Key considerations
Confidence in continuing business supports the credit decision
Interim accounts show the current position
A challenging previous financial year does not necessarily prevent an agreement. What matters is whether there has recently been a turnaround.
The order book is key
If convincing financial statements or interim accounts are not yet available, for example for a new business, signed contracts are very valuable.
Useful information
Understand the asset and check that it suits your intended use
For a new investment, understand what you are acquiring and make sure it suits your intended use.
Machine identity
Use the make, model, year and registration or serial details available from the seller or listing.
Business purpose
Summarise the contract, workload or capacity need that makes the asset relevant to the business.
Seller and price
Record who is selling the asset, what is included and the VAT-exclusive asking price when confirmed.
Known uncertainties
Mark missing information as an open question instead of guessing about condition, ownership or equipment.
Practical questions
Before starting a request
Do all details need to be ready?
No. The required company and contact information plus a short description of the asset to be financed are enough to begin. You can also add a sales-listing link if you wish. Other details may follow.
Can a used machine be discussed?
Yes. Age, hours, condition and service history can be added when they are available and relevant.
Is sale and leaseback available?
Sale and leaseback is part of our offering. A realistic assessment of fair market value forms the basis of our offer to purchase and lease back the equipment.
Start with a short request
Tell us briefly about the machine.
Every request is assessed individually. Optional details can be added after the first contact.
