There are several types of Asset Finance that can help:

Hire Purchase – spreading the cost of buying

Hire Purchase is a simple way to spread the cost of buying an asset.

You pay a deposit plus fixed monthly instalments for the agreed term, which generally lasts between 12 and 72 months. The assets become your property as soon as the final payment is made. This can make HP the solution for durable items you want to keep, such as catering equipment and heavy machinery and for key business items such as a dentist’s chair or a tractor.

Operating Leases

Operating Leases work like a rental agreement in that you pay a monthly rental charge to use the asset.

Maintenance, repairs, and registration can be the responsibility of the leasing company. Operating Leases can be ideal for technical equipment with a limited life that you do not wish to own outright. Some types of medical and scientific instruments which may become obsolete may be suitable for an Operating Lease, as it can allow them to be easily replaced.

Finance Leases

Finance Leases also let you borrow equipment for a set time, but maintenance, repairs and running costs will become your responsibility.

Finance Leases are common with larger assets such as complete factory plant installations. If you want to set up a complete a production line, for example, a finance lease could provide the scale of funding required.

Contract Hire

Contract Hire is often used for business cars, vans and lorries.  

Payments can be reduced, as they are calculated on the purchase value less the estimated residual value of the vehicle at the end of the agreement. This type of finance can be suitable for many kinds of vehicle, from prestige cars, to HGVs and even aircraft.
