Asset Finance for Business - Equipment, Vehicles & Machinery

A general guide to financing equipment and vehicles without a large upfront cost.

Common asset finance categories:

Vehicle finance

Equipment funding

Flexible terms

Transparent pricing

Asset finance can help businesses understand how vehicles, equipment, and machinery may be funded through fixed repayment structures.

What Is Asset Finance?

Asset finance is a funding solution that allows you to acquire essential business assets without paying the full cost upfront. Instead of depleting your working capital to buy a van, piece of machinery, or IT equipment outright, asset finance lets you spread the cost over time through fixed payments.

The asset itself typically serves as security for the finance, which means asset finance can be easier to qualify for than unsecured business loans. This makes it an attractive option for businesses that need equipment to operate but want to preserve cash for day-to-day expenses.

Business asset finance is available for a wide range of assets including vehicles, manufacturing equipment, office technology, construction plant, and more.

How Asset Finance Works

1

Choose Your Asset

Select the vehicle, equipment, or machinery your business needs.

2

Compare Finance Options

Review lender criteria, repayment terms, ownership options, and total cost before committing.

3

Complete the Provider's Checks

The finance provider reviews affordability, the business, and the asset. The asset itself is often used as security.

4

Acquire the Asset

If approved, funding is provided to purchase or lease the asset, then repayments are made over the agreed term.

What Assets Qualify?

  • Vehicles - Cars, vans, trucks, and fleet vehicles for your business.
  • Machinery - Manufacturing, construction, and industrial equipment.
  • IT and technology - Computers, servers, software, and office technology.
  • Medical equipment - Devices and equipment for healthcare businesses.
  • Office furniture - Desks, chairs, and fit-out equipment.
