Types of Car Finance for the Self Employed

Hire Purchase (HP)

With HP, you pay an initial deposit followed by fixed monthly payments. Once you’ve made all the payments, the car is yours to keep. This is a great option if you want to own the car outright at the end of the term.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

PCP allows you to make lower monthly payments over the term of the agreement. At the end of the term, you can choose to make a final payment to own the car, return it, or trade it in for a new one. This option offers flexibility and can be ideal for those who like to switch cars regularly.

Personal Loans

A personal loan from a bank or other lender allows you to borrow a lump sum to buy a car outright. You then repay the loan in fixed monthly instalments. This option can be useful if you prefer to manage the car purchase separately from your car finance.
