FAQs for cycle to work finance:
How are the bikes funded?
Axis Leasing has developed a finance facility specifically for the Cycle to Work Scheme. They arrange a credit line for an estimated take-up value of bikes over a pre-determined term (normally 12 or 18 months, but longer periods considered upon request). Rates are based on this estimated take-up.
All paperwork is sent directly to you, fully completed, ready for signature /authorisation.
What type of funding is it?
The agreement is a fixed term commercial loan.
Does the employer own the Bikes?
Yes.
Do the employees get the opportunity to own the bikes?
Yes, they do, as per the guidelines laid down by HMRC and advice from Cyclescheme.
Is the scheme cost-neutral to the employer?
Yes. The interest charged over the agreement is passed over to the employee but, as it is shared out, the impact is minimal.
