Asset finance for your business
Asset finance allows you to spread the cost of essential equipment, machinery, vehicles or technology over manageable monthly payments. Instead of paying upfront, you can protect cash flow while accessing the assets you need to operate, expand or modernise your business.
We work with lenders offering hire purchase, finance leases and operating leases, with tailored solutions to match your cash flow and long-term business plans. Your dedicated finance specialist will help you compare options and choose the most suitable structure.

Why would I need asset finance?
Asset finance is useful for any business that requires large equipment purchases.
Spread the cost of expensive equipment
Instead of paying up front, asset finance lets you spread payments over time, keeping cash flow strong and predictable.
Access better, more reliable equipment
Leasing or hire purchase gives you access to higher-quality machinery that might be unaffordable as a lump sum.
Support business growth
If you need to expand operations, take on new contracts or upgrade outdated equipment, asset finance makes this possible without financial strain.
Preserve working capital
Keeping cash available for payroll, stock, marketing, or operational needs helps your business remain agile.
Flexible funding structures
You can choose between hire purchase, finance leasing or operating leasing depending on whether you want to own the asset or upgrade regularly.

When should a business consider asset refinance?
Asset refinance is where you can raise capital against assets your business already owns, either outright or with minimal existing finance. Instead of receiving funding to purchase an asset, you receive funding from an asset you already own.

Most physical, tangible business assets can be financed. Common examples include machinery, vehicles, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, IT systems, commercial kitchen equipment and medical devices.
