Cashflow is king in any
business and having to fund the purchase of business assets can
be a serious drain on working capital.
Most businesses at some time require equipment such
as vehicles, computer systems, or equipment for a
specialised industry. This is where flexible business
asset finance can help you benefit from the asset
needed without tieing up valuable working capital in it.
It also reduces your exposure to the depreciation of the
asset.
New printing market tapped
with assistance of business asset finance
facility...
Printmaster is a small printing
company based in Yorkshire. The sales
director identified a new and lucrative
market for the business which required
specialised folding and binding equipment.
To support this equipment the existing IT
based systems also needed updating.
Although the business had only been trading
for ten months, a provider was sourced who was
willing to fund the new equipment at a
competitive rate. The provider took into
consideration their healthy, although short,
trading history and earnings forecasts.
Since diversifying into the new market the
business has secured three substantial
contracts and received repeat business from new
customers.

New contract secured thanks
to asset finance...
Direct Vehicle Automotive is a
distributor of cars and vans for
automotive companies and manages logistics
including transportation of vehicles to
and from dealerships.
The company was negotiating a large
contract, but to secure the deal they had to
expand their capacity and buy six vehicle
transporters at a cost of £603,000. This
represented a huge step-up in terms of the
company's financing needs.
Finance for all six transporters was
arranged on a Lease Purchase agreement. The
company pays fixed monthly payments over a five
year period and will own the transporters at
the end of the finance term.

Refinance existing assets to release cash
into your business...
Another application of business asset finance is the ability
to release cash tied up in existing assets which can then be
invested in other areas of your business.
The lender buys the asset from you and then rent's or leases
it back to you over an agreed term. In addition, interest
payments can be offset against your net profits.
Released funds can be used in lots of ways to benefit your
business...
- Cash injection
- Fund product research and development
- Buy another business
- Hire extra staff
- Purchase extra equipment
- Finance share purchase or management buy-out
Food company funds product
development from it's own assets...
A natural health foods
company needed to raise additional
capital to invest in the development
and marketing of new products
Following a valuation of the
company's machinery one of our panel
lender's was able to advance 100% of the
asset values and provide the necessary funds by
taking title to assets already owned by the
company. The company received the funds just
ten days after the initial enquiry.
The asset finance facility helped the
company to develop new products,
which resulted in increased turnover and
profitability.

Top five questions about business
asset finance...
If you have a question about asset finance that is not
answered here, please complete the enquiry form on the contact
us page.
- What is the advantage of leasing assets
rather than buying them
outright?
Leasing an asset allows the cash
that would otherwise be tied up in it, to be used
to improve the profitability of the business. In effect,
income producing assets, such as machinery, pay for
themselves. Plus you can write off 100% of the lease
payments against profits.
- What type of assets can be
financed?
You can lease almost anything,
from assets worth millions to small business equipment.
- Can assets be finance if I have a poor
credit history?
Yes, we work with
specialist lenders who can finance assets for those with a
history of CCJs and defaults etc.
- What term will an asset
be financed over?
Typically,
most asset finance lenders offer terms of 1-7 years
depending upon the asset being leased etc.
- What happens at the end of a lease
contract?
You will be given the option to
renew the lease or cancel it. If you cancel, the asset has
to be returned to the lender or you may be given the option
of purchasing it at a preferential rate.
