Lease car via my Company or Private?

[amaze]

Hi,

I am looking to sell my current car after losing over 30k in a year on it - arghh! I think leasing looks a good option, however not sure if best to put via my business (which I am the only shareholder) or go private and direct? Sorry I'm sure this question has been asked lots of times, so any links to sites would be great.. :)

Thanks

I have leased in the past I always think its a better option to go private and claim back mileage. Ling is pretty competitive but I always go here www.contracthireandleasing.com (http://www.contracthireandleasing.com) to compare deals. Going private of course means you cant reclaim VAT but I think the pro's of private outweigh the cons.

30k in a year ouch! is that your car in the picture?

Buy a classic e-type and you wont lose a penny! The TR in my pic I bought for £6500, owned for a few years and sold for £6300 and no road tax to pay!
