How Does Asset Finance Work?
Equipment finance works by allowing businesses to lease or finance the purchase of necessary equipment. A finance provider pays for the equipment, which the business then uses in exchange for regular payments. These payments are spread over an agreed period, making it easier to manage cash flow. At the end of the term, depending on the agreement, businesses can choose to purchase the equipment, continue leasing, or upgrade to newer equipment. This financing approach is ideal for businesses needing expensive equipment without the upfront costs.
Asset Classes
Asset classes typically covered by equipment finance include a wide range of business assets. These can range from heavy machinery and industrial equipment for manufacturing, to office technology like computers and printers. Vehicles used for business purposes, such as trucks and delivery vans, are also commonly financed.
Additionally, specialized tools and equipment required in sectors like construction, medical, and hospitality are included. The variety of assets covered makes equipment finance a versatile option for different business needs.
Who Should Apply?
Asset rental finance should be considered by businesses that require expensive equipment to operate but prefer not to tie up large amounts of capital in asset purchases.
This includes startups needing to conserve cash, established businesses aiming to upgrade or expand, and companies facing rapid technological changes in their industry.
It’s also beneficial for businesses with seasonal operations or those seeking to manage cash flow effectively while maintaining access to the latest equipment.
