Employing first electrician - van question

[Undirection]

We are planning on employing an electrician who does a fair bit of work for us but I'm not sure what to do about a van. He has his own which is fine. Options are:

1. Buy it off him and then give him fuel card
2. He keeps it/uses it and we pay mileage
3. Lease him a new for a couple of hundred a month plus insurance, road tax etc.

Also, not sure about tools, do we just get him to use his own?

Not really worked out any numbers or pros/cons yet but just wanted to post this on here as hopefully others will have done similar.

Fair points, thanks guys. we can always buy/lease a van later on.

It's a good point about private mileage but I guess at some point the costs will be better for a leased van, I guess...
