Bike leasing for the self-employed

Bicycle leasing is an employee benefit that you can also take advantage of as a self-employed individual. With Lease a Bike, you can quickly and easily lease the bike of your dreams. The bike of your choice is not financed through salary conversion but is generally treated as a business expense. If you are eligible for input tax credits, you can generally claim the sales tax included in the monthly payments. For your specific situation, it’s advisable to consult with your tax advisor.

The term of contracts for company bicycles is generally 36 months.

Three months before the end of the lease agreement, you will receive an email notifying you that the lease term is coming to an end. In addition, well in advance of the lease agreement’s expiration, we will determine whether it is possible to offer you the option to purchase the company bike. There is no entitlement to a purchase offer or to the acquisition of the bike. If you do not wish to purchase the bike, we will arrange for it to be conveniently picked up from your location.
