Commercial vehicles for the self-employed

If you are a starting self-employed person, you may need a commercial vehicle to work. For example, it is a must if you have to transport a lot of material or many packages. In that case, a good, spacious company car increases productivity. However, if you are just starting out as a self-employed person, buying a commercial vehicle directly may be too expensive for you. That is why it is wise to take a look at leasing a commercial vehicle.

Leasing a commercial vehicle as a self-employed person

Leasing is a favorable way to drive a commercial vehicle as a self-employed person. Leasing a commercial vehicle offers a number of advantages, such as the fact that you do not have to make a large investment to be able to use the vehicle. Instead, you pay a fixed amount every month for the company car that you lease. With operating lease, this is an all-inclusive amount, with almost all costs included and you have little to worry about the commercial vehicle. With a financial lease, you pay a fixed monthly amount to eventually be able to take over the car. You are therefore responsible for matters such as maintenance, repairs and insurance. 

Leasing a commercial vehicle for a starting self-employed person

As a starting self-employed person, it is not always easy to lease a commercial vehicle. There are therefore a number of things that you have to take into account when leasing a commercial vehicle, such as the amount of the monthly costs and the lease conditions. Some lease companies have a strict acceptance policy and refuse starting freelancers. They often do this because starting freelancers cannot show financial data or because the company is still too young. At Bedrijfswagenleasing we are happy to help starting freelancers in their search for a suitable commercial vehicle.

The benefits for self-employed persons

Leasing a commercial vehicle has many advantages for the self-employed. First of all, you do not need a large investment to be able to use the commercial vehicle or eventually even to become the owner of the vehicle. In addition, you do not have to worry about additional costs with an operational lease, since maintenance, insurance and road tax are included in the monthly amount. With a financial lease you benefit from various tax benefits, such as investment and interest deduction and VAT recovery. Leasing a commercial vehicle is therefore a good choice for self-employed persons.
