Where asset finance fits the Salisbury economy
Which Salisbury firms are likely users of asset finance? Start with manufacturing (8.6%), construction (5.2%) and transport and storage (3.3%), which add up to 17.1% of employee jobs (2024). Great Britain: 17.3% (Nomis labour market profile: Wiltshire).
| Sector | Salisbury share | Salisbury jobs | Great Britain | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | 8.6% | about 18,100 | 7.3% | 1.18 |
| Construction | 5.2% | about 10,900 | 5.0% | 1.04 |
| Transport and storage | 3.3% | about 6,900 | 5.0% | 0.66 |
Relative to Great Britain, manufacturing is the strongest of these locally (1.18 times). A factory's lathes, presses and lines can be spread over their useful life instead of paid for in one go (machinery finance).
Against its nearest neighbours in our data, those sectors are 17.1% of Salisbury jobs, compared with 14.9% in Southampton and 12.3% in Winchester.

Does an SP postcode change asset finance terms?
Not in our panel data: 40 asset finance providers, none of which exclude SP. Providers look at the asset itself, its age and resale value, and the business accounts.
