What is Equipment Finance?
Equipment Finance is a way to avoid the large upfront cost of having to purchase new equipment or machinery by spreading the cost over affordable monthly payments. This means your business can get what you need now, capturing immediate opportunities and generating revenue whilst repaying the funds as those earnings come in.
How Does Equipment Finance Work ?
With equipment finance you don’t have to wait until you’ve saved for the full cost of a piece of machinery, equipment, vehicle or specialised technology to purchase. Instead, Equipment Finance allows you agree a finance arrangement that covers the cost of the equipment you want whilst then allowing you to use the equipment from day one in your business. Like other business loans, SMEs can then repay the cost over a set term via regular monthly repayments (and in some cases weekly or other payment structures) meaning you can match the cost to the income the equipment helps you generate.
What Can an Equipment Loan Be Used For?
Businesses use equipment finance to fund a huge range of essential assets; from core work-horses like plant, machinery and manufacturing equipment to vehicles and commercial transport needed to keep operations moving. Businesses also use equipment finance products to invest in office or IT equipment such as laptops, servers or specialist software and hardware. This finance product also supports the purchasing of sector-specific assets across hospitality, construction, logistics and production. In short, if the equipment is vital to how your business operates and would normally require a significant upfront outlay, equipment finance allows you to secure it immediately without draining your working capital.
Who is Equipment Funding Suitable For?
An Equipment Finance loan may be the right product for you if:
-
You need equipment now in order to take on new work, increase capacity or improve productivity but don’t want to tie up large amounts of cash up-front.
-
Your business has strong revenue or clear future earnings from the equipment, but you prefer to match repayments to income.
-
You want to preserve cashflow and reserves for other strategic priorities such as marketing, hiring or stock.
-
You’re looking to stay competitive by using modern, efficient equipment rather than older assets which may become a drag on productivity.
