Asset finance is a method of lending which helps you to access business assets like equipment, machinery and vehicles without making bulk payments upfront.
With asset finance, things can be offered as collateral, from inventory, machinery, and even buildings. So, for example, a transport company may choose to use vehicles as an asset to secure finance.
Asset finance is designed for any business owner who wishes to access an item of a high value that will help support business growth. The cost of the item will usually be spread over the duration of its usable life.
Asset financing is suitable for business owners and sole traders as well as partnerships, charities and limited companies. It is a cost-effective and cash efficient way to buy a wide range of equipment (including soft assets) for any business.
Asset financing is, in effect, just another business finance solution often used instead of unsecured loans or bank loans. It allows bank lines to be kept intact and balance sheets maintained. Another benefit is that it adds an additional funding partner to a business looking to develop finance lending relationships rather than having a "single point of failure" with just one lender.
Asset finance helps you make a large purchase (asset) but spreads the cost over an agreed period. You’ll pay the lender at the end of every month and at the end of the agreed period - it’s yours to keep.
You will usually be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the asset as if you bought it from the offset.
It’s essentially a loan you use to specifically buy or lease assets that will help grow and develop your business. Depending on the nature of your business, an asset could be anything from office equipment to vehicles and heavy-duty machinery.
Here are some examples of types of finance for assets. If you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch and we'll be happy to talk you through your options.
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 hire purchase the solution for durable items you want to keep, such as catering equipment and heavy machinery and for crucial business items such as a dentists' chair or a tractor.
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 that may become obsolete may be suitable for an operating lease, allowing them to be easily replaced.
Finance leases let you borrow equipment for a set time, but maintenance, repairs and running costs will become your responsibility.
Finance leases are common with more significant assets such as complete factory plant installations. For example, if you want to set up a full production line, a finance lease could provide the scale of funding required.
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 vehicles - including truck finance and vehicle finance - from prestige cars to HGVs and even aircraft.
This type of finance agreement is best suited for businesses that have already invested in equipment and need to release some capital that is tied up in those assets. Your lender will buy the equipment from you and will lease it back to you over a set period, during this period, you can make regular payments.

Asset financing is a more flexible alternative to taking out a bank loan. It allows you to obtain essential equipment that your business relies on without making a lump payment upfront. It makes it easier to manage cash flow and keep your accounts in order while only investing in the assets your business needs to thrive.
Most finance agreements will come with a fixed interest rate, so you’ll know how much you’ll be spending over the next few years, making it easier for you to budget.
The risk behind an asset loan is much lower than a bank loan or a business loan. This is because you’ll not be met with penalty charges. Instead, you’ll only lose the equipment. This means there will be no effect on your cash flow as you’ll only be paying for what you need.
Our customers are always at the heart of what we do, here are just some of the industries we offer asset finance to.

An asset finance broker will find the right funding for their clients who are looking to access significant capital assets without having to buy them outright. It’s a broker’s job to source the right deal for you and your business needs.
When a business takes out a loan, it will usually need to be repaid before the benefits of the loan start driving an income. Therefore, it can be said that the business is funding long term assets with short term liabilities.
Here is an example of what this means: a business will take a loan out to build a new plant. The loan is then paid back over 3 years. However, the plant may not start making a profit for at least 5 years. This means the maturity of the loan (3 years) doesn’t match the maturity of the new plant (5 years).
Funding a long term project with borrowing (liability) that will need to be repaid before the project can drive profit could send a business into insolvency.
You should always factor in the maturity of the asset into any borrowing you’re considering. Match the duration of the loan to the time it will take for the asset to bring in the added income.
