Asset Finance

Fund the equipment,
not just the property.

Funding to purchase, lease, or release capital tied up in vehicles, machinery, and equipment — structured against the asset itself rather than your balance sheet alone.

Who this is for

Businesses that rely on equipment.

Asset finance lets you spread the cost of essential equipment, or release the value already tied up in what you own.

01

New equipment purchase

Vehicles, machinery, and equipment funded through hire purchase or leasing, spreading the cost over the asset's useful life.

02

Refinancing owned assets

Release capital tied up in equipment you already own, using it as security for working capital elsewhere in the business.

03

Growing or replacing a fleet

Structured funding for businesses scaling up vehicle or equipment fleets, matched to usage and depreciation patterns.

How it works

From enquiry to completion.

01

Tell us about the asset

What you're looking to fund or refinance, its value, and how it's used in the business.

02

We shortlist the panel

We match your case against lenders with genuine appetite for that asset class, whether vehicles, plant, or specialist equipment.

03

Valuation & agreement

The asset is valued and terms are agreed — hire purchase, lease, or refinance, depending on what suits the business.

04

Funds released

Funding completes and the asset is put to work, or capital is released back into the business.

FAQs

Common questions.

What's the difference between hire purchase and leasing?

With hire purchase, you typically own the asset once all payments are made. With leasing, you pay to use the asset over a set period without ever taking ownership.

Can I refinance equipment I already own?

Yes — this is a common way to release capital tied up in vehicles, machinery, or equipment, using the asset itself as security rather than borrowing against property.

What types of assets can be financed?

Vehicles, plant and construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, medical and office equipment, and many other specialist asset types, depending on lender appetite.

Does the asset need to be new?

No — both new and used assets can typically be financed, though terms and lender choice may vary depending on the asset's age and condition.
