What Is Asset Finance and How Does It Work?

Asset finance is a type of business loan used to purchase or lease physical assets – like vehicles, tools, equipment, or technology — while preserving working capital.

Here’s how asset finance typically works:

  • You choose the asset you need (car, trailer, machine, fit-out etc.)
  • A lender funds the asset and you repay it over time
  • Ownership can sit with you or the lender, depending on structure (e.g. chattel mortgage vs lease)

Asset Finance for Small & Growing Businesses

Small business owners face unique pressures – unpredictable revenue, tight margins, and a need to move fast. That’s where smart asset finance can make all the difference.

  • Compare lenders who understand small business realities
  • Choose loan terms that align with your seasonality and growth
