With the recent announcement of ONTO entering administration, we have already been contacted by a number of customers asking for advice and recommending alternatives. We’re going to use this article to help you find alternative providers and to answer a few questions.

ONTO Enters Administration

As it has been widely reported in the media, ONTO has entered administration blaming a sharp decline in Electric Vehicle residual values. With more than 7,000 vehicles on fleet at the start of 2023 the secured finance soon became an issue especially as backers decided not to inject any further cash. Gavin Maher and Jonathan Lees of Teno Financial Advisory was appointed as joint administrators of ONTO Holdings Ltd on Monday 11th September 2023.

With administrators appointed, those with ONTO car subscriptions it is business as normal and payments must be made according to the signed contract. The job of the administrators is to look at all viable options to continue the business.

We have been advised that some customers who have placed orders with ONTO have had calls to say that the cars will not be delivered and to look at other providers, but we have also heard from customers to say that their cars arrived this week as promised.

Yes, if you are an existing arrangement, you must keep up with the payments as per your contract unless they have contacted you to discuss the return of the vehicle.

To discuss your current car subscription with ONTO, it has been advised that you email: [email protected]

The main reasons that ONTO has entered administration is that the cars were taken on secured finance agreements. This would have been calculated based on future values of the vehicles, with the recent decline in electric vehicle residual values, this effectively means that the cars are in negative equity.

When you run 7,000 vehicles this can quickly add up, especially if your fleet is made up of purely electric cars.
