Asset Finance Options

There are several types of asset finance. Each has its uses, benefits and drawbacks, and we can help you choose the finance option that’s right for you and your business.

  • Hire Purchasing

    Hire Purchase allows you to gain an asset your business needs, without paying upfront and buying the asset outright. You can spread the cost of a purchase for up to 7 years making it a great way to gain access to a much-needed business asset without investing huge amounts of capital.

    When your agreement ends, you are given the option to purchase the asset with a further payment.

    • Save Capital - Secure equipment quickly whilst retaining working capital
    • Flexibility - The process is straightforward and you'll be able to maintain control
    • Tax Advantages - Interest charges may be offset against profits for taxation

    Find out more about Hire Purchasing

  • Lease Financing

    A finance lease (also known as a capital lease) is similar to hire purchasing but without the option to purchase the asset at the end of your agreement.

    The asset remains the property of the finance company, while you retain the use of the asset for the duration of the lease term. However, if you still require the asset you do have the option to extend your lease.

    • Predictability - Set regular payments
    • Tax Advantages - Typically rentals are corporation tax deductible
    • Efficiency - Minimal costs upfront

    Find out more about Lease Financing

  • Refinancing

    Refinancing is an asset finance option that allows you to use existing assets as collateral against funding. Letting you access the cash that’s tied up in your assets, as all, or part of a payment towards your new assets.

    This can be used for Lease Financing or Hire Purchasing and is a great way to finance a new asset or piece of equipment you need when you don’t have large amounts of capital at hand to invest.

    • Lower Interest Rates - Refinancing can secure a lower interest rate, reducing overall borrowing costs
    • Debt Consolidation - Consolidate debts into a single loan, lowering the overall interest rates
    • Leverage Existing Equity - Use existing assets to obtain new assets, reducing cash investment

    FAQs

    What is an asset finance broker?
    An asset finance broker acts as an intermediary between businesses seeking to finance assets and lenders offering asset finance products. Brokers help businesses find the most suitable financing options, negotiate terms, and guide them through the application process. They have access to a wide range of lenders and can provide expert advice to ensure businesses get the best deal.
    Is asset finance the same as asset-based lending?

    No, they are different forms of finance; through asset finance, it is normally the asset which is being funded which provides the security for the loan. However, asset-based lending (ABL) utilises an asset which a company already owns, using this as security against funding for another purpose, such as purchasing a new asset.

    Can you get asset finance with a bad business credit score?

    Yes, it is possible to get asset finance with bad credit, though it may be more challenging. Lenders consider several factors when evaluating asset finance applications, and credit history is one of them. You may have to pay higher interest rates or pay larger deposits for assets. For more favourable terms, look to improve your business credit score.

    What are the benefits of using asset finance?

    Asset finance offers several benefits to a business, such as:

    • Cash Flow Management: Spreads the cost of assets over time, preserving cash flow.
    • Up-to-Date Equipment: Allows businesses to acquire the latest equipment without large upfront costs.
    • Flexibility: Various finance options can be tailored to meet specific business needs.
    • Maintenance Costs: With leasing and hiring, maintenance costs are usually the responsibility of the provider which can reduce operating costs
    What is an asset?

    An asset is anything your business needs, from business vehicles and office space, to equipment and machinery. Assets are a general term, relating to the operation of your business: But aren’t anything that you sell to customers or clients.

    Do I need Asset Finance or a Business Loan?

    Asset Finance and Business Loans both have benefits that can support the operation of your business. Asset Finance is useful when you are looking to acquire funding for a tangible asset for your business, whether renovating your office, growing your business fleet, or purchasing an essential piece of equipment.

    Business Loans meanwhile, can be used for any financial need. Due to their more flexible nature, and because they are often higher risk for lenders, they have higher interest rates.

    How quickly can I get Asset Finance?

    We move fast to get you the business loan you need, as soon as we can. Once you’ve sent over the relevant financial information, we will have the funds for the asset in your account within 72 hours.

    Do I own any assets that I buy with Asset Finance?

    While you have exclusive use of the assets that you lease, they remain the property of Union Business Finance. With a hire purchase agreement however, you have the opportunity to buy the assets at the end of the agreement, for a small free.
