Comprehensive Financing Options

Regardless of whether you are an HGV hire company or a business looking for competitive plant machinery finance options, we can offer you a wide range of finance products designed to suit your different business requirements:

For instance, these can be around:

A Hire Purchase Agreement allows you to acquire new assets by spreading the total cost over an agreed period with fixed monthly payments.

Then at the end of the contract, ownership of the asset transfers to you, giving you a very straightforward path to asset ownership on the whole.

With lease finance, this is ideal for businesses aiming to use equipment without immediate ownership. For example, you lease the asset for a fixed term, with the flexibility to continue leasing, return, or just purchase the equipment at the end of the agreement - which is a great way to get the use of a high-value asset without having to buy it outright.

This type of finance is the most suitable for business owners to get hold of assets that may become obsolete quickly. This lease then allows you to use the equipment for a portion of its useful life, with lower regular payments and no obligation to purchase at the end.

Then, at the end of the lease agreement, you hand the asset back and can consider taking out a new agreement.

This type of asset finance agreement gives you a full-service leasing option where we manage the asset's maintenance and servicing, allowing you to focus on your core business operations.

You can also unlock the value tied up in your existing machinery assets by refinancing them with asset finance options - which then can give you a quick boost to your working capital.

We can also look to provide you with flexible funding options for different types of asset finance solutions as well, to support you with your various business purposes - from helping you with your company's expansion initiatives to managing your operational costs and lots more.
