Leasing a car as a self-employed person? Why short lease is the smartest solution

You started as Freelancer, or you've been on the road for a while. Orders are coming in and you need a reliable, representative car to visit your customers. Your first thought might be buying a car or taking out a traditional lease contract.

But what if there is a smarter way? A way that perfectly matches the dynamics of your entrepreneurship, without major investments and long commitments. Let's discover why short leasing is the ideal solution for the modern, flexible entrepreneur.

‍

Shortlease grows with you

A traditional lease contract is for 36, 48 or even 60 months. That is a huge commitment. What if, after a year, you get a big job that requires a spacious station wagon instead of your current, compact car? Or what if you have to work on a project abroad for six months? With a long-term contract, you are stuck. You continue to pay monthly for a car that may no longer suit your situation.

The solution is a contract that is as flexible as you are. With contracts that can be canceled flexibly after just one month, you maintain control. A project has ended and you no longer need the car? Then you can easily unsubscribe via the VWP Shortlease website. Are things going well and do you need another car? This is also easy and quick to arrange at VWP.

Invest in your business, not your car

Buying a car, whether it's new or used, costs a lot of money. Money that is much better spent on marketing, professional equipment or building up a financial buffer. Even with a financial lease, you often have to pay a down payment and you are responsible for all unexpected costs. A technical problem or expensive maintenance can immediately jeopardize your cash flow.

With short lease, there is no major upfront investment. You pay a fixed, well-organized monthly fee that includes everything: maintenance, repairs, insurance, road tax and roadside assistance. The only variable costs are your fuel. This way, you keep your working capital free for the growth of your company and you know exactly what your mobility costs you per month. No more nasty financial surprises.

Do get an agreement, even without 3 years of annual results

Banks and traditional leasing companies often ask for annual results for the past three years. As a starting entrepreneur, you simply cannot discuss them. As a result, you often fall by the wayside immediately, no matter how successful you are.

We understand the independent entrepreneur like no other. That is why we use a more flexible acceptance process. This makes it possible for you, as a starting freelancer, to work directly in a professional and reliable car to walk.
