Finance for Schools

Thanks to new UK government accounting rules, our finance solutions enable educational institutions to enter fixed-term leases to acquire a wide range of assets and equipment without the initial financial burden. 

The education sector often uses asset finance to acquire necessary equipment, facilities, and resources needed for high-quality education services. This flexibility extends to academies from September 2024.

How does Finance for Schools Work?

Asset finance allows you to spread the cost over time through regular payments, making it more affordable and manageable. Invest in your school without depleting your budget; leverage the finance options available to level up your school today.
