Funding a Fleet Tracking System

There are many buyers that are keen to purchase a fleet tracking system for their business but do not pursue it as they feel that they do not have the available cash. An outright purchase is just one of the many means of purchasing a tracking system as the suppliers of these systems normally offer their customers many options.

A popular method of purchasing a tracking system is through leasing. A business lease breaks the total or cost of a fleet tracking system into smaller monthly payments. Normally a deposit is not required or the majority of lease providers charge a relatively small administration / documentation fee which is included in the first monthly payment. Leasing has been a popular option because it has made tracking systems more affordable for many companies and has allowed them to make a quicker return on investment, as quickly as the first month. Due to the economic recession and the subsequent effects on the lending markets, business leases have become more difficult for companies to obtain in recent years as the criteria has changed, especially for smaller business. It is common for lease companies to require a director’s guarantee as a condition of the lease.

For companies that are unable to obtain a lease, tracking suppliers have introduced new flexible payment options such as pay as you go, monthly subscription and renting. These payment options ensure that tracking remains affordable for all types of businesses.
