Finding the right solution for your business…

Leasing

Acquire a new asset but don’t want to commit to ownership

  • You select the equipment and supplier then we buy the equipment on your behalf
  • We purchase the equipment and lease it to your business for an agreed term
  • At the end of the agreement, you either return or continue to use it for an additional charge
  • You ‘rent’ the asset rather than own it

Hire Purchase

Spread the cost of buying new equipment or machinery

  • You fix the cost of acquiring an asset and spread the cost over time. At the end of the term the asset is yours
  • You select the equipment and supplier then we buy the equipment on your behalf

Refinancing

Access cash by unlocking the value of your existing assets

  • Refinancing offers the best of both worlds because you can still use the asset in question at the same time as capitalising on a cash injection straight into your business
  • Refinancing is different to leasing and hire purchase because you are accessing funding via your existing asset
