Asset & Trade Finance

Equipment finance.

Finance for the specialised equipment a business runs on — medical, manufacturing, hospitality, technology — secured against the equipment itself.

Overview

How it works.

Equipment finance funds the specialised equipment a business depends on — medical and dental gear, manufacturing and production machinery, commercial kitchen and hospitality fit-out, IT and technology infrastructure. Like asset finance, the equipment itself is the security, so the business doesn't have to tie up property to get the loan. The difference is in the specialisation. A high-value diagnostic machine, a CNC line and a restaurant fit-out are three completely different propositions to a lender — some understand a particular industry's equipment well and price it accordingly, others apply a generic policy and either decline it or price it expensively. We know which lenders genuinely understand each category, and that's where we take it. The finance itself can be a chattel mortgage, lease or rental — depending on how your business wants to treat the asset. Both new and used equipment can usually be funded. We keep the approval moving so the equipment is earning for the business as soon as possible.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

They overlap closely — both fund a tangible asset and are usually secured against it. Equipment finance leans toward specialised, industry-specific gear, where which lender you go to matters more because not every lender understands or prices that equipment well.

Yes — that is the core of this product. The key is matching the equipment to a lender that genuinely understands it. A lender familiar with medical or manufacturing equipment will assess and price it far better than one applying a generic policy.

Often, yes, though appetite varies by lender and by how old and specialised the equipment is. We know which lenders are comfortable with used gear in each category.

Each carries different ownership and tax treatment. A lease or rental keeps the asset off the balance sheet; a chattel mortgage means you own it. Your accountant advises on the right treatment for your business — we structure the finance to fit it.

Often the financed amount can include delivery, installation and commissioning costs alongside the equipment itself, depending on the lender. We confirm what can be wrapped in when we structure the deal.
