lease. Most of the answers submitted here are difference
between hire purchase and operating lease. On the face

or even 0.
Fianance lease: Not Applicable (N.A)
Operating lease: N.A
Monthly payment:

Finance lease : lease rent
operating lease: lease rent
Ownership:
Hire purchase : passes to buyer at end of period

There could be other small differences too.
