Using precious cash reserves to purchase capital assets can put pressure on your ability to fund ongoing growth. Purchasing business equipment and assets via an Asset Finance facility preserves your cash in that payment for the asset is spread over a set number of months.
There are different type of Asset Finance such as Finance Lease, Hire Purchase, Operating Lease, and Re-finance (known as Sale and Leaseback); each has different benefits and financial advantages.
You are in control of the process in that you identify and negotiate the purchase of the asset; the Asset Finance company will organise the finance deal.
Depending on the type of facility you take ownership of the asset or equipment at the end of the term can be yours for an agreed nominal fee, you can continue using it under a secondary rental agreement, or just hand the asset back.
The type of assets which can be funded via an Asset Finance facility is very broad. Assets can range from general plant and machinery, business equipment, commercial vehicles, construction equipment, medical equipment, farm machinery, IT equipment; restaurant equipment; in fact there are Asset Finance providers for most types of asset purchases that a business is likely to make.
An Asset Finance can be approved for sole traders, partnerships, LLPs, and Limited Companies.
