Here at Beds & Bucks Forktrucks Ltd we have been selling new and used forklifts as well as hiring forklifts for more than three decades. We are based in Newport Pagnell, north of Milton Keynes. Our position close to the M1 allows us to quickly and efficiently deliver forktrucks across the local area.
As experienced suppliers of new and used forklifts we understand that you may not be able to purchase a forklift in one go. Here at Beds and Bucks Forktrucks our huge range of forklifts are available with a number of finance deals. See the options below and find out what will be best for you in helping you to fulfill your next forklift requirement.
Paying cash up front for costly equipment can sap much-needed business capital. Asset Finance can help tailor a financial solution to help you acquire the assets you need. It is a flexible and powerful way to spread the purchase cost over an asset’s economic life.
This form of finance is chosen by a large proportion of users of materials handling equipment. If you require one rental to cover both the finance and maintenance of the equipment, giving fixed budgeting with no unexpected repair bills, you can choose a Contract Hire agreement. The agreement runs for a specified period, and the equipment is collected by the dealer at the end of the period when a new truck can be supplied.
Frees up capital for other investments
Allows easy budgeting for the upkeep of the equipment throughout the term
Deals can be structured to suit your needs - rental and return conditions fixed at the outset
Tax-efficient – 100% of rentals paid are normally offset against taxable profits
Off-balance sheet funding – equipment does not depreciate on your balance sheet
Improves gearing ratio
Rentals are classed as a revenue expense in the Profit and Loss account
Use of the equipment may increase your productivity – it could ‘pay for itself’ - rentals matched to income
VAT is payable on each rental rather than in full at the outset (which is the case for HP)
Unwilling to spend a large amount of capital on a forklift in one go? Hire Purchase means you can pay for it in manageable, fixed instalments, spread over a period of time. Funding is on balance sheet. The asset is purchased on your behalf and owned by the finance company until final payment is made, when ownership automatically transfers to you.
Frees up capital for other investments
