• Asset Finance – Asset finance involves taking out new borrowing and securing this against a named company asset, assets, or asset class. You can use asset finance in order to purchase a new asset for your company, such as machinery, equipment, or vehicles, or else take out borrowing against an asset your company already owns. Asset finance can be a great way of facilitating the purchase of new equipment which could help enhance and increase operational capacity, allowing for additional funds to be generated. Asset finance is typically repaid to the borrower through a series of monthly repayments over a set period of time. After this point, you may be able to trade up for a newer piece of machinery, or pay a lump sum and retain full ownership of the asset in question

• Invoice Finance – Invoice finance comes in two main forms, invoice discounting and invoice factoring, however, they both work on the same principle which is unlocking the money tied up in unpaid invoices. Once you have set up an invoice finance agreement, every time you issue an invoice to a client you can immediately access a set percentage of the balance, typically between 80-90%. Once the invoice has been paid, the invoice financing company will remove their fees and charges before forwarding on the remaining amount to your company. Invoice finance can be a great way of additional an element of stability and certainty to an uncertain cash flow situation.
• Business Loans – A commercial loan works in the same way as a personal loan; you receive a cash lump sum from the lender which can then be spent in any way you choose (within reason). Repayment of the loan is achieved through a series of monthly instalments with a rate of interest applied to the balance. Depending on the interest rate you qualify for, a traditional loan can be an affordable way of introducing capital to a business which can then allow for key purchases to be made without this impacting on day-to-day cash flow or depleting the company of its cash reserves.
