We have been putting finance deals together for 20+ years, covering a vast array of business assets from printing presses to construction plant & property, modular buildings to IT equipment & software. During this time we have built up strong contacts with banks, finance houses, niche lenders & private equity and the key decision-makers & underwriters within them, giving us a great tool-box to work from.

Electronic document exchange/e-sign facilities are available to ensure rapid completions & pay-outs.

Our Services

Hire Purchase and Leasing are amongst the most widely-used & simplest forms of credit and can be used to finance almost any business asset, whether hard (e.g. plant/machinery/vehicles) or soft (e.g. IT/office equipment/scaffolding/catering equipment), subject to credit underwriting.

Asset refinance is a way of releasing the equity a business holds in its existing hard assets to generate working capital. The assets are sold to a lender and then re-acquired by financing them on a Hire Purchase or Lease agreement (sale and HP-back/sale and lease-back), or Loan and Chattel Mortgage.

Most company failures are caused by cash flow problems. Invoice Finance allows you to quickly release cash into your business by converting the value of unpaid invoices or contract billing into ready working capital.

Asset Based Lending (ABL) is a way of utilising the underlying value of multiple assets within your business to release working capital to fund growth, finance expansion plans or new acquisitions, fund MBOs or MBls, or relieve cash flow pressures & constraints by replacing existing lenders and giving you a fresh start.
