Outcome
Completed

An established precision engineering business wanted to buy a new CNC machine.

The equipment would increase production capacity and reduce the need to outsource work.

  1. The requirement

    The business wanted to fund the machine while keeping cash for wages, tooling, materials and normal operations.

  2. The challenge

    The company did not want to use short-term borrowing to pay for an asset expected to stay productive for years.

  3. The structure

    We arranged asset finance structured around the machinery, so the repayments were spread over the working life of the equipment.

  4. The result

    The machine could be acquired without taking £185,000 out of working capital in one payment.

Every case is assessed on its own merits. These pages explain the finance used here and what lenders look at.

Client details are anonymised. Every case is different and past results don't guarantee future outcomes: lenders set their own criteria and all finance is subject to status.
