Types of Agreements Available

As Academies implement the IFRS accounting standard, Anglo Scottish will work with you to ensure that you remain compliant. For Local Authority Schools, implementation of the new standard has been delayed by two years. Our Operating Lease solutions will ensure that you too remain compliant.

Operating Lease For Schools

An operating lease is a form of rental agreement through which you the customer can make use of an asset over a fixed period in return for regular rental instalments to the lessor (the finance company).

Operating lease agreements typically have a shorter duration than the working life or “useful economic life” of the equipment, and a school is required to pay only a proportion of the capital value of the equipment over the agreed term.  This means that any equipment must be in a “sellable” condition and have residual value at the end of the term.

Under an operating lease, the leasing company (“lessor”) retains the risks and rewards of ownership, and it will also retain an investment in the equipment being leased.

It is important to remember, that you will not own the equipment at the end of an operating lease agreement.

Finance Lease

A finance lease is a contract between a lessor (a funder or finance company) and a lessee (your school, academy, or university), where the lessee requires the use of business equipment, vehicles, or machinery. The lessor provides the use of such equipment in exchange for pre-agreed regular payments.

Finance lease agreements usually run for all, or a substantial proportion, of the equipment’s estimated working life. Under a finance lease, the leasing company (“lessor”) transfers all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the equipment to the customer (“lessee”).

You will not own the equipment at the end of the agreement. Leases that do not meet the operating lease criteria will be finance leases.
