THINKING OF SWITCHING FLEET PROVIDERS? HERE’S WHY IT COULD BE A SMART MOVE

Changing fleet providers is a significant decision – but for businesses of all sizes, it can be a strategic step toward reducing costs and achieving sustainability targets. At Agnew Leasing, we specialise in helping companies make smarter fleet choices through two key areas: Whole Life Cost (WLC) analysis and Electric Vehicle (EV) integration. Whole Life Cost (WLC) Analysis Many businesses focus solely on monthly lease payments, but that can be misleading. A true cost effective decision comes from understanding the total cost of ownership over the vehicle’s lifecycle. Our WLC analysis includes: Fuel costs: What’s the most efficient and cost effective solution for your business mileage? Tax implications: Choosing the right vehicles means factoring in National Insurance, Benefit-in-Kind (BIK), and Corporation Tax. Funding method: We can analyse various funding methods to ensure you select the optimum option for your business. Using advanced modelling software, we deliver clear, data driven reports that highlight which vehicles offer the best long term value for your business. Electric Vehicle (EV) Integration Transitioning to EVs is no longer just a trend – it’s a necessity for both financial and environmental reasons. But it can be complex. That’s where our EV consultancy comes in. We help you:

Choose the right EVs: Not every electric vehicle suits every business. Maximise financial benefits: EVs often come with lower WLCs, reduced fuel and maintenance costs,

and significant tax savings (lower BIK & Class 1A NIC). Build a strategic transition plan: We’ll help you model the shift and manage the rollout smoothly.
