company financing the operating lease, in this case Business Lease, assumes the responsibility for the management of the car or fleet in question.
This means that Business Lease undertakes to pay all taxes, insurance policies, Ro -vignette, repairs, overhauls and any maintenance operations, to manage the purchase, exchange and storage of spare tires, to provide roadside assistance if necessary and other associated services and costs.
The term popularly used to define operational leasing is “long-term leasing” which is a financing solution appreciated by companies internationally. Operational leasing is gaining more and more ground over traditional methods of purchasing a car by a company, as it leaves beneficiaries the opportunity to direct liquidity to what really matters for the business. It also relieves internal staff of all aspects related to the purchase, maintenance and maintenance of the vehicles in the fleet, as well as their resale.
Types of operational leasing
Business Lease offers its customers two distinct types of operational leasing for legal entities. They have their own characteristics, each suitable for a certain type of company, depending on the needs of each entity.
Net operating leasing and full operational leasing are two effective financing services for companies wishing to purchase a car or for expanding the existing car fleet.
FULL operational leasing
This form of leasing requires Business Lease to be the owner of the car. The company or person who opts for full operational leasing will only pay for its use. Through this service, the company’s employees will be exempted from all risks related to the purchase of a car, and all the responsibility will be taken over by Business Lease.
Advantages of the full operational leasing service:
- A clear overview on costs for the coming years;
- Benefit from complete maintenance and repair services for the purchased car or fleet;
- The vehicles will not be in the accounting records of your company;
- A matrix that can give you transparency and predictability in terms of maintenance costs depending on turnover and period.
By purchasing the FULL (complete) operational leasing services offered by Business Lease, your company will be exempted from the entire car purchase process, but also from its sale at the end of the contract. In addition, maintenance costs and related repairs, purchase of tires, replacement and storage will be fully managed by the lessor.
All taxes and duties, MTPL and CASCO insurance are also the responsibility of Business Lease. Full operating leases also include fuel card, roadside replacement car assistance, if needed.
Reports
Another important aspect is that Business Lease will manage everything, including the fuel card, replacing the car in case needed, paying for insurance, taxes, picking up and delivering the car, and the customer will also receive an online report.
In exchange for this service, your company will operate safely, paying a fixed monthly rate. There will be no unforeseen costs or risk of residual value, and the cars will be in the accounting records of Business Lease .
NET operational leasing
Through this form of leasing, Business Lease is the owner of the car, managing the purchase of the car, registration, taxes and insurance.
