What is asset finance and is it right for your business?
Asset finance is an easy way to spread the cost of new business purchases without tying up capital and disrupting cash flow. It is an alternative funding option to an overdraft facility or loan and can be used by any business, whether you are an established SME or a part of a larger corporation.
How does asset finance work?
A business chooses the selected asset they need for their business and the finance provider pays for this equipment outright. In turn the business makes regular payments over an agreed time period, normally between two to five years, to the asset finance provider and at the end of the agreement there is an option to purchase the asset for a small fee.
To help with cash flow fluctuations of seasonal businesses, some lenders, including Novuna Business Finance are able to offer flexible repayment options.
