Your financial lease is ending and your van is almost yours. What do you do with it now? Keep it yourself, sell it to a private buyer, or sell it to a buyer like Opkoper Bedrijfswagen? We list all the options so you don't leave money on the table.
After a financial lease, the situation differs per contract. Usually you paid a down payment and the rest is paid off. Ownership only transfers after payment of the final installment and sometimes a balloon payment. So you are (almost) the owner and can choose: keep the van yourself, sell it to a private buyer or dealer, or sell it to a buyer who takes the whole process off your hands.
<p>The big advantage of financial lease is that the vehicle is on your company balance sheet during the term. You have fiscal ownership, which means you have already reclaimed the VAT on purchase and can depreciate annually. After the final installment plus any balloon payment, you are legally the full owner. What you do after that is up to you. Keep in mind that you may have to pay VAT and income tax on the sale, depending on how the van is on the balance sheet. We recommend discussing this with your accountant.</p>
As the end date of your financial lease approaches, you have several choices. Which is best depends on your business situation, the condition of the van, and the market value. We explain each option.
Do you still need a reliable van for your business? Then keeping it is the simplest route. You know the maintenance history and no extra administrative steps are needed. You take over the van for the buyout amount or balloon payment and keep driving. Don't forget to update the insurance and taxes from business to private use if you no longer use the van for business.
Private buyers often look for a used van with a full maintenance history. That can make your van interesting. You will have to place ads yourself, arrange viewings, and determine the price. Keep in mind that this takes time and you may have to negotiate. As a seller, you are also obliged to provide the correct warranty, depending on the age of the van.

When purchasing a new model, you can trade in your old van. Dealers, however, account for a profit margin and any repair costs. You often get less than the market value. The advantage is that it is quick and you don't have to find a private buyer. Realize that the trade-in price is usually non-negotiable and is presented as a total package with the new purchase.
A specialized buyer like Opkoper Bedrijfswagen buys your van directly after the lease. You don't have to arrange anything yourself: we do a free valuation, make you a fair offer, and handle all the paperwork. Because we often give the van a second life, we are interested in various brands and model years. This is the fastest way to get rid of your lease van without hassle, while still receiving a market-conform price. Discover how it works.
With some leasing companies, you can extend the term of the financial lease. This can be interesting if you don't want to or can't pay the balloon payment in one go. You then spread that cost over a new period. Keep in mind that the van gets older and maintenance costs may rise. Always request a new contract to avoid surprises.
