Reasons to Use B2B Asset Finance Solutions

Eliminate uncertainty

By fixing rental costs and the interest to be paid throughout the duration of the contract, you can effectively prepare and plan for the future. You can remove tomorrow’s uncertainty.

Improve cash flow

Avoid major upfront costs that come with outright purchases and alleviate cash flow by spreading the cost. Often, your agreement can begin with just the initial payment.

Protect existing lines of credit

Using asset finance protects your existing lines of credit such as bank loans and overdrafts, allowing you to keep those open for more appropriate times and uses.

Avoid wasted expenditure

Technologies constantly evolve, therefore most business equipment tends to depreciate in value. Rather than spend a large sum of cash in full on a commercial asset that will lose value, with asset finance you pay as you use.

Tax benefits

Finance lease rentals can be 100% tax deductible against profits.

Keep up-to-date

With many of our B2B finance solutions, you have the opportunity to upgrade at any time, allowing your company to stay competitive and efficient with the latest equipment.
