MV Commercial has launched an asset finance division to provide flexible funding packages for companies looking to invest in new premium trucks.

MV Asset Finance will underwrite sales of commercial vehicles supplied by MV Commercial on a variety of options, including variable rate, fixed-rate and operating lease.

The new division will enable operators to maximise the benefits from changes to the Annual Investment Allowance announced in the Budget, which increases in January 2019 from its current level of £200,000 to £1m a year. Businesses investing in equipment will be able to claim 100% tax relief on their purchases to enable investment in new fleet equipment.

In October last year, Leasing Life reported that the move greatly raises the tax deductible for businesses that invest in assets for production, and has the potential to boost demand for hire purchase facilities on equipment, albeit it does not apply to leases.

Businesses are able to claim the AIA in respect of their expenditure on both general and ‘special rate’ plant and machinery, with the main exception being expenditure on cars. The AIA is a 100% upfront allowance that applies to qualifying expenditure up to a specified annual limit.

Steven Cairns, managing director, MV Commercial, says: “MV Asset Finance will make it easier for businesses to fund purchases of premium vehicles which offer the highest level of specification, providing for maximum driver satisfaction. The fact that we’re prepared to underwrite and back the assets we build and supply is proof of our confidence in our product offering.”
