What’s a Personal Guarantee and why do I need one?

A Personal Guarantee is a straightforward agreement, required to protect the assets of NextGear Capital.

As NextGear Capital retains title to the vehicles that you buy, it means that in the event of default by your business, NextGear Capital can lay claim to your assets, or the assets of a third party giving that guarantee, to settle any debt.

It's needed to enable us to claim our losses if our vehicles are sold by your business and we are not paid for them, or they cannot be recovered and sold by us for enough to recoup what we paid for them, as well as any charges or fees payable by you.

What’s a Landlord’s Waiver and why do I need one?

If you rent your property, NextGear Capital may request a signed Landlord's Waiver.

The Landlord's Waiver is a document confirming that in the event of unpaid rent or charges, and that if he takes the premises back from you for non-payment of rent, he will let NextGear Capital recover its stock.

As NextGear Capital retains title to the vehicles you buy on your stocking plan, they can't be used to offset other debt, and NextGear Capital retains the right to repossess that stock if there is any default under the terms of your agreement.

What is covered in the price?

If we ask you now how much it costs to stock individual vehicles or how much profit you’ve made when all costs are taken into consideration, like most dealers you might find it difficult to pinpoint a figure. 

But with NextGear Capital, you’ll be able to accurately work out the profit figure for every sale. Our payment structure is based on set fees, so you’ll know exactly how much each transaction will cost, however long it takes to sell the vehicle. Plus you can use our calculator to find out how using a NextGear Stocking Plan can help your business over a 12 month period as well as for an individual vehicle sale. 

You will be charged a set-up fee once your Stocking Plan is activated and a renewal fee for each annual renewal of your Stocking Plan. A fee is also charged each time our agents conduct a physical audit of your stock. The current audit frequency is monthly. 

 *100% of hammer price (auction purchases), or lower of CAP clean/invoice price (trade vehicles) + VAT funded on LCVs and qualifying vehicles up to the value of €90,000
