Franchise Spotlight: Vehicle Leasing

Demand is significant and leasing takes the hassle out of fleet management.

The future of the vehicle leasing industry, which caters mostly to businesses and fairly affluent consumers, looks promising, industry trends suggest.

Australia ranks sixth in the world for vehicle ownership per capita, with nearly 93% of households owning at least one car.

Moreover, statistics from ACA Research show that 52% of vehicles sold are then used in vehicle fleets – a huge proportion of which are leased to liberate organizations from the hassles of fleet management.

Market research from ResearchAndMarkets.com said commercial leasing demand was boosted by the complexities of managing fleets in house, including “cost spikes, utilisation mismatches, irregularities in fleet maintenance, and risks of dips in residual value”.

Vehicle leasing is a simple, comparatively inexpensive way to own the latest models, with the added benefits of road tax, breakdown cover and sometimes servicing being included for the duration of the contract.

And the rapid depreciation of vehicle values over the term makes not owning the asset less of a downside.

Franchise sector analysis

Previous experience in financial services or sales-orientated roles is often preferred, but not necessarily a deal-breaker.

Vehicle leasing franchisees benefit from training and support in areas such as marketing, settlement and compliance plus mutual support and advice from fellow franchisees.

One notable franchised player in this space is Stratton Finance, which leverages a panel of lenders and insurance partners to help customers finance the leasing or purchase of personal or commercial vehicles, as well as caravans, boats and commercial equipment, at the lowest possible prices.

Total minimum start-up costs start from $63,000, after which franchisees are paid for the settlement of loans.

Jim’s Financial Services, part of Jim’s Group, provides the same service, as well as business loans, pay plans and financial planning advice.

You might alternatively consider car hire franchises, which include global brands Hertz, Thrifty and Green Motion, among many others.
