FAQ’s

What is the smallest and largest VAT loan you will do?

£5,000.00 up to £500,000.00.

What is roughly the interest rate?

8% APR, maybe more if the repayment term is under a year.

What makes you different from other leasing companies?

We like to think a number of things:
1. We have a member of staff who only works with architects
2. We have arranged many leases and loans for architects, hence have experience in this sector
3. WestWon has good business relationships with computer software suppliers working in the CAD market
4. We have a client portal, so you can see quickly and easily see what agreements you have with our company

How cheap are your lease rates for architects?

The leasing and loan sector for architects is already very competitive. Hence, we will give you a very competitive quote from day one. Normally, we do not lose business because we are too expensive.

Can you recommend a supplier of CAD equipment for my architect’s practise?

Yes, we have worked with a range of suppliers selling AutoCad and other architects software.

Can you finance PAYE bills?

Sorry, no we cannot do this.

A bank loan is cheaper, why should we go ahead with WestWon?

The fact is often a bank loan will work out cheaper than a lease or VAT loan through a third-party company. However, often a bank will charge a facility fee or require personal guarantees. One of the other key reasons is that architects often want to use a bank facility for other working capital requirements.

What is the tax position on a lease?

With a lease rental, all the rental repayments are allowable against tax. This will mean a much better tax position compared to the normal written down allowances HMRC allow at 18% pa.

Can you advise on the tax advantages of leasing?

Yes, we can. We do have to caveat, we are not accountants or tax experts and will not have a working knowledge of your present tax position. Hence, we would always recommend that you seek professional advise if needed.

Who insures the equipment on a lease?

You must keep the equipment insured on your practise policy.

Types of Loans for Architects

Professional indemnity loans for architects

Many architect’s practises look to finance their professional indemnity fees via a loan. Repayments terms are between three months and one year. To proceed, all we will need is the quote for the professional indemnity insurance and the term you would like the loan over. We will then send you a finance quote. It only takes a couple of days from application to your professional indemnity insurance bill being paid.

VAT and Corporation Tax loans for architects

WestWon can finance your VAT bill and or Corporation tax liability, again over three months or even up to a year if needed. We will need sight of the VAT / Corporation tax liability bill and in most occasions will pay HMRC directly.
