Hire Purchase
Used by many businesses and is very similar to Equipment leasing where the lender holds ownership of the asset while the business owner makes tax deductible monthly repayments. At the end of the contract term when the total price of the equipment (minus any residual) and the interest is paid in full, the business then takes full ownership of the equipment.
