The right equipment is vital to the success of your forestry business - and so is having the finance you need.
Table of Contents
Your equipment is key to productivity and safety. But if your business is busy, you will wear out equipment and vehicles fast.
What’s more, existing heavy equipment may no longer be adequate for changing forestry practices. New developments, such as short rotation and reforestation, are joining the traditional tasks of felling and transport, requiring new attachments and, in some cases, completely new machines.
To stay safe and competitive, you need constant investment in equipment.
At Rangewell, we can help.
Asset Finance solutions for the forestry industry
A £100,000 plus cash purchase of equipment like a skidder or forwarder, for example, is impossible for most businesses.
At Rangewell, we can help you find the solutions. Asset Finance can help make the equipment you need more affordable, by spreading the costs over time. Your new machines pay for themselves from the extra productivity and revenue they generate.
With Asset Finance, the funds you need are secured on the asset itself. This means that if you were unable to make the repayments the lender would simply repossess the asset.
This reduces the risk to the lender and to you because it means none of your other personal or business assets are at risk.
It can also reduce the cost of the finance, as lower risk to the lender usually means lower interest rates to you.
Why you need finance to save money
Equipment vendors may offer finance arrangements to support their sales.
Their rates can look tempting, but at Rangewell we have found that arranging your own finance with a specialist lender can be more cost-effective, reducing costs even compared with dealers’ ‘interest-free’ offers. Call us to see how.
A wide choice of Asset Funding solutions
Asset Funding covers both Hire Purchase and Lease Arrangements.
Hire Purchase
Hire Purchase lets you spread the cost of buying the equipment you will use for the long term. Arrangements generally last between 12 and 72 months and need you to pay a deposit plus fixed monthly instalments for the agreed term, after which the assets become yours.
Finance Leases
Finance Leases let you spread the cost of equipment across its entire working life. Maintenance, repairs, running costs, administration, and registration will usually be your responsibility.
Operating Leases
Operating Leases also exist and work much like a rental agreement. You pay a monthly rental charge to use the asset, while its maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. This type of finance can be best suited for equipment which will have a limited life.
Contract Hire
Contract Hire is often used for business vehicles. Payments are calculated on the purchase value less the estimated value of the vehicle at the end of the agreement. This helps keep your monthly repayments down and lets you switch to a new vehicle at the end of the agreement.
Making existing payments easier
If an existing asset finance arrangement is causing problems, or if you want to redirect cash elsewhere in your business, we may be able to help you refinance it. A lender will pay off what you owe under your original agreement and set up a new finance arrangement.
This can mean reduced repayments, spread out over a longer term, or provide you with a cash lump sum as well as a new finance agreement.

Helping you build your profits
Repayments scaled to fit your operating budget
Asset finance can be arranged to help your repayments fit your monthly budget. You may not even need a deposit with some types of finance.
Reduce capital needs by spreading repayment
Asset finance avoids the need for large capital expenditure, even for major equipment. Instead, spreads the cost of your vehicles and equipment over months or years.
Funding for your growing business
Asset finance can work at any scale, from a single chainsaw to a specialist heavy vehicle. You can have additional equipment as you need it to grow your business.
Reducing the risk to your business
Some type of funding can put your business assets, or even your home at risk. Asset funding lets you avoid this risk. If the repayments became a problem, the lender could simply repossess the equipment.
A single arrangement can cover all your equipment needs
Asset funding can cover virtually any type of equipment used in your forestry business, including vehicles as well as processing plant. A single arrangement can cover items from multiple suppliers.
Better than 0% finance
Some forestry equipment dealers may offer 0% finance deals on their vehicles and equipment. Call Rangewell to understand how we can help you pay less than these ‘interest-free’ deals.
