Are you planning to invest in new assets for your organisation? Before you part with working capital or compromise due to budget constraints, you might want to consider financing the purchase.
Asset finance enables you to acquire the assets you need to carry out your operations without having to pay the full cost upfront. Instead, the cost of the asset is spread out over a period of time enabling you to keep capital for other investments and, thanks to fixed regular repayments, manage your cashflow more effectively.

Finance for Your Customers
Strategically, financing assets can transform how you think about procurement in general - no more need to compromise by using assets beyond their useful life, or face spikes in demand on your cashflow when their renewal becomes business critical.
Spreading the cost over time can help you keep more cash in your organisation while acquiring the assets you need to grow, without the compromises or delays often caused by budget restrictions.
Unlike cash, finance can unlock 100% tax relief (on both capital and interest).
Sinking your capital into ultimately depreciating assets isn't the best use of your money. Finance lets you keep the cash so you can invest where it's needed.
With rates fixed throughout the term, budgeting and planning for growth is much easier.
Avoid having to part with VAT as a lump sum upfront as it's often spread over your repayments (excluding Hire/Lease Purchase agreements).
Never again face unexpected spikes in your expenditure that you have not budgeted for. Spreading the cost lets you plan for the future, avoid equipment redundancy and take control of future investments.
Over-reliance on your primary funder is never a great strategy. Accessing specialist funders increases your available credit lines and reduces your risk.
We can wrap all your project costs into one finance package and cover all your expenditure including non-asset based elements such as labour, fees and delivery.
With a finance lease, the funder pays the supplier for the asset and in turn then become its legal owners. They then lease/hire the equipment back to the end user. The payments are charged plus VAT which can be reclaimed as normal.
Similarly to a finance lease, when you enter a Hire Purchase agreement the asset is paid for by the funder, but they will want the VAT to be paid up front on the cost of the equipment (which can be claimed back as normal). The funder then charges a regular fee to the end user, and the last payment has an additional option to purchase fee which transfers legal title to the end user.
An operating lease is a hire rather than a credit agreement which means the organisation is paying simply to use the equipment for a certain time period. When setting up the lease the lender would estimate how much the equipment is likely to be worth at the end of the finance term (its residual value) and that amount would deducted from the lease value, reducing the payments.
