I posted this the other day on the BMW 330d deal.
f you really want to get a "business deal" then most of them accept you being self-employed. Whilst self-employed doesn't actually have a status as such (you are neither an employee nor a director of a business, if you follow) this can be readily achieved by you setting up your own self-employed / sole trader business. You might do a bit of gardening for an elderly neighbour and charge them £20 and give them a receipt or maybe fix someone's PC for them and charge and issue a receipt. So you only turned over £400 that tax year which you, of course, report via self-assessment (which many of us already have to fill out even as regular PAYE people). Self Assessment tax returns are usually accepted by lease companies for 'business deals'.
Read between the lines people.

Only if you really aren't a very good driver. I've driven my supercharged AMG up country hills in snow and ice without a major problem. You just need to know how to drive and/or fit winter tyres. There's so much electronic safety systems on a Merc, it's almost impossible to get them sideways (even when you want to..)

This really is extremely helpful. Thanks.
There will have been many, many people who didn't realise it was possible to buy a 7 year old car and keep it until you pointed it out.

Remind me not to get in a car with you. :wink:
I've only spun one of my rear-wheel drive sports cars to date (ahhem) & I'm approaching my 6th decade in life. :man:
Sometimes I can even reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.

Yes, as is the one posted earlier. I included it in the description above too. I only posted this deal as I commented on the earlier one that this cheaper deal is available but the earlier one is still getting more heat.
I didn't want anyone to end up going for that one at nearly £1,000 more when this is available.
It's not my cup of tea, but it's cheaper.

Hi, I'm new to leasing, what does it mean when it states 9+23, do you have to pay extra these months? Thanks in advance.
cuthy2k to Superhoops

it means you have to pay 9months of payment up front as a non-refundable deposit. Then 23 monthly payments after that.
Jimmyboy to Superhoops

Yes, upfront you pay 9 x the monthly payment. It used to be 3 payments and then sometimes 6 but now 9 seems the norm. Effectively by paying 9 upfront it allows them to make the remaining monthly payments look lower.

If you get car allowance through employer can you take up these business deals?
Jimmyboy to Youngy
27 Oct 15#11
I dont think so. A car allowance is like just having extra salary. To qualify for a business lease you would need to either get your employer to take it out in their company name or have your own company. Either way you will also pay benefit in kind tax each year too unless the car was solely for business use eg parked at the place of employment every night and weekend.

The lease firm I used allowed this, I just had to get my line manager to sign a form confirming that I was provided with a monthly car allowance.

it means 9 initial payment amounts to start with then your setup on a 23 month schedule so 9x204.99=1844.91 initial payment plus 23 months at £204.99

I know it says business lease but can i take this out as a private individual if i pay all the VAT included payments anyways?

Sometimes you can, sometimes not.
It's dependent upon how strict they are with it being a business lease.
Sometimes they only require a declaration that you are entitles to claim business mileage from your employer. Sometimes being in receipt of a car allowance will do it. Sometimes, as someone stated above, you need to be a bone fide business taking out the contract and nothing else will be accepted.
I'm afraid I don't know in this example, it would be a case of asking them.

Not normally - finance for personal is different to finance for business - different laws so they have to be strict which is one of the reasons business finance is cheaper is that their is no consumer protection.
