Cyclesheme + discount?

elyob said:

Hi, am thiking of buying a bike with cyclescheme, however the bike
shop has just said "no" to using my LCC and getting the 10% off. As
they will be getting 100% of the money, I can't really see the
cyclescheme as "part of another discount". It may be less to me, but
this is for tax reasons, nothing to do with the price of the bike.

Anyway, just wondering if any views here or whether anyone has
successfully used a discount card when getting a cyclescheme bike.

Thanks

Well, will reply to my own post. Turns out the 10% goes to
cyclescheme. So, maybe I will take a look into administering it
myself ... 🙂

If you run your own company, its a doddle to administer yourself. Save all
the hassle, make all the gains. No £1000 limit due to the consumer credit
act stuff, no need to deduct salary sacrifice (assuming that's how you want
it and the company can afford it). Once your company gets to a decent
size, then it might be worth outsourcing to someone such as Cyclescheme.

Otherwise, its whatever your employer chooses to run.
