Frequently asked questions —

Asset finance is a simple method to help businesses acquire equipment to help grow their businesses. That could include purchasing new or used equipment or indeed releasing equity out of equipment already owned. Ultimately, asset finance is a proven product that assists businesses with cash flow and growth.

Asset finance can be used to purchase any asset that helps your business grow. This could include trucks, trailers, vans, cars, manufacturing machinery, construction equipment, recycling machinery, and agricultural equipment and much, much more. However, it is far easier to ask us what we can’t finance as this list is far shorter!

The main advantage of asset finance is that you get to pay for the asset over its working life which helps cash flow.

We provide products that tailor your requirements with examples being:

• Hire purchase – this is a simple way to buy an asset and spread the cost over a defined amount of time. You’ll pay for it in instalments via simple payment plan tailored to suit your budget and cashflow requirements
• Finance leasing – a finance lease works as a rental agreement. We buy the asset you need and rent it to you over the duration of the lease contract. That means you have it straight away, and only need a fraction of the total amount up front
• Asset equity release – this is a finance solution that enables you to raise capital for your business by securing a loan against your high value assets – traditionally machinery, equipment or vehicles

Our products offer great benefits in terms of cost efficiency and agreements are fixed and cannot be withdrawn.
